of the movie.BEST MOMENT: The elegant crooning break in the middle.GRADE: B-"Nobody Does It Better"—Carly Simon (The Spy Who Loved Me, 1977)The Pre-Modern Era of Bond themes was largely misguided in its abandonment of the Bondness necessary for a great theme song, but there's one glaring exception. Carly Simon contributes one of her best songs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and one of the best songs qua songs in the franchise's history. It probably helps that she's a beautiful woman professing her undying love and admiration for Bond. And "makes me feel sad for the rest"—what a brilliant turn! She even works the title of the film into the song. Top shelf.BEST MOMENT: Simon's muscular growl on "Have to be so good."GRADE: B+"Moonraker"—Shirley Bassey (Moonraker, 1979)The greatest Bond siren of them all gives it her best shot, but even she can't save a weak song assigned to the weakest Bond film of them all. The song itself has a decent melody, and of course Bassey is masterful as always. Too many strings
