This is my favorite James Bond theme of all time
Mine too 👌
Same here.
Proper song.....proper singer !
whats about LIVE AND LET DIE
TinaTurner golden eye is the best bond theme song
The most underappreciated Bond Theme
But the best one. Love Golden Eye equally
She's 74 OMG and still sing perfectly with that perfect power she has. Damn it.... Today's young singers better take a bow and learn from her
My thoughts exactly, she's still on it
I saw her a few years ago... She was so good I rebooked another show the following week in another city. Unbelievable
My head is all over the floor right now... It's really impressive how good she still is
What taking care of yourself all career looks and sounds like
Ummm... Of course she's belting it for her age, but she is absolutely not still as good as when she was young. Her voice is wobbling flat and sharp, struggling to hold notes and sounds thinner with less power and control. She is even ducking out of some notes. I also don't like the shoddy arrangement from the band here, it sounds weak when it should sound massive and epic like it did in the movie.
Almost 30 years ago this song was released and she's still singing it with no effort! Classy and elegant! 💖
This is how a true DIVA looks and sounds...after sooo many years...wow...
I know. Bloody hell... I would!
YES!!!!
At the time, Timothy Dalton's Bond wasn't received very well but in hindsight, he was a superb Bond, in a pair of very watchable films. This theme is absolutely up there with the best of them, and Gladys Knight has still got it.
She's still got it.
It didn't do well in America... But it was a big hit all over the world
Dalton was so underrated.I love him as James Bond.
He wasn't well received because every one knew at the time, Pierce Brosnan was chosen
Shirley Bassey ... These are the best and then you can add License To Kill.
1, Goldfinger,
2, Diamonds Are Forever,
3, Moonraker.
4, License To Kill.
Gladys singing THIS song live just has me in tears - PERFECTION!
LITERALLY!!!!!
Tim Dalton was Ian Fleming's bond and Gladys killed it w this amazing song.
Still a powerhouse and no autotune watch and learn todays singer
Awesome. Incredible voice for over 70 years old. Pure class.
She is the definition of class and talent
I find it so hard to believe that her voice has not changed over the years. She always been such a lady with so much grace.
It is incredible. So many artists fall on hard times, lose their 'voice' and struggle later in life. Gladys Knight made it!!!!

Timothy Dalton by far the best actor to play James Bond because he played what Fleming wrote dark brooding not looking like he really loved his job played the cruel part really well and looking at him you could believe he could brutally kill someone, his films are not given the credit they deserve and him as the most credible Bond.
Nick Nowell Agreed
Well said. I always felt he was underrated! I loved him as Bond. I also loved Roger Moore and Connery. I grew up in the 80's so Roger Moore is the one I grew up with.
Licence to Kill was my favourite of his
Dalton is the best bond.
Timothy was the best Bond
This and Golden Eye are my absolute favourite Bond theme songs... Miss Gladys just has that something special, her voice just evokes emotions in anyone listening
Same here, Gladys and Tina were the best
Dito.
Yep Golden Eye and License to the kill are my fave and two of the best Bond themes around. They should give Mariah a shot at a bond theme.
@@BillBiggs1 Mine too, they really made magic when then got Gladys Knight and Tina Turner on these bond songs.
@@jamesmartinsteyn6124 yep and we should be grateful Tina and Gladys accepted the gig.
Now this is how you do a live performance!
The song is my all time favourite song, the best Bond song and sung perfectly by Gladys Knight, after all these years her voice is still so powerful!
its mixed bad I can barely hear the orchestra section. Were their mics even on? The guitar alone is louder than all of them combined
Well I was more concentrated on her and she is still belting out the song in her 70’s…
A legend giving everyone a masterclass on how to perform with class and soul!
Her voice is magical. Love it
Fantastic ................................Best Bond Theme ever and Gladys has made it her personal property . Brilliant as it is said ' class is permanent ' .............................THIS IS CLASS both MUSIC and SINGER . Well done PROMS . Gladys excellent .
They should give Mariah a shot at a bond theme.
Versus took me here. I’m 23 years old and finally gonna start listening to this Queen’s music!! Just became a Tina Turner fan now might add Gladys to the list.
Please do and look up the Claudine soundtrack she sung the entire soundtrack
Might?!? 😂😂😂
@@MallyG678
ikr
I love Mama Gladys all day long and this version is definitely the one.
Just magical! This woman is still in top form!
Theres something in her voice that always causes a llump in my throat ....long may the empress of soul reign 😊
Who’s here from Verzuz . The moment she started singing this I said to myself this sounds like a bond song and boy was I right!!! Amazing
At first I was like is this gold finger ? Lol
I AM! 👍👍👍👍👍
Not gold finger 😂😂😂
Same. I never knew Gladys did a Bond theme.
You're so right about the sound, I've loved her for 45 years... x
SHE LOOK LIKE AMAZING .DIVA FOREVER .
this is one of the most underrated bond songs.
beauty and a great voice! love you Gladys! Uruguay love you!
Pretenders and wannabes, sit down, shut up and watch a soul queen do her thing.
That's right. Use a legend to bring down the young newcomers. Hope you feel better now.
get over yourself
@richard dixon With a response like that, I am guessing that you are American. Which means a failure to spot when someone is slightly tongue in cheek. Inevitably, you would inject the matter of race into the matter. How sad.
@richard dixon Thats not right bro
Stf up. Make your point and stop being an idiot.
She was 74 at the time of this performance and sang better than people half her age... So flawless!!!
74 yrs old youngins take notes
Just look how she sings with no effort. Amazing probably the best bond theme ever .
The best Bond theme from the Queen of Motown! Bravo!!!
The best and sexiest of ALL James Bond themes! WOW!!!
She is absolutely incredible. What a voice this lady has. Her voice is so powerful. Love her music 🎶.
The legendary Gladys still reigns strong. The bond theme's always radiated with class in the '60s up to 1995. This is my personal favourite, & Gladys backed by a phenomenal Orchestra & backing singers is a classy night out. Classy music today "No that just doesn't exist".
Up to '95? Including 'Goldeneye' or not? 🤔
Fantastic live performance, a superstar
The Empress of Soul in all her glory!
Word 🙌🏼
What a voice! We are blessed.
She's just a class act all the way around and on top of that a extraordinary talent. I'm totally in awe!!!!!
Sorry, but calling her a class act and an extraordinary talent is a MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT. But, there are no words in existence for how awesome she truly is.
@@drhacknslashzombietimelord6768 What's wrong according to your standards with the comment above?
Go ahead Gladys Knight and you look beautiful 🙏⭐
hyde Park was honored to be there. .unforgettable experience
I have met Gladys and my sister GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gladys looks and sounds great
Best Bond Theme Ever!!! Gives you chills!
Glagys, you are legend !! 👽🙆you are super !! -Moscow
Unbelievable that she sounds so good 30 years after first singing this, tremendous
Easily the best James Bond song
So underrated
Shocking how underrated it is! My theory is "critics" think it's a rip-off of the Goldfinger theme. She had to pay royalties to Shirley Bassey!I don't agree with that sentiment!
Gotta Give Gladys her props! Wish I was there to hear this LIVE. She's amazing! A ICON!
We need to really appreciate true legends like this because we shall never see or hear the likes again!
One of my favourite Bond themes. She still sounds amazing and nails every note of this. Awesome! I'd love to see her record another Bond theme, sadly it's more likely to be a "pop star" or "x factor winner" rather than a true artist like this.
not better than Tina Turner golden eye
@@Dino-su2wh I also love that one...I'd put both at the same level...both are 2 of the best Bond themes ever...indeed...
@Dante Whitley When nowadays pop stars have the talent/gift and humbleness she had in her day we'll reconsider those "nasty" comments about them...in the meantime they just don't and are getting worse by the day...sorry...
Listening to this March 2023.what a voice my favourite singers
The word classy is used here. A word that can't be used for anyone in the chart today this lady is pure class
Wow, beautiful beautiful song and the sound of the music an her voice wow just amazing
Gladys Knight, what a FORCE AND BEAUTY of nature!!! 💓💓💓
Great artist and a great voice, one of James Bond's favorite songs.
🌞 Pure class, outstanding 👏
Incredible, she still sounds great, and the orchestra.....true professional musicians.
One of the best James Bond songs ever
There’s just something about James Bond themes. This is one of my favorites. Haven’t seen a single film start to finish yet, but the songs are great.
There's 24, soon to be 25 to choose from! As a start, and these are not everyone's favorites but they are entertaining, for an older one I'd recommend "The Living Daylights", the film just before "License to Kill", with Timothy Dalton as Bond. Also, watch "Casino Royale", which a lot of die-hard fans rank near the top (Daniels Craig's first). That's barely scratching the surface, let us know what you think.
If you’ve listened to this, surely you should watch Licence To Kill?!?!
It’s a good one too!
That is so freaking smooth. Love her
Not a bond fan but always loved this tune,Beautiful music.
Best 007 theme,,amazing Gladys Knight and the big band ❤
That lady is 74 years old and the best, i saw her last month - she is in a class of her own. Incomparable
What a voice 😍
True A.O.E... (Angel - On - Earth)... thank you for all you have given.. 😍💋
omg i grew up listening to Gladys on Motown, i am tilting my hat to her and she still sounds as great as ever, welcome to the UK Gladys you dont realise how much Joy you gave to people with your singing, and with the Pips of course. i forgot to say, what a legend.
One hell of a singer, love from Bali
Gladys, you did have the opportunity to sing for James Bond 007 and we are grateful that you did!
Incredible to think this performance was 30 years after she originally recorded the record!.....and she'd been in the business for 25 years even back then!!
She has truly transcended time and fashion and become a true musical icon. True talent, pure class, and just a nice lady all round :-D
Best James Bond song hands down. Absolute Perfection. I love you Mrs. Gladys.
WE NEED MORE GLADYS!!!
She's touring just incase you didn't know ♥️🎶😊
never been a james bond fan but this is the best of all time at the right time of my life, the hot summer of 1989
just found this...So pleased to find her going strong.
THIS...... is THE very definition of STAR POWER!
Damn! She sounds good even now!! One of my favorite Bond songs!!
1989 my favorite bond !!!!
I am just watching the Bassist and will drop this later. Smooth playing
What an honour and a privilege for those musicians to play this song with her. Oh to have that as a memory in my brain.
She got a gift, and knows how to use it. Love her
Royalty 🤩
Gladys Knight : What a singer !!!!!! For please , excellent .!!!!!!!
Gladys Knight forever ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪 one of my eternal favourites! Legend.
"License To Kill" and "Skyfall" is my favorite Bond theme songs. IMO, both give vibe of epic saga to James Bond movies. It's amazing to see Gladys Knight still sing flawlessly after so many years.
Thank you, BBC! 🤗
greatness of orchestral soul, especially by Gladys Knight, now nearly three decades later still extraordinary in her performance of style and sound of her voice and all-time high in the pleasure of listening the pureness of music of rarely comparableness of her grandeur
Such a sweetie face, and the best ever voice in the world! ❤
Come on Ms. Gladys 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh Man... breathtaking...
This is not lip synched, this is just that good
Gladys ... No pierde Potencia en su Voz ... FANTASTICA
