THUNDERBALL _ TOM JONES

Thunderball is the soundtrack album for the fourth James Bond film Thunderball.
The album was first released by United Artists Records in 1965 in both monaural and stereo editions, with a CD release in 1988.[1] The music was composed and conducted by John Barry, and performed by the John Barry Orchestra. This was Barry's third soundtrack for the series. The soundtrack was still being recorded when it came time for the album to be released, so the LP only featured twelve tracks from earlier in the film; an expanded edition with six bonus tracks was released for the first time when the album was reissued on Compact Disc on 25 February 2003 as part of the "James Bond Remastered" collection. Additionally, the music in the film was unfinished days before the film's release in theatres due to a late change by Eon Productions to use a title song with the same name as the film.
John Barry teamed up with lyricist Don Black to write "Thunderball" which was sung by Tom Jones (who, according to Bond production legend, fainted in the recording booth while singing the song's final, high note). Jones said of the final note, "I closed my eyes and I held the note for so long when I opened my eyes the room was spinning." Like "Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", the lyrics of "Thunderball" are a description of Bond's character. - - - Wikipedia
Country musician Johnny Cash also submitted a song to EON productions titled "Thunderball" but it wasn't used. The lyrics of Cash's "Thunderball" describe the story of the film. - - - last.fm wiki
