Goldfinger is by far the best vocal performance in a Bond film.

A View to a Kill would be my second choice.

I do enjoy Live and Let Die, of course, but it doesn't have the kind of intensity that the other two have.

I largely agree with Duk. That said, the chorus of Skyfall is classic Bond. It's one of the best of the modern era of Bond themes.

Also, as far as Live and Let Die, the jazz funeral opening is still one of my favorite Bond film starts ---



-- something about how surrealist and unrealistic that actually makes it seem even more realistic.

.. and I thought you hated the Beatles, lol.

Honestly, I do enjoy Live and Let Die. Just don't think it's objectively great.

A View to a Kill. There is not even a close second.
