Duran Duran, who recorded the theme song to 1985 James Bond film 'A View To A Kill' of course, would like to reprise that role and simultaneously collaborate with Mark Ronson. Nick Rhodes told The Mirror: "We'd love to collaborate with Mark on a single for the next Bond film... With him we may even surpass 'A View To A Kill'".
I'm not quite sure when Mark Ronson became perceived as being the key to writing a Bond theme. It didn't work for Amy Winehouse, did it? They want to work with Shirley Bassey if they're to be in with in any real chance. She is the only artist to record more than one Bond theme. In fact, she has three under her belt, 'Goldfinger', 'Moonraker' and 'Diamonds Are Forever'.
