Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only

'For Your Eyes Only' is the theme tune to the 12th James Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only, written by Bill Conti and Mick Leeson, and performed by Scottish singer Sheena Easton. It was nominated for Best Song at the Academy Awards in 1982.

The American new wave band Blondie wrote a song entitled 'For Your Eyes Only' in the hopes of making it the upcoming James Bond film's opening-title theme. The producers preferred another song with the same title, written by Bill Conti and Mike Leeson. Blondie turned down an offer to record Conti and Leeson's song. (The band later included their 'For Your Eyes Only' song on the 1982 album The Hunter.)

Sheena Easton was keen to accept the offer to perform Conti and Leeson's song for the film. She had recently scored a No.1 hit in America with 'Morning Train' and was becoming a big name throughout the world.

Easton is the only artist to be seen singing the theme song to a Bond movie during its opening titles. Her seductive appearance in these clips was, according to Roger Moore, more sexy than any of the Bond girls, although Easton herself states that the filming process was very unglamorous. Easton is one of three Scots to have sung a Bond theme, the others being Lulu's singing 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and Shirley Manson (as part of the band Garbage) for 'The World Is Not Enough'.

The single became a would wide hit making it to number 8 in the UK Singles Chart, number 4 in the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 in the Swiss Chart.

The video 'For Your Eyes Only' was directed by Steve Barron.
