That one sounds more like a polished, finished product than the one I posted. Better, but still not as good as Sheena's.

I suppose it wouldnt have been a hard decisions if Easton looked like one of the Andrews sisters.

It feels soothing and romantic.

Nice one, thanks for that. I'm a Blondie fan for sure, but I gotta say that Sheena's title song is right up there with the best of Bond theme songs, and as a Bond nut I wouldn't change it for the world!
