Or, to be more precise, every singer who has sung a James Bond theme song over the opening credits of a James Bond movie is still alive. Two Bond-related singers — Matt Monro of From Russia with Love (1963) and Louis Armstrong of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) — died years ago, but their songs appeared at other, later points in the film and not over the opening credits.
More such trivia here. (Only two of these vocalists — one male and one female — were born after the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, premiered in October 1962. Can you guess who they were?)
Yes, this is how I kill time after the kids have gone to sleep.
