Thanks for popping by to participate in the next Battle of the Bands in my James Bond Theme Song series. From this point forward I don’t have a good sense about the films or the music. In 2006, Casino Royale was the 21st James Bond spy thriller flick starring a brand new 007, Daniel Craig. I recall the film title and we did eventually see it but I couldn’t remember the theme song until I heard it again. Chris Cornell was the original recording artist You Know My Name. The song did better in Europe than in the states, peaked #2 (Danish Single Chart), #3 (Finnish Single Chart), #4 (Italian Single Chart), #7 (UK Single Chart) and #79 (US Billboard Hot 100).
The available covers of this Eon film production theme song is limited on both of my favorite Internet sources. In this round, I went with female vocalists, the first is a pure acoustic rendition and the second is an edgier rock vibe. I now invite you to listen to both covers to decide which version you like the best.
Contender #1 Vinyl Hotel
Contender #1 Liza Summer

My plan is to return next week same time with the results of this battle but I have final preparations to make before our vacation and this might slip my mind. Internet fun has taken a hard hit since spring. However, I 100% am ready for the Sunday edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me, so come join the party. We’ll be boogieing to songs about school. I hope you’ll decided to join the fun. Have a great holiday weekend! X💋X💋, Cathy
