The 1985 spy thriller A View To A Kill featuring Roger Moore as 007 is the 14th action flick in the series and the last time Moore played Bond. Wikipedia says this “Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor, a lifelong Bond fan, approached producer Albert Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked “When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?” The song was written by John Barry and Duran Duran who performed the song. A View To A Kill peaked the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and in the UK took number 2 on the Single’s Chart making it the best song in James Bond series.
In today’s battle, should you choose to accept the mission (yeah wrong movie), your task is to pick the best A View To A Kill cover artist for the song between the international music group Tape Five or British singer/songwriter, Skye Edwards.
