A View to a Kill is the soundtrack for the film of the same name, the 14th installment in the James Bond film series.
The theme song A View to a Kill, was written by John Barry and Duran Duran, and was recorded in London with a 60-piece orchestra. A View to a Kill is the most successful Bond theme to date. In 1986 Barry and Duran Duran were nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
Duran Duran was chosen to do the song after bassist John Taylor (a lifelong Bond fan) approached producer Cubby Broccoli at a party, and somewhat drunkenly asked “When are you going to get someone decent to do one of your theme songs?”
