`Goldfinger` and `Nobody Does It Better` make AFI`s Top 100 movie songs of all time list

23-Jun-2004 • Bond News

The American Film Institute (AFI) revealed the top movie songs of all time in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs three-hour special television event hosted by John Travolta.

James Bond films were represented in the final Top 100 with Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger" at #53, and Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" (from "The Spy Who Loved Me") at #67.

"Live And Let Die" and "For Your Eyes Only" were among the nomination list of 400 songs, but failed to make the Top 100.

In the venerated #1 spot was Judy Garland's soulful and iconic rendition of Over the Rainbow from the beloved family classic, THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Nabbing the rest of the top spots were classics of every kind-from timeless favorites of yesteryear to contemporary tunes-including As Time Goes By (CASABLANCA), Singin' In The Rain (SINGIN' IN THE RAIN), Moon River (BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S), White Christmas (HOLIDAY INN/WHITE CHRISTMAS), Mrs. Robinson (THE GRADUATE), When You Wish Upon a Star (PINOCCHIO), The Way We Were (THE WAY WE WERE), Stayin' Alive (SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER) and The Sound of Music (THE SOUND OF MUSIC).
