Laura Branigan for james bond

A popular early 1980`s singer with a stunning voice, Branigan was a front runner to sing the theme song to Octopussy. Various news reports stated she had been signed to do the theme song, hot on the heels of her successful song, Gloria.

But Barbara Broccoli was a big fan of Rita Coolidge`s work and efforts to get her to do the theme song paid off with All Time High.
