Paul McCartney wants Amy Winehouse to sing the new Bond theme tune
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has revealed he wants Amy Winehouse to sing the theme tune for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
McCartney - who sang the title track for hit 1973 Bond film 'Live and Let Die,' starring as Roger Moore as the suave spy - thinks the troubled 'Rehab' star has the perfect voice for a theme song, and offered some advice to her.
He said: "I think Amy Winehouse would be really good, and I think she would do a really good job. My advice to her would be not to try and rhyme 'Solace' with anything - that's too hard."
McCartney, 65, also said that despite being behind one of the most popular Bond tunes of all time - written by himself and his late wife Linda - he insists he wouldn't want to have the responsibility again.
He added: "I definitely wouldn't do it again. I have been trying to think of something to rhyme with 'Solace' and all I can come up with is 'Wallace'! I don't envy whoever is going to do the song!"
Other singers who have recorded a 007 theme tune include, Duran Duran, Nancy Sinatra, Tina Turner, Carly Simon, Sheena Easton, Sheryl Crow, Tom Jones and Lulu.

Nice to see Macca offering a
Nice to see Macca offering a bit of support to Amy. So many people do this phenomenally talented, though damaged, woman down and few appreciate just how gifted she really is. I really like her and it would be great if she sang the new Bond theme tune, although I seem to recall reading somewhere that Leona Lewis might do it..?
