"Diamonds Are Forever", the title song, was the second James Bond theme to be performed by Shirley Bassey, after Goldfinger in 1964. Producer Harry Saltzman hated the song and it only made the film due to co-producer Cubby Broccoli. One of Saltzman's major objections was to the innuendo in the song. Bassey would later return for a third performance for 1979's Moonraker. The original soundtrack was once again composed by John Barry, his sixth time composing for a James Bond film.
