Who wrote and performed the title song for the James Bond film Live and Let Die?

Paul McCartney wrote and performed the title song for the James Bond film Live and Let Die.

The song was recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings for the 1973 film. It was produced by George Martin, who also composed the movie’s instrumental score. The recording combines a gentle opening with sudden orchestral and rock changes, making it one of the most musically dramatic Bond themes.

“Live and Let Die” became a major commercial success and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was the first Bond theme performed by a former member of the Beatles. The song is sometimes confused with later cover versions, especially Guns N’ Roses’ 1991 recording, but the original film performance is credited to Paul McCartney and Wings.
