    Didn't Paul Williams, who wrote the music, sing most of the songs?

      I just guessed given his place of birth..

        Possibly, Wiki claims it was because they were delivered too late, so the recordings by Williams (and other singers) had to be used.

                Would have been dubbed for "Four Weddings..." surely?

                  It's the real name for Notts County's ground.

                    Back on topic, I kicked the thread of with a reference to how the first lead Bond girl Ursula Andress was voice-dubbed in Dr No by Nikki Van der Zyl (for the non-singing bits - ian.64 has since pointed out that Diana Coupland sang as her in the film). I've just discovered that the second lead Bond girl, Daniela Bianchi (playing Soviet clerk Tatiana Romanova) was voice-dubbed in From Russia with Love by Barbara Jefford. Nikki VdZ still got a gig on FRWL, though, as character Sylvia Trench reappears in that film and that's hers for dubbing.

                    As you might have deduced, I'm working my way through a Bond DVD collection at the rate of a film a week or so, in strict chronological order. Work and family responsibilities prevent me from doing a weekend-long Bond binge, Alan Partridge-style. Don't spoil the suspense by telling me who the first Bond girl was to have her own voice in her film.

                        SMERSHPod's run out of Bond. It's all Michael Caine now.
