You know the name. You know the number. And, strangely enough, you recognize the songs. The James Bond-songs have been a fixture of our musical landscape for over fifty years, a distinct genre we've sometimes admired, sometimes smirked at. This book delves into these songs, tracing a secret history of pop and of ourselves as listeners.
