Editing George Martin (section)

===Music from the James Bond series===
Martin directly and indirectly contributed to the main themes of three films in the [[James Bond]] series. Although Martin did not produce the theme for the second Bond film, ''[[From Russia with Love (film)|From Russia with Love]]'', he was responsible for the signing of [[Matt Monro]] to EMI, just months prior to his recording of the song of the same title.<ref>[http://www.eastlondonhistory.com/norman%20newell.htm Andrews Sisters, Ann Shelton, Matt Monro—bottom of page] eastlondonhistory.com.

Martin also produced two of the best-known James Bond themes. The first was "[[Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey song)|Goldfinger]]" by [[Shirley Bassey]] in 1964.<ref>[http://www.georgemartin.co.uk/cdfour.html Track listing for George Martin compilation on his official site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071216103201/http://www.georgemartin.co.uk/cdfour.html |date=16 December 2007}} georgemartin.co.uk.
