James Bond ~ The Pretenders ~ If There Was A Man

[@P54cause]

Your work is greatly appreciated Collins. You Tube needs to be replaced with a site that does not have its collected head up its ass!!

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

I think it's maybe a band member in the group who does not get royalties or something from it, but EON does, so there bitter and do not want the song to be shared, thanks for nice comment!

[@historiaculturaespiritualidade]

This is one of the best James Bond movies. Dalton and Lazemby's performance was underrated due to the cult of fans to Sean Connery and Roger Moore. The closing music of this film played by The Pretenders & Chrisse Hynde "If There Was A Man" is beautiful.

[@ricardagottschalk9089]

Sean Connery is the best Bond for me😎

[@jamesbell1613]

The cult fans of Daniel Craig are the worst.

[@richwood1522]

If only Lazenby had stayed. Roger Moore was iconic. Roger Moore and Pierce Bronson, looked best in suits.

[@grahamcook9289]

Roger Moore stank as Bond in particular and as an actor in general. He was the definition of wooden acting. Lazenby wasn't an actor, but got away with it as OHMSS is easily far and away the best Bond film from story, to supporting cast and music.

[@tomfennell2039]

One of the greatest bond song's ever written.

[@holyspiritfilling]

Very cool song indeed...

[@paulstone8175]

Dalton was the classic bond

[@roccosophie6498]

Hollywood absolutely dropped the ball on this one. Dalton is a man among men.

[@charlotteconchon9540]

Bond IS dalton bruh

[@edgarchagas8995]

Dalton was just that man!

[@THEJUKE777]

My heart aches for just one more day to spend back in the 80s!

[@peggycorbin8525]

Me too, just one more day.

[@holyspiritfilling]

Cool song indeed..hang in there...

[@tonydoherty2190]

The past is a foreign land

[@Tpl087]

If I could travel time, I'd love to go back to the 80s. . . I was very young, but it seemed like a cool decade of great music and movies.

[@VEGASMYWAY]

My heart bleeds for that what a great comment

[@davidrowell4110]

The BEST Bond song - it sums him up; lonely, sad, beautiful. Bond's 'facade' was 'martinis, girls, guns and cars'. It made for entertaining scenes, but at his core, Bond was a contract spy & killer with a cold demeanour. He lived a dangerous, transient life with no permanent ties. This song best reflects his real emptiness and sadness. Dalton delivered Fleming's vision well, perhaps too well. Barry's melody is majestic, haunting and nostalgic. Chrissie's vocal is emotional and compelling, its lyrics relating the inner sadness of the character. It's not a 'hot top 40' pop song; no, it's just the truth.

[@reginascruggs3326]

Good summary.

[@verilyheld]

I rather feel that Dalton's Bond is the most compassionate Bond.

[@CL-do3kq]

@@verilyheld yes he was - an interesting mix - maybe ahead of his time?

[@JOPAGalvin]

Brief, insightful and accurate take on the song and on Bond.

[@jamesbell1613]

His wife being killed right after getting married will do that too.

[@Vcansado]

For me Timothy Dalton is the definitive Bond. Amazing song ! Thank you!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

Timothy Dalton was so rugged and handsome and so *007* AF. P.S. What a shame we could only see him twice as Bond.

[@DaddyDrummer007]

I think Dalton was the best.

[@my-YT-account]

B cause : you only live twice

[@everettsager4654]

Totally agree. I heard the had a third Bond written for him called Property of a Lady but it never happened due to the studios having legal issues.

[@holyspiritfilling]

He was a good Bond.. Living Daylights was a great movie... unfortunately Licence to Kill was not maybe that is what did it?...

[@sheilar740]

Have you seen him in Wuthering Heights? He’s drop dead gorgeous in that and WHAT A STORY!!!

[@everettsager4654]

There is something magical about this movie. I can't quite place what it is but its there.

[@thomasmartin1479]

The most romantic Bond movie. Every time I visit Vienna, the song is in my head.

[@stevew1669]

Absolutely agree. This bond movie was pure alchemy. Everything is perfect. So human, touching to the depths. Real people.

[@Hi_Chew]

The most romantic 007!

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

Agree and it's so ironic because he was so rugged.

[@markdowse3572]

TIM DALTON was the BEST BOND ever! No cheap stunts. No shitty, flimsy treatment of women. RESPECT. DUTY. True to Ian Fleming's books. Daniel Craig has saved JAMES BOND.

[@rick381v69]

He was the Bond of the Ian Fleming books, that's for sure. So under appreciated.

[@Fornax2008]

Timothy Dalton without a doubt my favorite Bond.

[@siviiiiiii1741]

Remember when I first got into Bond films. I was a little older than 10. I swear this song has been stuck in my head for more than 11 years. Any time I see Tim, it just starts playing. I wish he did more movies. He was my ultimate favorite. Sigh

[@samarin45]

Under rated of the Bond sound tracks. Pretenders rock. Sounds like a dream....

[@aspawi6742]

Nice song , nice movie , what an awesome Bond , Timothy Dalton.

[@Tpl087]

An era gone and lost forever. The 80s Bond movies were exciting, magical and most importantly still had great soundtracks.

[@moh2502]

What a fantastic song to compliment a great movie

[@Darvada]

The Best song of all Bond Movies , in my opinion

[@paul-hutt.3686]

💚 Crissie Hynde brilliant songs... I'm a huge Bond fan too.

[@chanchoman90]

Shirley Bassey, KD Lang, Gladys Knight, Carly Simon and Chrisse Hynde were the best female performers of bond's saga

[@peterjones8335]

I thought that Dalton was great, so did my sister. I don't know why he doesn't get any wider recognition.

[@markb9488]

My favourite Bond theme by far....Chrissie absolutely nails it on the vocals!

[@ASch-yy1xh]

Wonderful Song👍.. My Time travel to the 80's..over and over again..

[@tonydoherty2190]

This is the best song nobody does it better

[@Tai91827]

Listening in June 2024. One of the best Bond soundtracks ever.

[@JohnkMaxwell]

Well done. Thank You.

[@brucesmith4436]

BEST BOND. EVER. Best song too!

[@laszloormos6712]

GREAT SONG / MUSIC

[@jemini48]

I liked Dalton a lot, esp in this one. the song was great. Krysy Hyde was always good, but this was her best. the piano just took you a way on a dream, a dream of that romance and love that we all want to last forever.

[@richwood1522]

Great theme...well done.

[@Darvada]

Awesome song and video

[@marcrobinson8223]

Awesome all round

[@Gingercat12317]

He will always be my favorite Bond 💕

[@thomasbelisle6093]

Always love this song.if I had ever had gotten married. This would be the song I dance to with my bride. I am surprised it never gotten much air time when the 1987 bond film came out. A nice love song.

[@thomasbelisle6093]

Who cares.I still like this bond film.

[@rhythman69uk]

Yes, it got buried for some reason. Brilliant.

[@patdoor3700]

Yes Thomas Belisle, I too would pick this song to dance to with my Bride. Good choice.

[@thomasbelisle6093]

Pat Door yes it's a nice love song.

[@tmmartinesq.6216]

This song was so sexy and romantic at the same time and really epitomized Dalton in this particular 007 role. P.S. You may as yet get married, Thomas! *Best Wishes!*

[@rasstor]

That is brilliant video ! The living dayslight is the best move of Bond ever made !

[@井上香里-j7o]

品の良いティモシーと女優さん。 そしてラストに流れる名曲❤ 何故、映画の最中に流れなかったの？と思われる名曲を更に引き立てる 映像編集😍 ただただ素晴らしい🥹😭

[@naturharmonie8920]

Best Bond ever 👍💪

[@holyspiritfilling]

It was a very good Bond indeed!

[@annshr9917]

Thank you for posting this beautiful video. Gosh, Timothy Dalton looked so gorgeous here. Too bad he has grown old like everybody else and he no longer looks as good as he did here. But nonetheless still my big crush.

[@KimBailey-w2g]

Mine, too did you see him in Yellowstone? You can still make me swoon

[@Hanssupansnow]

Best Bond movie, Timothy Dalton best Ian Flemings James Bond this series ever had.

[@valuecalc]

I wish that Dalton could have been 007 more than just twice. "You only live... Twice," then?

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

Imagine if he did Goldeneye?

[@valuecalc]

I'd have liked that very much.

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

thanks friend, bye for now!

[@valuecalc]

Yes. Good night.

[@DTREsizzurrup420]

A yo what's good, Hood?! I agree. Perhaps A View To A Kill and GoldenEye would have been fair for Timothy Dalton's 007 portfolio. Really though, truly yo!

[@CL-do3kq]

Thank you, Colin - this is beautiful.

[@井上香里-j7o]

何十回観ても、天才的な編集🤩 貴方はプロ？としか思えないです☺️👍 プロフェッショナル❤️

[@StefanGratz-ol9kk]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love this Song.

[@dominiquetorres2130]

J adore la chanson et Timothy Dalton il a un charme fou😍😍😍😘

[@emgarlick2940]

Just smooth and beautiful, been haunting me since the 80s. Other excellent one is Patti la belle If you ask me to, end of license to kill!!

[@antonboludo8886]

I liked this movie. I saw it in the theatres when it came out.

[@calvindusava5912]

Song just fits with the movie

[@forgogeorge9806]

Good job " Collins Bravo 👏👈excellent video 📹.

[@robertobarrale8900]

Bellissima. Una delle migliori canzoni per 007 a parte quelle per Roger moore

[@grantubl7297]

She has a wonderful voice.

[@kentchin2249]

Chrissie Hynde's beautiful song

[@honeysucklesastronomytours2004]

This is a great compilation!

[@c.d.7742]

Nice to see Chrissie singing. CD

[@tomfennell2039]

Great song

[@dontony51]

Thank you for this up load. I love this song.

[@RonaldLall]

That was magical

[@brownjimmy5731]

Masterpiece!

[@serchaidez]

I've watched this Bond movie several times before and just really followed this nice nice song by the Pretenders! I'm glad you set it up in this format to the movie 🎥 Great work😊👌

[@HelloDaves]

Nice to hear a slightly different variation on that beautiful song to go along with a great video.

[@jimmoore6116]

Timothy Dalton was great as Bond and the plots were actually believable mind you after saying that we now have Covid-19 and Build back better lol.

[@billmurray7473]

When Bond Got His Groove Back.

[@amitkumarghoshjames1578]

You have done a great job my friend. ...👍

[@aramistuscany]

One of my favourite Bond theme. So much better than the one by A-ha which they picked for the main theme for this Bond movie. My other favourite is Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight.

[@DM-co3rh]

Nicely done! Love the song, the movie and Dalton as 007! Your video is arguably better than the one The Pretenders put together for this song! :)

[@shantu100]

Great video - Dalton made a great Bond!

[@rick381v69]

Timothy Dalton was the closest Bond to the original Ian Fleming books.

[@Sand_Tigger]

Very good, thank you.

[@ahmedhumayunrasheed2434]

Great work!

[@Intechdude300]

Not my favorite Bond but still played a great Bond. Would have liked to see him play at least 2 more Bonds. Same for Brosnan

[@jeronimodelfino8450]

Quando escuto esta música sinto uma tristeza crescente no meu coração ,pois ela me remete a um passado distante e feliz mas ao mesmo tempo me mostra que o tempo passou para mim ,agora só resta saudades de uma juventude passada,pinto que lembra esta bela música.

[@charless.sturdivant]

This is Good.

[@wolvesprowl1]

Dalton got screwed out of making more Bond films

[@gooseisacat]

I believe Peirce Brosnan had the role, but couldn't get out of contract until season end of Remington Steele, so suggested they let Timothy Dalton step in, and he would then do the next film. As things went, Pierce's wife came down with cancer, and he ended up spending his time with her until losing her, and so again Timothy stepped into the role, to keep the contract for him, but from what I've read, Dalton didn't want the role, and felt it would restrict his carreer, only stepping in to help Peirce Brosnan keep the contract, as he was the one that really wanted it.

[@ThatBondGuy62]

Tom Cahill it is a shame we didn't get to see a 1991 Dalton film due to MGM's financial issues I believe that goldeneye was written for Dalton but he turned down the role

[@roccosophie6498]

You did a nice job, here. Thank you.

[@tonydoherty2190]

It is the best bond song by miles

[@egiptomisticokarygatto8486]

Congratulations, great job ! God bless you ...

[@mark60123]

Great music video with wise choice of footage and good editing. Very well done. Thank you very much for making this available. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

Makes sharing my videos worthwhile when they get appreciated, yeah i tried to edit clips that were appropriate with the sond to make the video work, please check out my OTHER BOND VIDEO'S ALSO!

[@Mr17051963]

In fact, this great song was used at the end credits. ♥️✌️

Uma das musicas mais lindas dos Pretenders....Vale a pena, a musica e filme

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

Obrigado pelas palavras gentis no meu vídeo!

[@travistheman607]

Colin this is so much better than the original!! Thank you for the better audio and visual takes from the movie you are are true professional in the genre!!

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

What a nice compliment Travis, as a fan of the James Bond films I wanted it to be as cool as I could make it, if you have a passion for something and take time ( editing this etc ) it should eventually work out pretty good, so I am pleased with it ( just a shame i had to use other audio )

[@James-C24]

Is it just my ears or does this version seem a bit more soft and romantic than other versions?

[@phakada3787]

Yes, also sounds slower for me

[@robertobarrale8900]

Che nostalgia anni 80 😥😥😥

[@euphrates556]

Classic!

[@colincollins-topvideos8110]

I think so too, thanks!

[@germanwittgenstein4974]

GREAT DALTON IN GIBRALTAR AND BERLIN WALL 1990. DON GERMAN THE GODFATHER 2020

[@priscillamartins4394]

Adoro esse filme...❤️ Meu preferido! 🥰

[@jeronimodelfino8450]

Bela música do tema de maio um filme James Bond , melancolicamente bela

[@christhornycroft3686]

Honestly, if they were going with the revenge plot for License to Kill, bringing back The Pretenders to do the theme would have made a lot more sense than getting a gospel/soul singer to sing a ballad that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. I know artists are one and done in the Bond franchise, but they could have made an exception for LTC. It have been a total 80s dark hard rock banger with a rising, tragic yet angry guitar solo, but instead they went with something completely out of left field. Gladys Knight is a great singer, but she would have fit Roger Moore's personality more than Dalton's. The song doesn't fit the tone of the movie at all, and that's a fatal flaw of some Bond films - tonal inconsistency. But The Pretenders was a perfect choice for James Bond. When I think of the music of the franchise, I think of the early themes, Paul McCartney, and the Pretenders.

[@JorgeReyes-bo9uz]

Nice

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

It's such a shame that The Pretenders have never performed this live.

[@anthonybarbosa5522]

I was a junior in HS when this came out. My GF at the time sang this song to me. Then she broke up with me. Way out of my league she was. Still think about that. 😊

[@perrinspychala4726]

Plays over the closing titles.
