"Diamonds Are Forever" was the second James Bond theme to be performed by Shirley Bassey, after "Goldfinger" in 1964. Bassey would later return for a third performance for 1979's "Moonraker". The original soundtrack was once again composed by John Barry. This was the sixth time he had composed music for a James Bond film. Bond producer Harry Saltzman reportedly hated the song because he felt the lyrics (written by lyricist Don Black) were "too dirty." The title song was later sampled by Chicago rapper Kanye West for a single titled "Diamonds from Sierra Leone."
