Mike Redway - Have No Fear, Bond Is Here
Mike Redway is one of the truly great vocalists. Having been a backing singer for years, he successfully made the transition to solo artist, proving what a talented singer-songwriter he is. He even deputised for Sinatra on a Tony Hatch produced recording which sadly never saw the light of day - such a shame, his vocals were every bit as good as Frank's.
Few will know that, along with the likes of Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones, Mike was vocalist on a James Bond theme - he was the singer on the vocal of the original "Casino Royale" theme tune. Not only was this written by the legendary Burt Bacharach, but Bacharach also conducted the session too! While the orchestral theme by Herb Alpert and Dusty Springfield's "Look of Love" are recognised as modern classics, incredibly Mike did not even get a credit for his superb vocal recording.
