The single version of "Goldfinger," sung by "Dame" Shirley Bassey and written and arranged powerfully by John Barry, came out in Spring 1965 and quickly went to #1 in many places. I didn't like the movie version that much, but this version blew me and everyone else away. But now it's very difficult to find this version. I posted it on you tube and it's been blocked. I don't know if it still is, but I can post it here. It's another 1965 song with one of the best climaxes ever; and it's not heard on the album/soundtrack version. She really brings it, and she's still going strong as of 2016.
