Amy Winehouse could become a Bond Girl despite her death after recording a number of secret tracks.

To have one of her songs used in the next film would be the perfect memorial to her." Winehouse did work with the producer Mark Ronson on a track called Mission of Solace in 2008 that they hoped would be the title track for the flick A Quantum of Solace but the star didn't complete the studio time for the song.
