"The Look of Love" is a popular song. Since its first appearance in a 1960s James Bond film it has become synonymous with loungecore easy listening music.

The music was written by Burt Bacharach, and indeed, it was originally intended to be an instrumental. But later Hal David added the lyrics, and the song was published in 1967.

The song was sung by Dusty Springfield in the film Casino Royale, for which it was nominated for an Oscar. According to Bacharach, the melody was inspired by watching Ursula Andress in an early cut of the film. Springfield re-recorded the song the same year in London and released as the b-side of "Give Me Time"

Sergio Mendes' hit rendition on the Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 album Look Around, reached #4 on the pop charts after their performance in the Academy Awards telecast in March 1968. The lead vocal on this single was handled by Janis Hansen, not Lani Hall, a rarity in the early Brasil '66 canon.

The song reappeared in the 1997 Bond-era spoof Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery." -wiki
