Lani Hall
Lani Hall (born November 6, 1945) is an American singer, lyricist, author, and the wife of Herb Alpert. From 1966 to 1971 she performed as lead vocalist for Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66. In 1972 she released her first solo album Sundown Lady, but she may be best known for her rendition of the theme song to the 1983 James Bond film Never Say Never Again. In 1986 she was awarded her first Grammy Award for Es Fácil Amar as "Best Latin Pop Performance." After that year she largely retired, resurfacing in 1998 with the solo album Brasil Nativo. She has the distinction of recording over 22 albums in three different languages and has released three albums, Anything Goes, I Feel You and Steppin' Out, on which she performs alongside her husband Herb Alpert. She received her second Grammy Award in 2013 as producer for the album, Steppin' Out.
Music career
Her first public appearance occurred at The Centaur, a coffee house in Old Town, Chicago in 1965. She was heard by Brazilian pianist and bandleader Sérgio Mendes, who was on tour in Chicago. He first heard her perform at a benefit at Mother Blue's, another club in Old Town. His group, Brasil '65 was disbanding, and he invited Hall to come to Los Angeles to be the lead singer of his new project, Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66. She agreed, and six months later the group signed a contract with A&M Records.

Never Say Never Again
by: Lani HallYou walk in a room,
A woman can feel the heat.
One look is a guarantee
Nights could be long and sweet.
The message is clear
Like nothing I've ever known.
But the more that I hear,
Forget about long-range plans
'Cause this man's got his own.
To get mixed up with a man who says never
May be big trouble, but then
I just could be the woman to take you
And make you never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
Never, never say never again.
You've got all the moves.
Ah, but baby I've got them too.
No matter your attitude or your mood
I'll come through.
The touch of your voice.
The feel of your eyes on me.
You leave me no choice.
Though I know there's danger there
I don't care, let it be.
To get it bad with a man who says never
May have no future, but then
I just could be the woman to reach you
And teach you to never say never again.
I'll beg you.
I'll get you.
I'll reach you.
I'll teach you.
I'll take you.
I'll make you.
