LITTLE WING: A TRIBUTE TO JIMMY McCULLOCH

- Video highlights of Jimmy McCulloch's career as a member of Thunderclap Newman, Stone The Crows, Wings and the Small Faces.
Coming soon... 'Little Wing: The Jimmy McCulloch Story'... an autobiography by Paul Salley.
He was my school classmate 1966-1969. Very quiet, came back from a Decca audition in London with his brother's band One in a Million, we saw photos of him meeting the Stones. Impressed. A cut single was terrible tosh but in 1969 there he was with Thunderclap Newman with one of the top singles of the 60s. Yes, one hit wonder but cracking. Then Wings in mid 70s. If he hadn't joined them we'd still have him around. It opened doors, big doors. McCartney could handle that stuff easily, Jimmy couldn't. Jimmy is the only guy to have stand alone compositions on any Beatle & Solo album & Paul doesn't do that & allowed him to perform it. A great honour & must have earned a few million now in composition rights. Nice knowing you Jimmy.
Thanks for all the lifted info everyone already knows, Genius
@@Oh_I_Will Don't be so hard on him it could be true.
That was lovely to read👌🤗♥️
I saw him the end of 1966 in Wishaw when he played with one in a million.
He wasn’t the only one to have a stand alone composition Denny Laine did as well, although Jimmy was the first as Denny’s before then where written with Paul.
I didn't know nothing about Jimmy until i was watching the repair shop on tv when his relation came on to have his Platinum Discs cleaned up. I googled him straight away and found him here on RUclips. It broke my heart, but also filled me with so much pride finding out he was one of us [Scottish] and from my home city of Glasgow playing in one of if not the BIGGEST bands on the planet alongside One of the Biggest musicians on the planet. Yet he was so COOL and took it all in his stride when once asked how it felt to be playing along side a music legend, Paul Mc.Cartney. His reply was, nothing really, i just go out there and do my stuff and let the crowd see what i can do..... Great answer.!!! So pleased i found him as i'll never forget "WEE JIMMY" and he was only 5 years older than myself. But what makes it even more special is, that BAND ON THE RUN was the first album i ever bought and i still have it, but knew nothing about jimmy being the lead guitarist.. It's even more special to me now. Keep rockin up there wee man. 🎸🎸♥
A bittersweet story, didn't even make it to the 27 club. I'm fortunate to own one of his guitars given to him while with Wings.
Great you have Ken Tamplin,Sammy Hagar's cousin
Jimmy McCulloughs guitar playing is eternally fabulous...great feel and vibrato, great tone, truly one of the finest..RIP Jimmy and thanks for the great music
Why does it always come down to drugs and comments about him and drugs. He was so much more than that. in my very humble opinion we should be celebrating what he achieved in his short life and not dwelling on his untimely death. Jimmy McCulloch was a genius.
true but he was full of pain and had his demons like the rest of us...what a shame his death was..someone should of helped and did an intervention...what fair weather friends the McCartney and that wife he had were....Denny tooo...stop glorifying these people.....we need to talk about and know how and why Jimmy died....there is nothing wrong with it...he was human just like the rest of us...a shame he never bothered to get married and have children what a gorgeous man ..just like his Brother Jack...
@@annaleonardi6299 With the greatest respect stop talking pure pish.
@@scrumtiouslyfair9509 exactly…the being “in pain” is such a lame excuse for the choices addicts make
@@Oh_I_Will Apparently you haven't been in enough pain to find out, lucky you I hope you never find out..
@@annaleonardi6299 McCartney and that wife of his ? Shame on you from everything ive read she was a great wife and mother . im trying to be nice hear but what a Bitch you are the poor lady died of breast cancer shame on you !!!
I still cannot believe he was only 23 and the lead guitarist of Paul McCartney's wings.UNBELIEVABLE.
Geoffrey Coulson George Harrison was 20 when The Beatles were on Ed Sulliivan
@@toothbrush5190 good point.
@@toothbrush5190 ahhh but he wasn't in Wings & sure could have auditioned for it. Paul "George or Jimmy, George or Jimmy" hmmmm..
@@toothbrush5190 Jimmy was barely 16 when he joined Thunder.New. in '69. He was my classmate & like me left at 15, I joined UK Armed Forces & there's me enjoying Thunderclap & not seeing them on any media & then on tv boosh💥 I saw them & Jimmy. Gob-smacked. Same again with Wings. Very impressed. Doing heavy drugs stupid boy.
@@toothbrush5190 and ? being the Lead guitarist of an ex Beatle is more impressive..although i love George too.
I love his song Medicine Jar it's really good .RIP Jimmy C.
Great talent, taken waaaaay before his time. R. I. P.
Nice to see some footage of him playing with Stone The Crows. Amazingly talented young man. RIP Jimmy.
A thunderous clap for this new young Jimmy who later became a Man of Legend
Jimmy McCulloch was a famous and talented guitarist 🎸👌. A promising musical life got off to a great start and he entered the history of world music forever with The Thunderclap Newman and later got a big chance with The Wings and Paul McCartney, but here something went wrong in his life and his star gradually faded until it ended in tragedy. That's a big shame. 😔
😘😢Forever in our hearts Jimmy McCulloch... along with my husbandLouie😅 ScottWeiland and as of recent Chris Cornell. Nothing but 💘 Love....
Jimmy was gorgeous his Brother Jack was too...however like in many photos and shows and interviews JIMMY IS HIGH AS FUCK HERE....I must say he always looked sexy high....
**DON'T WORRY, I PROMISE, YOU "WILL" SEE + BE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON, MY FRIEND!! **IN "OUR" HEAVENLY FATHER'S KINGDOM!! TRUST ME,
His soloing in 'Junior's Farm' and 'Maybe I'm Amazed' was just brilliant. He also played on my all time favourite record, 'Something in the Air', when he was only 16. I remember Jimmy's talent very fondly. Absolutely tragic what happened to him. RIP Jimmy.
His playing in everything is amazing!! :D So awesome that you remember him! Ever see him play live? Now THAT would have been something of a VERY fond memory!! :D
Amen and he was gorgeous like his Brother Jack NO one seemed to help Jimmy nor have him sent to rehab this is a disgrace;;;;Money does NOT bring true happiness God bless his soul and his family....God bless you and yours
He wasn't ready for the Big Doors that McCartney's wake opened. He'd still be with us otherwise health permitting & I'd be able to say "Jimmy, not seen you since our school days mate.." & he'd be playing in a Beatles tribute band & we'd catch up.. Nice knowing you Jimmy.
@@seltaeb3302 McCartney should've tried to help Jimmy. I've often wondered what went wrong with their Wings relationship. Poor, poor boy.
@@HaFannyHa what did MACCA do or not do to help? When one threatens one’s life while under the influence, I wonder how motivated anyone would be to correct what Jimmy wasn’t interested in removing from his life
RIP JIMMY....you are loved and missed...
What a talent, thankfully I saw Wings at the cow Palace in Frisco....to this day out of hundreds of shows Wings was definitely top 5. RIP Jimmy.......
KNEW THE GUYS IN AWB
THEY SAID JIMMY WAS A FANTASTIC
GUITARIST.!!
RIP JIMMY MAC.
Jimmy McCullough bio
Thank You So Much Mark for posting this Amazing Picture Video, for our viewing pleasure! "Something in the Air" is a perfect song to go along for the ride........Again, TYVM
His solo on maybe I’m
Amazed live is incredible and Beto has it in his top lead breaks of all time. I was luck to see Wings in 76 and 79 and Jimmy was awesome..
He was a great guitarist. and singer.
Kid was genius on guitar & super vocals . I think Paul shout have seen the drug problem & stepped in & helped him. Not blaming Paul, he just should’ve seen it & helped
he breaks my heart at 4:29
He looks mad with it . Real shame
Mine as well
Why does it at 4.29? He is a legend hands down....
Greetings from Texas I was only 14 yrs of age when Jimmy Passed away I think I understand why now you commented at tha tpoint ..someone had commented in the video to the song which is in another video that Jimmy looked like he was under the influence of opiates here,,,,where was Paul n band/ what about his beloved Brother Jack and his parents/ why on earth didn't anyone send him to rehab? this is very sad to watch so are other clips of Jimmy in other videos...He was gorgeous such a shame such a great loss God bless his soul and his family
Greetings from Texas...furthermore this last band he was in..they were no help to Jimmy and just kept suppling him with drink and drugs...this is a disgrace.....
jimmy mcCULLOCH a great picker!
A gentleman. He left a big hole for a little wing.
Jimmy worked hard at making guitar playing look easy.
Take me down Jimmy! !!
Medicine Jar ... maybe he should have listened. ✌️
Jimmy made playing guitar so easy.
I tried for years to get my guitar to sound like that, but never could.
I remember him kickin ass with original Jesus Christ Superstar
Live at Pasadena opera house and in Hawaii
Joe Cocker mad dogs and Englishman
Жаль талантливого пацана,рано ушёл,видимо, помогли.
Una promesa de excelente guitarrista que cae en manos de la droga, un ejemplo más de ese ambiente negativo musical, o las malas compañías?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
To me, he was an angel. I've always wondered : Why did Jimmy leave Wings ? Pour moi, il fut un ange. Je me suis toujours demandé : Pourquoi Jimmy a-t-il quitté les Wings ?
Why…addict mean anything to you
@@Oh_I_Will : I know he was addict. So why so much aggressiveness? Are you unable to give an answer without getting upset ?
@woolton6385 Always someone trying to throw dirt maybe they'll be blowback
@@chuckyoneill9029 : It's true that my initial question was a little clumsy, especially since I know the story of Jimmy and his addiction. I had asked this question to generate exchanges in order to go further in our reflection on Jimmy whom we all love. Thank you for understanding and thank you for your comment.
@eppomanta Everyone is affected by someone they love and Jimmy is no different than you and i,thank you.
There not made but born..
Looked a bit like David Cassidy.
Jimmy played awesome on Ram. Rock on Jimmy
He didn’t play on Ram.
@@brucepaz7933 Where was he credited on Ram? That album came out in 1971. Jimmy didn’t start working with Paul until late 1973.
So sorry your right some how I swore I saw Jimmy name on the album my mistake.
Dave Spinoza was the other guitarist, Still the best produced album I think.
@@brucepaz7933 My favourite Macca album to this day!
@@brucepaz7933 Dave Spinozza and Hugh McCracken both played guitar on Ram, as well as Paul himself.
Ok Gang I made a goof sorry for Christ sakes. He was a great guitarist.
I just so wrong to OD.
Ive always thought "Beware My Love " lacked a blazing red hot guitar solo to really make it a real ass kicking tune...i think it EVERY time i hear it.Jimmy was silent! Maybe Fauls fault.Luv the tunes where he did deliver (Juniors Farm,Cafe on the left Bank (favs)).Too basd Fauls composing abilitys took such a dive,,,would luv him to have kicked out classic rockers forever.I didnt apreciate "Say Say Say,Ebony and Ivory,Silly Love Songs,london Town.Poor Poor lazy work.Luvs touring Composing stinks IMO.Lonnnnnnggg time fan."McCartney 2" was xlnt...maybe that was the last great 1.
"Mull of Kintyre" major stinker.Being rewarded so well for total stinkers maybe his compass broke.

Penis marking service only 14 years of age when can be passed away I just turned fourteen a month beforeit's all were disgraced Paul McCartney control Jimmy according to what I'm reading with music wives Jimmy really was at more of a heavy Walker that's for sure way above his time beyond the man was considered prodigy guitars for crying out loud anyway like I mentioned him and Jackie both look similar gorgeous gorgeous men both inside and out phenomenal they were however they were exposed to too much stuff at a very young age and nobody bothered to be a mentor to goes to or somebody should have went with Jimmy on tour that's for sure should have been sent to rehab what a disgrace breaks my heart but what can we do but make peace with all of this shame on the McCartney's
@@anaparada7219 Are you on crack?
@@anaparada7219 Jimmy was in the music business way before he was hired by McCartney, who looked out for Paul and the Beatles? Life is tough, and I have a lot of friends, who went the way of Jimmy, and they weren’t rock stars, just regular ordinary people, drugs and alcohol are dangerous, but Jimmy was an adult? McCartney gave Jimmy the opportunity of a life time, and Jimmy was great in Wings! But his drinking and drugging, took its toll on his relationship with Paul, and he ended up leaving wings, but why blame the McCartneys, Jimmy made more money in those few years than he had ever did, and it was his obnoxious behavior that sort of ended it for him, and the McCartneys, Paul liked and respected jimmys talent!
