10 seconds into the song tears flowed down my face, hurting/longing for the days of this songs era, and the flood of happy childhood memories the song suddenly brought to me. I would do anything to go back to that time for just a little while.
+Donnoha I go through the same thing. I find it hard to get my old friends to get out of their life for any adventure at all. It's really not that hard to get together and relive the old days with the music. There's no law against it, but everyone acts like there is. So sad to see all the people I loved just fade away.
when i hear 70s music it can make me feel sad because i know that was my parents era. my mum for example, lost both her parents in the 80s and i know the music of the 70s takes her back to a time when she had them and she was young and carefree.
A number 1 hit in the US and Canada, Top 10 hit pretty much everywhere else in the world...but somehow it's "often overlooked." Surprised you didn't use the standard internet term "underrated" 🙄
Never heard anyone specifically diss Wings music in general. Specific songs maybe but Wings music is regarded as the most popular and highest grossing sales music of the 1970's.
Yes it does, fam trip to Branson then rest of summer working at the local salvation army center for my brother, playing bb all day, foose ball w my friends etc (on the clock)
I was 9 years old when this was released. My family and I were down the Jersey shore for the summer and this song was being played on just about every station that was around. I clearly remember people saying things like "Hey this is the new Wings" and "Its the new Paul song!" I was enthralled with this song and "Magneto", too. The songs melody defines that era, for me. And it sounds even better in 2021. Love and peace, to all.
I was 10 years old in Ortley Beach, NJ, that summer of 1975. "Listen to What the Man Said" could be heard on the radios on the beach. I was a Beatles fan and a Paul McCartney (Wings) fan, too. My neighbor's mom told me about The Beatles a few years earlier and I started asking to buy their albums. As well as McCartney's albums, "Band on the Run" and "Red Rose Speedway." Then in 1975 "Venus and Mars" came out. Later, "Silly Live Songs on "Speed of Sound, etc., ..." His music is such a happy part of my life. It brings back memories and good feelings I had when I was young.
Karen Infidel Thanks for saying that. I get that same feeling. Maybe because my my family has passed on but I'm so happy sad when I hear songs from the 70's.
Me too! I was born in 1972 and vividly the zen way of the 70's. The 80's was superfun for your middle school/high school years, but those elementary school years in the 70's cannot be beat. It was just so laid back and chill. And now the world is insane. I mean this youth generation/millineals are killing me. I just don't get them at all.
We watched my older brother board a plane for his advanced training in the army. On the way home, my sisters and mom were crying, but my dad and I were stoic. Although I felt like I had a grapefruit stuck in my throat and wanted to cry too, I couldn’t. Had to stay strong. Both my brother and I served and went on to other endeavors, but this song brings it all back. Thanks for the post.
I will never cease to be amazed at how powerful music is and how a song can take you back to an exact time and place! For me, I can distinctly remember my 6 year old self listening to this during the summer of 1975 with the speakers up against the window screen and pointed out towards the pool, laying on a pool floating raft, the smell of the chlorine, the feel of the warm sun on me. Such great memories from such a great song.
Music is awesome ! This song takes me back to a kid and the car ride to get a haircut my mother driving and dad drinking high life and smoking camels in passenger seat haha . Brings a tear to my eye
I was five years old in 75. This song is one of the first songs I could remember listening to on the radio in my dad's Buick. That memory always gets triggered when I listen to this song.
Paul McCartney is unusual for a truly great artist. His parents loved him. And after his Mum died when he was a young teenager, that sense of loss of love entered his soul and produced the greatest popular music ever alongside his friend, who had suffered the same loss.
Why is it ,that I can't help and cry a little when I see Paul and Linda together in these music videos? They seemed to be such the perfect couple...and their time together was taken way to short. They are some of the greatest musicians in the 70's and 80's...there are not to many equal to them.
i'm so intensely jealous of anyone who lived through the 70s. you have no idea how lucky you are to have been young in those times, and experience the music and the freedom
I was 14 in 75.The mid decade hot Summers were special.Punk and after post 76 was fantastic.However, the programme Life on Mars sums up the early 70s.Music was crap and the UK was a real illiberal poor shithole and I lived in leafy Surrey
Late 70's, we are travelling to Italy. Amazing mountain road. I'm a little boy, lying on the the back sit and my dad play that song for the first time in my life. Three of us end up singing it together for 5 or 6 times in a row. What a great time it was.
i know exactly how you feel when you hear songs like this or baker street. was just telling my mom how the 70s / 80s were a special time...she agreed (and she's even older!! :-). what a soundtrack we had....i wish everyone could join us in going there with a time machine....how they would see the world after that....
Tom Scott is a badass. Yeah, nails it in one take. This video absolutely kills me. Those two were so happy. Some folks will never understand how good things can be.
As a child, this is one of my favorite songs in 1975. My hobby is music, and music can take u back in time where a song can just bring you to that era. In 1975, this song along with other 1975 songs such as "Jive Talkin", "Im Not In Love" & "Miracles" where my favs for that year and it would take me back to 2nd grade and remembering the friends i played with and my fav tv show in 1975 ,, "The Six Million Dollar Man". I too wish i could live just a day in "75 again.
I'm here crying remembering my dear dad. He used to listen to this song. I'm 36 years old and this song takes me back to my childhood, my dad fixing his motorcycle and me helping him out somehow 😊, my mum cooking, my sister doing her homework. Dear memories ❤❤🥹
I can go further back. I can remember 'All You Need is Love', and everyone singing along. Reminds me of my childhood and the summer it came out. My sister taped The Walrus on reel to reel tape. I was scared, the words were spooky.

This song was all over the radio on Cape Cod when it first came out. I was 5 yrs old. Few years later, I would learn that Paul was part of a band called: The Beatles. So then I learned their music.
Wow!!! all the comments relating to how we all wish to be back in this era, esp. 1970- to 1975, is very very sadly missed by all who grew up in this purely beautiful era we all once took for granted, until we got much older to realize the pure beauty in it all !!!!! its sadder then sad that we cant go back to this pure and innocent time when all was the very best of times ..... every time i hear this song its makes me cry just thinking how wonderful and special it was when this song hit the radio in the summertime when all i ever think back on is going to the beach and this song on the radio every summer thereafter..... and that SAX makes it all that much worse !!!!!
@@worldmusic09 The fashions might have been 'ugly' (not to me or guys like Quentin Tarantino) but the colors were fantastic compared to the gaudy colors of today - the muted earth tones, golden yellows, deep reds, burnt oranges, sky blues...
@@worldmusic09 haha it wasn’t that bad haha. But yeah it was a bit cringe to be fair. It’s weird when I look back at life back then. My parents did so well to give us a good life as black kids growing up in West London. It was full of happy memories and multicultural London was really good from a 7 year old’s perspective. The music was also very decent. A blend of all sorts from MOR to glam rock and reggae.
I just love watching these old videos of Paul, Linda, their family & the band etc. They always seem to be so in love as a couple and everyone else around them is happy and having fun too! :)
I am so damn glad I got to live all through the 70’s. We were finally coming out of the HORRIBLE 60’s with its major problems with Vietnam, political asassinations, civil rights protests, on campus shootings, and much more. Our music is what we all used daily as a way to help heal the wounds of the 1960’s. By the mid to late 70’s we were all feeling well out on the dance floor with our disco music!
My father introduced me to Paul when i was a young boy. Everytime i hear his songs...I always think about my Dad! He and I got to see Sir Paul in Hershey last year...I will never forget that time my father and I had together watching Paul live in concert!
Man,this takes me back to the early 80s, hearing this on the radio, living with my grandmother, my teenager years, the memories, big ups, they don't make this kind of music anymore
we used to spend summers in california. i remember being 15 playing basketball with my older bro, we worked summer jobs ,saved some money to buy an old car, good times, good tunes.. loved this song, band on the run was my fav album too i used to play that album with huge headphones on... got high without drugs, just good music!
I miss good music I love all kinds of music but today’s music is just bad I can’t find songs that are good to dance to or even just to listen to the good old days of great music are gone. Thanks to you tube we can listen to our favorite older tunes.
Brad Hill Only when he knows there are cameras/microphones around to record him. If you search them out, you can find examples of this Faul character having some really nasty interactions with fans and journalists.
Funny that you can remember stuff that happened when you were 8 years old. I distinctly remember cruising our rural paper route with my mom in her VW Beetle listening to this song on the AM station. I was always waiting for it to come on. I loved Paul McCartney and Wings and this song seems to have found particular spot in my heart.
Had a huge crush on a beautiful girl that summer and she loved this song. Our families knew each other and we'd go on summer vacations together. When this would come on in the car radio she'd always turn it up. We were both 16. This song will always remind me of her and those times together as kids.
I used to wait to hear some maccartney and wings songs too during this era...uncle albert/admiral halsey, silly love songs, let em in, and take it away were the ones during the 70s and early 80s that as a kid struck a chord and made me a lifelong fan..my mom had a 68 ford galaxy and I would here all of these songs on the am radio..magic times to be a kid
All of Paul's greatest hits with wings are pretty damn phenomenal period!!!!! ALL have a very special magical quality about them, as the songs are perfectly mastered never to be duplicated whatsoever !!!!!!!!
here is cool facts...the crazy thing about Paul McCartney's career is that he was the only one of the four Beatles and artist/musician in history who had been inducted to hall of fame three times.... Rolling Stone and VH1 greatest artist of all time as with the Beatles, with the Wings and as a solo artist. He was the best beatle overall for the simple fact he was the composer to many of their hits.
Felix Da Cat It would have been an interesting period since 1981 if John hadnt been cut down by that fcker Chapman.....Beatle Reunion (may have been). He wrote 4 best selling hits on his last album Double Fantasy.in just 2 weeks!
Stephen Riley: I'm sorry, but I don't want to see a Beatles reunion, and I don't think that the Beatles (even if John had never been shot) would want to come back for one-they were a spent force creatively, and they knew that. Time to let go what could've been and accept what is.
Felix Da Cat The Beatles were a complete phenomenon and all 4 were super talented and will always be known as the greatest band ever but for me Paul MCcartney is the most talented, probably the greatest pop musician of them all!
I love Paul and Linda! They were such a great couple. You can see the love they had for each other in every piece of film footage. They were just real and as real as it gets. They went around enjoying themselves and each other with their children and their bandmates just taking in the sights and the scenery and loving life. And their music was and is incredible!
I was in New Orleans when Paul and Linda recorded this at Sea-Saint Studios there. Have long regretted not having been a pest, going by there to say hi. A real lost opportunity. At least I met Paul’s brother Mike 10 years later.
Takes me back the music was the positive antidote to all that was negative in the 70’ s Uk ( and there was a lot of badness being perpetrated by those in power at the time - civil war in Northern Ireland. Racism sexism homophobia on steroids…… murderous wars in Vietnam Laos Cambodia Poisoning of food with pesticides herbicides and fungicides. Smoking everywhere - as a child being stuck on busses and in public buildings full of smoke. …….oh and the constant threat of nuclear war. but looking back through the lens nostalgia. It really was a fantastic time. The anticipation of waiting for the ‘top 40’ on. The radio at the weekend. Then rushing to school and discussing the changes with your friends. Long hot summers lying in the grass with friends just chatting and larking around …. Actually having time to be bored …. Yes. Bored… and getting to know people directly without it being curated through a digital watching third party. Things for some were much worse however ….in the early 1980’s I went to Bulgaria. I remember that all our English magazines were confiscated on arrival - they called it disinformation and propaganda.. the ordinary people I met were lovely but terrified to speak freely……….is this starting to sound familiar….. anyway it didn’t end well for those in power ….. in the end ….people need at least the semblance of freedom if not freedom itself.
You are so right...LInda was the true and only real LOVE that Paul ever had in his life other than his children. Her genuine love was for Paul ...not his mega millions that the 'others' was really after!!
I received Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road for a birthday gift in 1967, I was hooked and have been a fan of the band and all of their solo endeavors since then. John Lennon and Paul McCartney have both given such fabulous and ingenious contributions to the progression of music, it will never be forgotten. Ever since they came onto the scene, music changed forever. They were able to transcend the typical barriers defining certain music types by incorporating creative self expression to a whole new level.
Love this song. It brings back great memories of being a kid. One of the first singles I owned. It was however jolting to see Jimmy Savile at the end of the video.
I forgot about all the detail in this song. I listened to it tonight on headphones. There's so much in there, It makes me want to dig out my old Vinyl copy of Venus & Mars.
I can hear all elements of music in this song...a hint of jazz,pop,R&B! All culminating into what some would simply label '70's light rock! It sounds absolutely awesome! (And,it has a little hint of disco in it,also!)
here is a cool fact...the crazy thing about Paul McCartney's career is that he was the only one of the four Beatles and artist/musician in history who had been inducted to hall of fame 3 times.... Rolling Stone and VH1 greatest artist of all time as with the Beatles, with the Wings and as a solo artist. He was the best beatle overall for the simple fact he was the composer to many of their hits.
On this day in 1997 my mom died and PM and Wings were one of her favorite groups. When I was young, we would be on the way to school and she would play his songs as we drove across town to our school. I was probably the only kid at my school who was signing PM and Wings. Today, I play his songs to my little nephews and nieces to keep them calm and get some kind of connection to their great grandmother and make me feel like she is here to see them grow. She always sang background vocals and so I sing them as well but a lot more lead. 😭
10 seconds into the song tears flowed down my face, hurting/longing for the days of this songs era, and the flood of happy childhood memories the song suddenly brought to me. I would do anything to go back to that time for just a little while.
Agree. Takes you right back to the Summer of 1975
We too
True, magic times
Missing my Dad
Same🙏
I cannot tell you how much I miss my youth, my parents, the good old days....it's just overwhelming at times.
I feel your pain. I wish I get aboard a time machine and go back.
+Donnoha I go through the same thing. I find it hard to get my old friends to get out of their life for any adventure at all. It's really not that hard to get together and relive the old days with the music. There's no law against it, but everyone acts like there is. So sad to see all the people I loved just fade away.
+winogirlll Me too.......To many of those times.......
+Cale Roy Wusere I understand what you are saying. I love to sit back and listen to the music of my childhood and let the great memories come back.
when i hear 70s music it can make me feel sad because i know that was my parents era. my mum for example, lost both her parents in the 80s and i know the music of the 70s takes her back to a time when she had them and she was young and carefree.
Without a doubt, Paul McCartney is the greatest singer,songwriter and musician. One of the last legends in music.
I think he's the most talented musician alive right now. He can do any genre music no problem ❤
Like nearly 50 years ago and so many Paul McCartney & Wings songs still always sound so new and alive, so relevant and timeless.
One of the best Paul McCartney and wings songs and one of my favorites. RIP Linda McCartney.
She looks beautiful here
+Christopher Phillips - I very much agree!!
This is a fantastic and often overlooked song of Paul McCartney's. I love his Wings phase. The wonder of it all, baby...
A number 1 hit in the US and Canada, Top 10 hit pretty much everywhere else in the world...but somehow it's "often overlooked." Surprised you didn't use the standard internet term "underrated" 🙄
@@chiefscheider Okay CHIEF, in terms of the modern perception of McCartney’s career? YAH, IT’S OVERLOOKED AND UNDERRATED. Ya fucking douche-nozzle.
Way to go Kam W. Classic song written when Paul was happy in his life with Linda.
It is forgotten now but was very popular in the summer of 1975. Good song.
always loved this song one of is best post beatle s ongs pauls had a great life
People always knock Paul's Wings music but some of it is sheer genius.
+Paul Ivey Who knocks Paul's music with Wings?
Lots of people do. They seem to think that his Wings period was dross. He wrote some of his best IMO.
Paul Ivey Man, that's a new one - I'd never heard that before.
+Paul Ivey It really really was!
Never heard anyone specifically diss Wings music in general. Specific songs maybe but Wings music is regarded as the most popular and highest grossing sales music of the 1970's.
This song is a time-capsule... it reminds me of the summer of 1975.

Yes it does, fam trip to Branson then rest of summer working at the local salvation army center for my brother, playing bb all day, foose ball w my friends etc (on the clock)
@donereally Compared all that with kids are doing today... just video games, cell phones and social media... it's a damn shame.
I remember all the building up to the American Bicentennial in 76.
This song always reminds me of that time.
After that in September of that year, I started my freshman year of high school.
I was 9 years old when this was released. My family and I were down the Jersey shore for the summer and this song was being played on just about every station that was around.
I clearly remember people saying things like "Hey this is the new Wings" and "Its the new Paul song!"

This song makes me feel like a hard punch to the stomach, coupled with a huge lump in my throat. I will always love and miss the 70's.
Karen Infidel Thanks for saying that. I get that same feeling. Maybe because my my family has passed on but I'm so happy sad when I hear songs from the 70's.
so true, I'm so nostalgic and Paul brings it out in bucketloads!
Perez Tango Im sorry for your loss. The music from the 70's is so unique and almost healing in a way. Many songs told a story.
Karen Infidel ur a jew

Paul is the nicest ,most normal superstar i can think of,he writes positive songs to make everyone happy
He sure brought a lot of love into the world
Another pleasant memory of the Summer of 1975......
It was a great summer! I remember it well and this this music on the radio.
Great summer! I was 11. THE BEST!
Yes. The best years of my teenage youth. I was 16.
EXACTLY !!!! I was a lifeguard at the public pool and about to go into my Sr yr of high school !!!!! GOOD MEMORIES 🙂
We watched my older brother board a plane for his advanced training in the army. On the way home, my sisters and mom were crying, but my dad and I were stoic. Although I felt like I had a grapefruit stuck in my throat and wanted to cry too, I couldn’t. Had to stay strong. Both my brother and I served and went on to other endeavors, but this song brings it all back. Thanks for the post.

One of the best written songs from what I consider the lead Beatle.
Great song, but for me lennon is the lead Beatle. He started and finished the group.
@@Multijoe84 True but towards the end Paul was the one basically keeping it together. Until he could no longer could that is.
Why is it ,that I can't help and cry a little when I see Paul and Linda together in these music videos? They seemed to be such the perfect couple...and their time together was taken way to short. They are some of the greatest musicians in the 70's and 80's...there are not to many equal to them.
Gonna be a sad time when everyone from this time period is dead and gone, such great music, hopefully will never be forgotten.
+mike It wont be if we make it so!
***** true
Gonna be terrible when Paul is gone. Then we all die. How depressing. Linda was awesome. So sad. Depressing.
(wiping the tears off her cheek)
Not really my mom taught me this kind of music and I love it, I plan to keep passing it on
i'm so intensely jealous of anyone who lived through the 70s. you have no idea how lucky you are to have been young in those times, and experience the music and the freedom
Don't pine for what you don't know. It wasn't all shits and giggles.
I was 14 in 75.The mid decade hot Summers were special.Punk and after post 76 was fantastic.However, the programme Life on Mars sums up the early 70s.Music was crap and the UK was a real illiberal poor shithole and I lived in leafy Surrey
Yeah, it was pretty special.
The music was the best part until disco came around. No computers or cell phones. We had interact with people.
Is that Beavis and Butthead at the beginning? That places this song in the 90s.
I don't know how a man can survive losing a love like
what Paul and Linda had.
Amazing song by one of the most cherished songwriters of all time!

You’ll never hear another song like this the times have changed for the worse brings back great memories
Late 70's, we are travelling to Italy. Amazing mountain road. I'm a little boy, lying on the the back sit and my dad play that song for the first time in my life. Three of us end up singing it together for 5 or 6 times in a row. What a great time it was.
Oh, what will become of us when Paul McCartney leaves this world? I wish him another 100 years on this Earth. 🙌🦋🙌
This was an era of music that can never be duplicated, rock and roll forever.
i know exactly how you feel when you hear songs like this or baker street. was just telling my mom how the 70s / 80s were a special time...she agreed (and she's even older!! :-). what a soundtrack we had....i wish everyone could join us in going there with a time machine....how they would see the world after that....
I miss the 70's so much. Loved Paul McCartney & the Wings. Lots of sweet memories of being a teenager.
Tom Scott is a badass. Yeah, nails it in one take.
This video absolutely kills me. Those two were so happy. Some folks will never understand how good things can be.
In all the videos I've seen of Paul and Linda together, they seemed to be so much in love, it is so sad that she died so soon.
I had literally just mentioned that to another poster.
I have never seen a husband and wife so satisfied with each other.
Everytime I see video of Paul and Linda my heart feels joyous. I want that carefree 💘 #priceless
Yes, they personified so much of our human condition and idealism.
She always appeared in his videos.
Incredible music and times….what happened? Take me back please!
This is my favorite paul McCartney song! He has a great voice! I could listen to him all day!!

Listen to what Paul McCartney said ‘Listen to what the man said’.What a songwriter.
Yeah... Grade z lyrics.
Poor Paul. When Linda died his whole world just crashed. He's never really been the same.
I'm sure he still misses her dearly with tears and all
He seemed pretty upbeat when I saw him at a restaurant in London in 2011.
I agree with Kevin, that was true love they shared
Ouch. I believe that she's everywhere he goes.
Linda was the woman of his dreams. They were so meant for each other.
Very sad that he lost Linda so young. They always looked like soul mates together.
Linda was Paul's one true love no matter what any man says!
Never get sick of this song or Paul
The 70s... A decade of great music never to be seen or heard from again.
Electric Light Orchestra . . . damn F'N straight!
Well, definitely heard from again since we're still listening to the music today, but never to be seen or experienced again...
This song was all over the radio on Cape Cod when it first came out. I was 5 yrs old. Few years later, I would learn that Paul was part of a band called: The Beatles. So then I learned their music.
Wow!!! all the comments relating to how we all wish to be back in this era, esp. 1970- to 1975, is very very sadly missed by all who grew up in this purely beautiful era we all once took for granted, until we got much older to realize the pure beauty in it all !!!!! its sadder then sad that we cant go back to this pure and innocent time when all was the very best of times ..... every time i hear this song its makes me cry just thinking how wonderful and special it was when this song hit the radio in the summertime when all i ever think back on is going to the beach and this song on the radio every summer thereafter..... and that SAX makes it all that much worse !!!!!
The only part I still cringe about is the fashions. Ugly then, and still ugly now. Loved the music though.
@@worldmusic09 The fashions might have been 'ugly' (not to me or guys like Quentin Tarantino) but the colors were fantastic compared to the gaudy colors of today - the muted earth tones, golden yellows, deep reds, burnt oranges, sky blues...
@@worldmusic09 haha it wasn’t that bad haha. But yeah it was a bit cringe to be fair. It’s weird when I look back at life back then. My parents did so well to give us a good life as black kids growing up in West London. It was full of happy memories and multicultural London was really good from a 7 year old’s perspective. The music was also very decent. A blend of all sorts from MOR to glam rock and reggae.
He so loved his wife.
I just love watching these old videos of Paul, Linda, their family & the band etc. They always seem to be so in love as a couple and everyone else around them is happy and having fun too! :)
This is exactly what I see too.
This song actually has an amazing bass line, which for some reason I've never really noticed before this listen....
That's always the first thing I listen for in Paul's music!
ᴅᴀᴠᴇ ᴍᴀsᴏɴ's ʟᴇᴀᴅ ɢᴜɪᴛᴀʀ ᴀɪɴ'ᴛ ᴛᴏᴏ sʜᴀʙʙʏ ᴇɪᴛʜᴇʀ...
A change of pace at the end of the song, paul genius.
What a beautiful ending.
dave puchuri This music live for ever!!!...Paul rules!!!!
The album version where the ending of this song merges into Treat her gently.. ( I think)
I am so damn glad I got to live all through the 70’s. We were finally coming out of the HORRIBLE 60’s with its major problems with Vietnam, political asassinations, civil rights protests, on campus shootings, and much more. Our music is what we all used daily as a way to help heal the wounds of the 1960’s. By the mid to late 70’s we were all feeling well out on the dance floor with our disco music!
My father introduced me to Paul when i was a young boy. Everytime i hear his songs...I always think about my Dad! He and I got to see Sir Paul in Hershey last year...I will never forget that time my father and I had together watching Paul live in concert!
Man,this takes me back to the early 80s, hearing this on the radio, living with my grandmother, my teenager years, the memories, big ups, they don't make this kind of music anymore
we used to spend summers in california. i remember being 15 playing basketball with my older bro, we worked summer jobs ,saved some money to buy an old car, good times, good tunes.. loved this song, band on the run was my fav album too i used to play that album with huge headphones on... got high without drugs, just good music!
Omg. Memories. This song. The man. The band. The time and place.
Just total CLASS
We’ll never hear music released that was this exciting again.
I miss good music I love all kinds of music but today’s music is just bad I can’t find songs that are good to dance to or even just to listen to the good old days of great music are gone. Thanks to you tube we can listen to our favorite older tunes.
Amen!!!! Today's music sucks, and it doesn't make sense whatsoever!!!
Paul is very good at being famous....Always seems amiable even with constant attention from every angle....Very approachable fellow....
Unlike Bob Dylan, Prince, Madonna...who am I missing?
+winogirlll well,not prince in 2016
Me?
Brad Hill
Only when he knows there are cameras/microphones around to record him. If you search them out, you can find examples of this Faul character having some really nasty interactions with fans and journalists.
I met him on the streets OF NYC in 1989.....I was in awe.....yet HE made ME feel special. You'd think he'd get tired of it all...he is beyond special!
I'm so glad I grew up listening to music from the 70's. ☮️❤️🎶🇺🇲
this song is an underrated gem
Funny that you can remember stuff that happened when you were 8 years old. I distinctly remember cruising our rural paper route with my mom in her VW Beetle listening to this song on the AM station. I was always waiting for it to come on. I loved Paul McCartney and Wings and this song seems to have found particular spot in my heart.
Yes, it found a particular spot in my heart too...a spot which is always carefree, joyous, and enjoys an intense lust for happiness!
Had a huge crush on a beautiful girl that summer and she loved this song. Our families knew each other and we'd go on summer vacations together. When this would come on in the car radio she'd always turn it up. We were both 16. This song will always remind me of her and those times together as kids.
I used to wait to hear some maccartney and wings songs too during this era...uncle albert/admiral halsey, silly love songs, let em in, and take it away were the ones during the 70s and early 80s that as a kid struck a chord and made me a lifelong fan..my mom had a 68 ford galaxy and I would here all of these songs on the am radio..magic times to be a kid
Amen those were the days! Still have the Lp
Venus and Mars
All of Paul's greatest hits with wings are pretty damn phenomenal period!!!!! ALL have a very special magical quality about them, as the songs are perfectly mastered never to be duplicated whatsoever !!!!!!!!
here is cool facts...the crazy thing about Paul McCartney's career is that he was the only one of the four Beatles and artist/musician in history who had been inducted to hall of fame three times.... Rolling Stone and VH1 greatest artist of all time as with the Beatles, with the Wings and as a solo artist. He was the best beatle overall for the simple fact he was the composer to many of their hits.
Felix Da Cat It would have been an interesting period since 1981 if John hadnt been cut down by that fcker Chapman.....Beatle Reunion (may have been). He wrote 4 best selling hits on his last album Double Fantasy.in just 2 weeks!
Stephen Riley: I'm sorry, but I don't want to see a Beatles reunion, and I don't think that the Beatles (even if John had never been shot) would want to come back for one-they were a spent force creatively, and they knew that. Time to let go what could've been and accept what is.
I concur Felix. The best for me, anyway!
Felix Da Cat The Beatles were a complete phenomenon and all 4 were super talented and will always be known as the greatest band ever but for me Paul MCcartney is the most talented, probably the greatest pop musician of them all!
Such a throwback to my happy childhood days.. i was 9 when this was released in 1975… such a great time…
Just one of the best songs of all time. Paul and Wings were geniuses
This video makes me miss my adolescence so much, the 70s decade was great
I was only 8 years old when this song came out, but even back then I knew it a hook that would sound good 4 decades later!
I love Paul and Linda! They were such a great couple. You can see the love they had for each other in every piece of film footage. They were just real and as real as it gets. They went around enjoying themselves and each other with their children and their bandmates just taking in the sights and the scenery and loving life. And their music was and is incredible!
Walking over the lil flower patch @ 1:48 melts my heart. What absolute gems these folks were
I loveeeeee this song and video!!! The wonder of it all baby the wonder of it all baby yeah yeah yeah
Were they not the coolest couple? They were magic and had magic music!!
Yes, and I sure loath Linda's passing.
Peaked at #6 in U.K. on 15 June 1975
Puts me in a really good mood as soon as I hear it
I was in New Orleans when Paul and Linda recorded this at Sea-Saint Studios there. Have long regretted not having been a pest, going by there to say hi. A real lost opportunity. At least I met Paul’s brother Mike 10 years later.
Every time I hear this song it makes me think of sunny summer days in the early 70's as a kid.. Swimming, hamburgers and hotdogs by the pool!
Takes me back the music was the positive antidote to all that was negative in the 70’ s Uk ( and there was a lot of badness being perpetrated by those in power at the time - civil war in Northern Ireland. Racism sexism homophobia on steroids…… murderous wars in Vietnam Laos Cambodia Poisoning of food with pesticides herbicides and fungicides. Smoking everywhere - as a child being stuck on busses and in public buildings full of smoke. …….oh and the constant threat of nuclear war. but looking back through the lens nostalgia. It really was a fantastic time. The anticipation of waiting for the ‘top 40’ on. The radio at the weekend. Then rushing to school and discussing the changes with your friends. Long hot summers lying in the grass with friends just chatting and larking around …. Actually having time to be bored …. Yes. Bored… and getting to know people directly without it being curated through a digital watching third party. Things for some were much worse however ….in the early 1980’s I went to Bulgaria. I remember that all our English magazines were confiscated on arrival - they called it disinformation and propaganda.. the ordinary people I met were lovely but terrified to speak freely……….is this starting to sound familiar….. anyway it didn’t end well for those in power ….. in the end ….people need at least the semblance of freedom if not freedom itself.
man love the old stuff i miss my early life where things were simple and people had backbones!
Loved Wings never out of the charts in the 70's
I love listening to these, Paul is a real master.
WOW! 1975, I was six, wearing my Toughskin jeans and blue Keds. Watching the clouds blow by and not a care in the world. :> Where did it all go!
Growing up in SoCal...at the beach every summer with family and friends....this song brings back all of those memories.
Young, beautiful, and rich. The secret to having it all is realizing it when you do.
Beautiful song. Never get tired of this one.
Linda was just stunning. A natural beauty. No makeup necessary. Great videos of there time together.
You are so right...LInda was the true and only real LOVE that Paul ever had in his life other than his children. Her genuine love was for Paul ...not his mega millions that the 'others' was really after!!
Brings back lots of happy memories, I'm 59 now and remember this song like yesterday. One of Wings best !
A golden age of Paul and Wings and as a bonus, the end features their time in my home, the beautiful Virgin Islands 🇻🇮
..75 was an Ace year and this was part of the coolness...Thx Paul and Linda and Wings... :)
You could truly see how in love he was with his wife... Great song, thanks for posting...
I received Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road for a birthday gift in 1967, I was hooked and have been a fan of the band and all of their solo endeavors since then. John Lennon and Paul McCartney have both given such fabulous and ingenious contributions to the progression of music, it will never be forgotten.
Ever since they came onto the scene, music changed forever. They were able to transcend the typical barriers defining certain music types by incorporating creative self expression to a whole new level.
I turned 19 in May of 75. I remember this song and the album Venus and Mars like it was yesterday.
Love this song. It brings back great memories of being a kid. One of the first singles I owned. It was however jolting to see Jimmy Savile at the end of the video.
まだ日本に発展と希望で輝いていた時代。欧米文化への憧憬。1975年、あの時代のさわさわしたざわめきを思い出す。
I forgot about all the detail in this song. I listened to it tonight on headphones. There's so much in there, It makes me want to dig out my old Vinyl copy of Venus & Mars.
Miss Linda so much RIP
I can hear all elements of music in this song...a hint of jazz,pop,R&B! All culminating into what some would simply
label '70's light rock! It sounds absolutely awesome! (And,it has a little hint of disco in it,also!)
990th! Waking up today Paul started singing this to me… 12 hours later I’m finally sitting down to listen! Thank You Sir Paul!
here is a cool fact...the crazy thing about Paul McCartney's career is that he was the only one of the four Beatles and artist/musician in history who had been inducted to hall of fame 3 times.... Rolling Stone and VH1 greatest artist of all time as with the Beatles, with the Wings and as a solo artist. He was the best beatle overall for the simple fact he was the composer to many of their hits.
im only 20 and LOVE paul & the beatles ❤️❤️❤️ 60s-70s music is hands down the best 🙌
On this day in 1997 my mom died and PM and Wings were one of her favorite groups. When I was young, we would be on the way to school and she would play his songs as we drove across town to our school. I was probably the only kid at my school who was signing PM and Wings. Today, I play his songs to my little nephews and nieces to keep them calm and get some kind of connection to their great grandmother and make me feel like she is here to see them grow. She always sang background vocals and so I sing them as well but a lot more lead. 😭
even if you take out all of his Beatles stuff, Macca still has a first-class back-catalogue
True, but his Beatle stuff is magical the wing stuff sounds good but a lot more trendy and smoothed out.
Paul Mccartney murió en 1966: themormonviewaboutpaulmccartneydeath.blogspot.com/
I love the song, video all the way around. Chilvary, values, a great message. Oh and God he is wealthy.
such a big part of my childhood. Love it.
