To call Paul McCartney a musical genius would be an understatement. The man is a music machine. When you think of his catalogue and all of the songs that he had a part in, it's truly astounding.
Just a minor point. In the same vein that you would not call the band THE Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pauls group is not THE Wings, but simply Paul McCartney and Wings.
The blonde woman you keep seeing in the video was his wife Linda. They met May 15, 1967 at a Georgie Fame concert in London. They married March 12, 1969 in London. Linda Louise McCartney, Lady McCartney (née Eastman; September 24, 1941 - April 17, 1998) was an American photographer, musician, animal rights activist, vegetarian cook book author and advocate, and entrepreneur. She was the keyboardist in the band Wings, which also featured her husband, Paul McCartney, a former member of the Beatles. A few months after her Rolling Stones shoot, she was allowed backstage at Shea Stadium, where the Beatles performed. She photographed Clapton for Rolling Stone magazine and became the first woman to have a photograph on the cover (May 11, 1968). After she married McCartney, her photo of the two of them appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone on January 31, 1974, making her the only person to appear on the magazine's cover who was also the photographer. After the Beatles broke up in 1970, Paul taught Linda to play keyboards. She passed away from breast cancer at the age of 56.
Wings (no "The" BTW) was Paul's hand picked band after he did his first couple solo albums. They went through a few personnel changes over the years, but they had a very successful ten year run, until Paul decided to go solo again. At the time of Band on the Run Wings was actually just a trio of Paul, his wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine.
Venus and Mars is likely my favorite Wings album. That said yes he, Linda and Denny had a revolving door on other members but there were recorded lp's with few line-up changes, typically the lead-guitarist and/or drummer. Basically 71-74 first line-up, then in 74 thru 78 second lineup and third lineup 78 thru 81.
Wings is the name of the band (not The Wings). When the Beatles broke up, Paul joined up with a former member of the Moody Blues, Denny Laine. Paul and Denny began writing songs together and eventually formed a band called Wings. The touring band included Paul and his wife Linda, Denny, a fantastic Scottish guitarist Jimmy McCulloch (died way too early, RIP), and an American drummer Joe English. They came to America and rocked their way across the USA becoming bigger than anyone ever expected. Huge, actually!
I think Jimmy was like 16 years old. He came from a band called Thunderclap Newman which had an incredible hit (Something In The Air) produced by Pete Townshed of the Who.
If you like Paul's mid-song transitions, you must listen to Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey. It was a huge hit from the Ram album. It's like bits of 3 or 4 songs perfectly tied together.
Rob Squad how did you like the Movie Grease from the 70s ? This song came out 2 years before GREASE 1976 Grease was 1978 ,, And Saturday night fever 1977,, I miss the 70s BAAAAAAD
@@sarahfullerton6894 MMD is a great song. So very fun and catchy!!! Paul does some wild things with his voice on that one. I also love how he does a vocal counter-melody towards the end that fits perfectly.
"Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-five" has become one of my favourite Wing's songs!! I love the live version from an LA concert! Great idea for sure! Cheers!
Fun fact: Paul McCartney is the only person to have a number 1 single as a solo artist, duet (with Stevie Wonder), trio (Wings), quartet (I'll give you three guesses... lol), quintet (Beatles featuring Billy Preston), and as part of a collective (the charity single version of 'Ferry 'cross the Mersey') That's never going to be beaten.
Paul McCartney & Wings we’re huge in the 1970s. I recommend Silly Love Songs, Let’Em In, Helen Wheels, Goodnight Tonight, Listen to what the man says, and With A Little Luck next. Also Check out Paul’s other gems…Coming Up, Dance Tonight, Take It Away, Little Woman Love, and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.
This segment of Paul's illustrious career had some TRUE classics (a few of which you've heard). I would recommend "Silly Love Songs", "Let 'Em In", "Listen to What the Man Said", and "With a Little Luck".
Yes, for sure. For me, Let 'Em In has a special place in my heart for me because I remember hearing that song at like 5 y/o and remembering that whistle part. I didn't hear it again until I was around 23 years old in a Vegas casino of all places. lol. I didn't even know it was a Paul McCartney song until then.
Wings was a band formed by Paul McCartney after the Beatles broke up. Band on the Run was written about an incident in the Philippines when Paul was caught with weed. The authorities were going to put them in prison. Don't remember the details, but they managed to escape the country. By the way it's just Wings, not the Wings.
Amber and J, next should be “Silly Love Songs.” You’ll get your strong bass and horns! Plus it’s just a wonderful song. “Maybe I’m Amazed” should be on your list too!
They already reacted to "Maybe I'm Amazed" about a year ago. Great reaction too! Jay and Amber were absolutely blown away (and amazed) by Paul's voice!😊🎶❤😽🍀
McCartney not only holds the world record for selling the most albums ever, most number one singles but had a number one hit every year consecutively for 24 years on the trot and he's the most successful songwriter ever too.
There are LOTS of Paul McCartney and Wings songs, and you'll see many of them mentioned in the comments. But one really good one that nobody mentions often is "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". It was Paul's first #1 hit after the Beatles broke up. And it's very quirky with interesting transitions. I think you'd love it...and nobody ever reacts to it. Give it a try!
The "ever get out of here" lines were basically from some things George said in the height of Beatlemania when they were touring and playing like 300 dates a year. Definitely the line "all I need is a pint a day" was.
I love the Beatles and don’t think there will ever be another group like them but I always think Wings were Paul’s celebration of no longer being a Beatle. Showcasing his absolute talent and total happiness at that time.
Pulling together the best Cats for your band is easier when you're a Beatle, I reckon. Dennys Laine put in some time with the Moody Blues, I suppose he was fairly willing. Celebration of your "not being a Beatle", or a Moody Blue, makes me think of Denny Laine's "Holly Days", which was produced by McCartney, and Lennon's "Rock And Roll", which was produced by Phil F ing Spector, both of these albums went back to the good old days of Buddy Holly and the single microphone in the room. 🎸Misspent youth.
I’m delighted that you’re doing more Beatles and Paul McCartney. I’m surprised that you haven’t done “Let it Be”! It is an absolute must! Keep em coming. 🌺✌️
No one will ever touch Paul! October 24th, 1979 Paul McCartney Is Awarded A Rhodium Record By The Guinness Book Of Records, For Being The World's Most Successful Song Writer. From 1962 To 1978, McCartney Had Written, Or Co-Written 43 Songs That Had Sold Over 1 Million Each. and he was a Beatle...
Here’s an idea - combine your music interest and your movie channel for a single occasion and watch the Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” movie. It was highly critically acclaimed and you’ll see them play a lot of their early songs in it too. Just another example of their tremendous impact and how incredibly popular they were- not many other bands, if any, made movies in those days.
Watch all 5 of their movies in order. A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mysrery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. And then watch Across The Universe.
In 2003 Paul and his new wife Heather Mills were vacationing in the North Lake Tahoe area. They showed up unannounced for dinner at Moody's Bistro and Lounge (part of the Truckee Hotel) in Truckee California. Paul was so cool that he sat in with the jazz trio and played a short set on his acoustic guitar. Can you imagine seeing Paul McCartney in a cafe setting with fewer than 100 people? He has so pleased with his reception that he arranged with the owner to come back the next year as long as it was kept a total secret from everyone including the same trio that was playing a year later.
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five Let Me Roll It Such a great song. The vocals are outstanding as per usual. I was thinking of how many Beatles song have various tempos in them. Like 2 or 3 songs in one. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I was fortunate to see him a few years back in New Orleans and I can say, without a doubt, was the best concert I attended in my life. He performed for nearly three solid hours with about a single ten minute break. He was 76 at the time. Truling amazing!!
He took a break? I’ve seen him many times, and the band took a break, but he didn’t. 10 years ago the concerts were 3:15, but more recently they are a bit shorter.
I liked them much more separate. Especially McCartney. Lenon's songs, especially with The Beatles, give me headaches every time. McCartney's solo work was his best and it was uplifting.
Wings was a group formed by Paul with his wife Linda & Denny Laine (founder member of Moody Blues 1964 to 1966, singing lead on their 1st big hit "Go Now")
Paul's concert in Moscow featured a largely forgotten rocker 'I saw her standing there' with six year old Russians singing the words to a song written in 1964!
When Paul left the Beatles, he produced his own solo album under his name. He then formed the band Wings and recorded at least two more albums under that name alone. Paul didn't join a band named Wings, he created the band. His wife, Linda, played keyboards, he recruited the guitarist from the Moody Blues, and then went through several other guitarist and drummers. But for the first two albums the band was just known as Wings. Everybody knew that Paul fronted the band. After a while it became Paul McCartney AND Wings, and then Paul just performed under his own name again and the Wings name just faded away. Wings was mostly British, although Linda was American.
Just as Steely Dan is Donald Fagan and Walter Becker and a rotating supporting cast, so Wings is Paul and Linda and Denny Lane and a rotating supporting cast.
The second album, Red Rose Speedway was Paul McCartney and Wings too because the first album Wings' Wild Life didn't sell that well. Denny Laine, from the Moody Blues was their lead singer as well. He had a hit with them called Go Now. He left the Moody Blues after one album. He sang a few songs in Wings too but none of the hits.
@@debjorgo Yeah, I went and read the wiki about them because my memory was faulty. I think through much of the 70s, the albums at least just listed the band as Wings, but they were introduced as Paul McCartney and Wings. There was a lot of interchangeability between the two names. I think when Denny left is when it just became Paul McCartney.
Paul was very much a family man, which is why he had his wife Linda as part of the group. They also toured with all their kids because they didn't want to leave them behind for months on end. So the kids came with them and they always managed to spend time with all of them which I think is a very precious quality of Pauls. Wings was huge in the 70s, my only regret was never seeing them live.
I loved the fact that they always made sure to take their kids with them. They also lived in a very small house in the country and never had a nanny. Very down to earth family. Such a tragedy when his wife died. Then to go on to be taken advantage of by such a terrible person, Heather Mills(reminds me of Amber Heard). Those women seem to always get their hooks into the nice guys.
Amber is such a great listener and she's so good at articulating what she's hearing. Jay too of course but Amber is so descriptive and on point every time!
Paul McCartney and Wings were a British-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney, his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine
WITH A LITTLE LUCK, is a fun , calming, positive song, that know one ever talks about , came out in 1978, I remember buying the album with that on it. Wings is Paul , his wife Linda on Keyboard, and different artists over the years playing drums and guitar. For John Lennon a must song is WOMAN or WATCHING THE WHEELS
If you ever watch the old Beatles videos, you will notice that Paul plays his bass the opposite direction of the other guys. He is left-handed and reversed the stringing of his guitar! His wife, Linda did a lot of the photography with the band, as she was a very talented photographer in her own right. Their daughter is the fashion designer, Stella McCartney! Talk about a talented family!! His late wife Linda was an animal-rights activist, but also wrote several cookbooks on vegetarian cooking.
You guys being such a cute couple together if you look you'll see Paul give Linda a grin while they're doing this concert. It's the cutest thing. Also I don't know if you do it but Google Rock Show
This whole album is great. One of my favorite things about Wings is the inclusion of Linda McCartney. She was a photographer, not a musician, and people gave Paul shit about putting his wife in the band, but he saw music as something you do for fun with your friends and he wanted a strong family so he handed Linda a tambourine and taught her some keyboards and they had 30 wonderful years together.
@@ginamplm but... I think I read that Linda was supposed to get co writing credits for Another Day.. then something about a Twiggy special and them being sued... anyone else heard that? I bet that Linda inspired quite a few of their songs.. she was also a photographer before and a vegetarian cook book author after... Linda had her talents 😉
Paul has always been my favorite Beatle. His solo output is absolutely amazing. A true hitmaker. As far as love songs, "My Love", "Baby I'm Amazed", "Silly Love Songs" and "Bluebird" are sweet. I was too young to experience The Beatles when they were together, but I remember Paul's career with Wings very well. These songs bring back memories of a very happy childhood.
@@magneto7930 I bet! This is a reason for me not to try voice to text! I'm a stickler for proofreading so you can imagine how I hate when I miss something I've written! LOL.
The whole *Band* *on* *the* *Run* album is a *MASTERPIECE!!!* 👍🎶❤😎 Please react to the rest of the songs from this album. Here's the track order from the LP: Side One: 1) Band on the Run, 2) Jet, 3) Bluebird, 4) Mrs. Vanderbilt 5) Let Me Roll It. Side Two: 1) Mamunia, 2) No Words, 3) Helen Wheels, 4) Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me), 5) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five. I guarantee you will love this album!!! BTW, the 25th Anniversary release has a 2nd disc with 21 additional tracks.
Wings was Paul and Linda McCartney with Denny Laine (from the Moody Blues) and a variety of guitarists and drummers. Some were British and some were American. Basically, Paul wanted to work with a group and wanted to work with his wife. They had a good run in the 70s until the early 80w. For the fashionistas out there, the little blond girl in the video is the fashion designer, Stella McCartney. Paul and Linda's youngest daughter.
"Sitting in the back seat of my car" is another McCartney composition of the likes only he coild have created. Naughty innuendo, incredible instruments, vocals, tongue in cheek.
Wings was hand picked by Paul to be his backing band in the 70s. The core members were himself, his wife Linda on keys, and lead guitarist Denny Laine. In fact, this entire album was recorded by just the three of them. Paul played over half of the instruments on this, including some of the guitars, keys, synth, and all the bass and drums.
@@martinmosteller5813 Saw the same show at The Grove in Anaheim, CA. Here's a funny - His real name is Brian Hines. He's from Birmingham, England. My last name is Hines and my father's family is from Birmingham.
Paul and John were the two main singers of the Beatles. All of the Beatles found success on their own after the split. My favorite Paul songs post Beatles are "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Jet". As a Beatle, I loved his early love songs and his later songs like "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude".
Yes, I've been waiting for this! At this point Wings were just a three-member band featuring Paul McCartney and his wife Linda and Denny Laine. Paul played most of the instruments on this song. If you like songs with these multi-segments you need to check out Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul Mccartney. You will love that one!
Uncle Albert! It exploded on the music scene as a completely different novel sound and composition. We were looking for an alternative to the acid rock that was becoming a pro-drug scene - music we could ALL listen to and enjoy. People were coming to terms with the dangers of drug use as so many pop culture icons were dying of overdoses. Plus - music was more accessible (finally) and with the exposure, people were looking for more interesting music and wanted to explore if rock could fit into the classical music structure with modern instruments - a'la the Who and Pinball Wizard/Rock Operas. Few people realize that most Beatles music follows an abbreviated 3 and 4 movement symphonic format, just like Mozart and Beethoven. Freddy Mercury was the guy who brought operatic voice, unapologetically, to rock music. If you're on a musical journey, find out more about composition and how writers put this stuff together!
They are just called ‘Wings’, the blonde in the video is his wife Linda who eventually became a part the band. He lost her to cancer. ‘Mull Of Kintyre (where they lived in Scotland) was a big hit for them as was ‘Silly Love Songs.’ The Frog Chorus and Paul McCartney - ‘We All Stand Together’ would probably amuse your children.
This is how this song was written, Paul : "Alright, You guys ready to write a song? I have 3 different songs that I want to cram together into one. They don't go together, but all 3 melodies are so good that everyone will wish we would have written all 3 songs for the rest of time."
An outstanding classic. It's effectively three songs in one. While all four did have successful solo careers, in terms of chart success Paul was the best, and it's not even close.
Agreed, Paul had excellent success solo and had the most hit songs. But personally for me, George Harrison had the best solo album with All Things Must Pass.
A lot of Paul songs are like that. Paul is so creative that he didn't mind "wasting" three phenomenal song melodies into one song that lesser artists would've miserly made into three songs. He knew there would be more brilliance along soon.
@@rodhubbard6320 Let's not go crazy. Lennon was an awful human being, especially to his first-born child and former wife. At best Lennon was trying to be better toward the end, but overall he was really a piece of garbage. Paul went out of his way to support Julian because John was such a self-absorbed neglectful asshole. Great musician, though.
I always knew them as Paul McCartney and Wings, not the Wings, and they are his band that he formed with wife, Linda in 1971! This is a classic song! I love see the old clips if he and his wife Linda, whom he lost to breast cancer in 1998! ❤️❤️
Spot on! And his brave wife Linda what an inspiration. She fought so hard! (Tears). Paul loved her so very much. Puts the term soul mates to the highest level. As a musician and Beatles fan thank you for your comment and rest in peace to our Rockstar sister Linda McCartney.
They went under the name Paul McCartney & Wings at first,but later it became just Wings. Denny Laine was the guitarist. Linda was also part of the group,and I remember Spitting Image,in one of its more vicious recurring jokes,kept taking the P out of her perceived lack of musicianship mercilessly in the 80s. She was a photographer by trade when they got together.
I heard an interview of Paul where he said that when the Beatles broke up he felt quite insecure and didn’t know what he was going to do without his bandmates after years of being in that one band. He formed a new band and named it wings because it was like a parachute or security blanket to help him move on and feel supported. I love that his wife Linda was in the band and performed and toured with him rather than be apart. They had a very happy marriage. So sad she died. Check out Paul’s solo version of Eleanor Rigby and his Eleanor’s Dream, a newer sort of extension of the original song. They were featured in his film Give my regards to Broad Street. In addition to a victorian double date with Ringo and wife, it shows a dreamlike Linda on a horse. She looks like a fairytale princess or angel. I think it shows how he saw her and adored her. They showed how good a marriage can be. Eleanor Rigby & Eleanor’s Dream ruclips.net/video/W3rG4vm06kE/видео.html Linda on horseback at 7:30
First off-it's not "The Wings" it's just "Wings". Yes it's one of my favorite songs by them, also check out Medicine Jar and Venus And Mars. The guitarist was Denny Laine who was also an original member of The Moody Blues, really good under rated guitarist. You guy's need to do some Ringo Starr, mainly Photograph or It Don't Come Easy and The No No Song, that one is pretty funny.
Thank you. I always get annoyed when someone adds a "the" that doesn't belong. May be silly, but, hey. Edited to add: thoroughly agree with the Ringo Starr suggestion.
After his first two solo albums Paul yearned to be in a band again so he formed Wings. The members were constantly changing but two members remained constant, Linda and Denny Laine, a founding member of The Moody Blues… A saw a comment requesting The Beatles’ Helter Skelter. That is must! Thanks.
Paul really was a creative genius. Such variety and good feelings in his songs. He really paints beautiful pictures with his music and lyrics. The surprise switch up in this tune is a neat element that work well too. These tune brings back great memories.
I just saw Sir Paul here in Baltimore in June. This was one of the nearly 40 songs he played, and he had the entire Camden Yards up and dancing with this song.
Transitions are part of what made the great bands so great. The Beatles did it a lot, and so did Queen. I'm sure there are other bands that did this but those two and of course McCartney's Wings stand out to me the most.
Paul's band (Wings) included his wife Linda (a well-known) photographer) and I love all the footage of him, Linda and their children. Paul absolutely loved Linda. Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer at a young age.
Such a great song... so timeless, and such a great storytelling song. You've got to listen to two other songs from the Band on the Run album: Jet and Let Me Roll It.
This song is associated with my earliest memory. I remember being in the car with my mom. We were coming home from the grocery store. I had a kids size box of Mr Salty pretzel sticks and this song was on the radio.
Same here with an early memory of a Paul McCartney song. Sitting in front of the television with my mouth open watching "We All Stand Together". It also helped that the video is a cartoon ;)
To call Paul McCartney a musical genius would be an understatement. The man is a music machine. When you think of his catalogue and all of the songs that he had a part in, it's truly astounding.
Sir Paul McCarthy has written or co written 25 #1 pop songs. That accomplishment will be tough to beat.
Biggest music legend alive today in my opinion
Just a minor point. In the same vein that you would not call the band THE Creedence Clearwater Revival, Pauls group is not THE Wings, but simply Paul McCartney and Wings.
Agreed
@@bgallagher8129 I thought I was going crazy. Didn’t they have an album WINGS where it was repeated on the cover?
I hope Paul will live forever. Its so comforting he is still around. The day this man dies, will be one of the sadest days of my life.
McCartney, one of the few musicians that can put three transitions into a single song in a manner of minutes…the man is a musical god

Theirs was an epic love story.
no she wasn'r hahahahaha
@@ericlennert6883 ummmmmm, original band member, stayed through all personnel changes. Care to explain?

I was going to say the same thing. Hand picked by Paul as a backup for songs he had (or was going to) write.
Denny Laine had formerly been a member of the Moody Blues.
Venus and Mars is likely my favorite Wings album. That said yes he, Linda and Denny had a revolving door on other members but there were recorded lp's with few line-up changes, typically the lead-guitarist and/or drummer.

I’m so glad someone takes about Linda. Paul’s love of his life! Lost too young.
people are probably already blowing you up about "the wings". The name of the group is Paul McCartney and Wings. Thanks for posting great songs.
One of my favourite Wings songs, it’s like three different songs 🎶❤️
I like your videos. I'm 68 and grew up with The Beatles and McCartney. So nice to see appreciation for all the music.
Please please react to Paul McCartney's "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" you will love it! "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-five" is a banger too!
Great suggestions!
Add "Jet" to the list and you are set....
"Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-five" has become one of my favourite Wing's songs!! I love the live version from an LA concert! Great idea for sure! Cheers!
How about adding in the song Billy Don't be a Hero?
Two Great Songs!
"Silly Love Songs" by Sir Paul and Wings is an absolute must!!
No it's sappy
How about “Let ’Em In”?
Fun fact: Paul McCartney is the only person to have a number 1 single as a solo artist, duet (with Stevie Wonder), trio (Wings), quartet (I'll give you three guesses... lol), quintet (Beatles featuring Billy Preston), and as part of a collective (the charity single version of 'Ferry 'cross the Mersey')
That's never going to be beaten.
Neat bit of trivia !
Ebony and Ivory was done with Stevie Wonder
A live without Paul is no live, I am glad I live now
You must react to “My Love” by Paul &Wings. One of the most, beautiful romantic songs ever recorded. He sang it to his wife, Linda.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Ringo’s “Photograph” from his solo career is worth a listen.
Yes. Co-written by George Harrison.
You can´t deny Paul McCartney´s massive talent. After "The Beatles" he did it all again with "Wings". Amazing.
This is my very first record that I purchased with my own money when I was a kid, a 45 for eighty-five cents (plus tax), I was a very happy 3rd grader
Paul McCartney & Wings we’re huge in the 1970s. I recommend Silly Love Songs, Let’Em In, Helen Wheels, Goodnight Tonight, Listen to what the man says, and With A Little Luck next.
Also Check out Paul’s other gems…Coming Up, Dance Tonight, Take It Away, Little Woman Love, and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.
One of the bigger hits in the 70s was Feelings by Neil Sedaka.
Mull of Kintyre !!!!
Yes!! To all the above ... 😀
Great suggestions!!

Paul mccartney's the most prolific song writer that ever lived and that's a fact.
The way the song tells the story and you can feel the build up and release of tension throughout its stages :)
J & Amber, you'll love his "Silly Love Songs", "Jet" and "My Love"!!!
Jet is A GREAT song.
I also like the song from the movie Lethal Weapon 2.
Amber and J, next should be “Silly Love Songs.” You’ll get your strong bass and horns! Plus it’s just a wonderful song. “Maybe I’m Amazed” should be on your list too!
Maybe I'm amazed is an awesome song...one of my favs from him
I used to love playing this on guitar hero...lol
They already reacted to "Maybe I'm Amazed" about a year ago. Great reaction too! Jay and Amber were absolutely blown away (and amazed) by Paul's voice!😊🎶❤😽🍀
Yes yes, Silly Love Songs! That is right up their alley, I think they'll love it.
Maybe I'm Amazed
Linda sounds great on keyboards thanks to paul
McCartney not only holds the world record for selling the most albums ever, most number one singles but had a number one hit every year consecutively for 24 years on the trot and he's the most successful songwriter ever too.
You must react to “Maybe I’m Amazed” (studio version); it was on Paul’s first album after leaving the Beatles. It is an all time classic!
Maybe my favourite love song ever.
They already did- absolutely loved it.
@@ToniMcGinty I believe they've reacted to it already. 👍✌️🇨🇦
they did it - link here - ruclips.net/video/6r5YjSRKcVU/видео.html
@@marybaillie8907 That was Jason that requested it, not me. Easy mistake to make!
There are LOTS of Paul McCartney and Wings songs, and you'll see many of them mentioned in the comments. But one really good one that nobody mentions often is "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". It was Paul's first #1 hit after the Beatles broke up. And it's very quirky with interesting transitions. I think you'd love it...and nobody ever reacts to it. Give it a try!
I love "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey."
Absolutely, I've mentioned that one several times including somewhere here in the comments. I bet they would love that one.
"We're so sorry, Uncle Albert...but we haven't done a bloody thing all day..."
Absolutely!!! Love ❤️ uncle Albert!!!
Ditto. Uncle Albert is great 👍
The "ever get out of here" lines were basically from some things George said in the height of Beatlemania when they were touring and playing like 300 dates a year. Definitely the line "all I need is a pint a day" was.
I love the Beatles and don’t think there will ever be another group like them but I always think Wings were Paul’s celebration of no longer being a Beatle. Showcasing his absolute talent and total happiness at that time.
And his wife is blonde and she was in the band with them also
Linda McCartney ♥️♥️
Pulling together the best Cats for your band is easier when you're a Beatle, I reckon. Dennys Laine put in some time with the Moody Blues, I suppose he was fairly willing.
Celebration of your "not being a Beatle", or a Moody Blue, makes me think of Denny Laine's "Holly Days", which was produced by McCartney, and Lennon's "Rock And Roll", which was produced by Phil F ing Spector, both of these albums went back to the good old days of Buddy Holly and the single microphone in the room. 🎸Misspent youth.
I’m delighted that you’re doing more Beatles and Paul McCartney. I’m surprised that you haven’t done “Let it Be”! It is an absolute must! Keep em coming. 🌺✌️
I believe they did do Let it Be. In fact I think it was their 1st Beatles reaction. I wonder if it got taken down for some reason?
Should do the 2022 glastonbury festival version of Live and let Die
@@Stephanie-ik1vq I did a search and did not find it. If they did do it, it was taken down😢
These channels are at there best when they do up and coming bands who need the love. Paul McCartney doesn't need anymore pub. Legendary career
Let it be is my favorite Beatles song and one of my favorite songs ever it holds a very special place for me
Probably my favorite song by McCartney and Wings. His wife Linda was a band member with Wings. Loved how the tempo changed on this recording.
Lovely Linda
This is like 2 songs in 1... Great Song.
@@davidhiggins823 Three in one!
@@mikek5958 Like Admiral Halsey / Uncle Albert.
@@sourisvoleur4854 Yep.
No one will ever touch Paul!
October 24th, 1979 Paul McCartney Is Awarded A Rhodium Record By The Guinness Book Of Records, For Being The World's Most Successful Song Writer. From 1962 To 1978, McCartney Had Written, Or Co-Written 43 Songs That Had Sold Over 1 Million Each. and he was a Beatle...
Paul Jenny and Linda recorded this by themselves. Now they have a full band but when they recorded it was only the threeof them
Linda McCartney on keyboard was Paul's love of his life. Damn near broke him when she died. 😭❤️
Here’s an idea - combine your music interest and your movie channel for a single occasion and watch the Beatles “A Hard Day’s Night” movie. It was highly critically acclaimed and you’ll see them play a lot of their early songs in it too. Just another example of their tremendous impact and how incredibly popular they were- not many other bands, if any, made movies in those days.
Yes ☝🏼
ABSOLUTELY!!! What a great idea.
Watch all 5 of their movies in order. A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mysrery Tour, Yellow Submarine, and Let It Be. And then watch Across The Universe.
YES!!!!!!!!
"Who's that little old man? "
"He belongs to Paul."
In 2003 Paul and his new wife Heather Mills were vacationing in the North Lake Tahoe area. They showed up unannounced for dinner at Moody's Bistro and Lounge (part of the Truckee Hotel) in Truckee California. Paul was so cool that he sat in with the jazz trio and played a short set on his acoustic guitar. Can you imagine seeing Paul McCartney in a cafe setting with fewer than 100 people? He has so pleased with his reception that he arranged with the owner to come back the next year as long as it was kept a total secret from everyone including the same trio that was playing a year later.
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five
Let Me Roll It
Such a great song. The vocals are outstanding as per usual. I was thinking of how many Beatles song have various tempos in them. Like 2 or 3 songs in one.
Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Fully agree. I've been hoping one of these reviewers would do Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five for a couple of years now.
Nineteen Hundred Eighty Five is a wicked cool song. Love it!
+1 for 1985. "She may be right, she may be fine, She may get love, But she won't get mine, Cause I got you."
This whole album is just 100% solid.
The live versions seem to get better with each concert. Let Me Roll It has always been one of favorites. Thanks for mentioning it!
Just saw him in Orlando, Fl. Still killing it at 80! Plays 3 hours & never leaves the stage. Magic!
❤️❤️❤️ AMAZING!
Best album of McCartney's solo career. Another great cut from this album is "Jet." It's very powerful.
I was fortunate to see him a few years back in New Orleans and I can say, without a doubt, was the best concert I attended in my life. He performed for nearly three solid hours with about a single ten minute break. He was 76 at the time. Truling amazing!!
Seen him twice myself. He is a national treasure. Long live Sir Paul!
He took a break? I’ve seen him many times, and the band took a break, but he didn’t. 10 years ago the concerts were 3:15, but more recently they are a bit shorter.
Paul and John were so different musically but together they were magical - pure genius
I liked them much more separate. Especially McCartney. Lenon's songs, especially with The Beatles, give me headaches every time. McCartney's solo work was his best and it was uplifting.
Don't forget Silly Love Songs, my personal favorite and it was on heavy rotation on AM radio
@@merlball8520that’s certainly an opinion
Paul and Denny
@@merlball8520😂😂
You really can't go wrong with Paul McCartney and Wings. A literal smorgasbord of tasty music.
Wings was a group formed by Paul with his wife Linda & Denny Laine (founder member of Moody Blues 1964 to 1966, singing lead on their 1st big hit "Go Now")
Paul's concert in Moscow featured a largely forgotten rocker 'I saw her standing there' with six year old Russians singing the words to a song written in 1964!
When Paul left the Beatles, he produced his own solo album under his name. He then formed the band Wings and recorded at least two more albums under that name alone. Paul didn't join a band named Wings, he created the band. His wife, Linda, played keyboards, he recruited the guitarist from the Moody Blues, and then went through several other guitarist and drummers. But for the first two albums the band was just known as Wings. Everybody knew that Paul fronted the band. After a while it became Paul McCartney AND Wings, and then Paul just performed under his own name again and the Wings name just faded away. Wings was mostly British, although Linda was American.
Just as Steely Dan is Donald Fagan and Walter Becker and a rotating supporting cast, so Wings is Paul and Linda and Denny Lane and a rotating supporting cast.
The second album, Red Rose Speedway was Paul McCartney and Wings too because the first album Wings' Wild Life didn't sell that well. Denny Laine, from the Moody Blues was their lead singer as well. He had a hit with them called Go Now. He left the Moody Blues after one album. He sang a few songs in Wings too but none of the hits.
@@sourisvoleur4854 For the first two Steely Dan albums, Steely Dan was a full band.
@@debjorgo Yeah, I went and read the wiki about them because my memory was faulty. I think through much of the 70s, the albums at least just listed the band as Wings, but they were introduced as Paul McCartney and Wings. There was a lot of interchangeability between the two names. I think when Denny left is when it just became Paul McCartney.
McCartney did two solo albums before he formed Wings. Second album was "Ram" in 1971.
Paul was very much a family man, which is why he had his wife Linda as part of the group. They also toured with all their kids because they didn't want to leave them behind for months on end. So the kids came with them and they always managed to spend time with all of them which I think is a very precious quality of Pauls. Wings was huge in the 70s, my only regret was never seeing them live.
I loved the fact that they always made sure to take their kids with them. They also lived in a very small house in the country and never had a nanny. Very down to earth family. Such a tragedy when his wife died. Then to go on to be taken advantage of by such a terrible person, Heather Mills(reminds me of Amber Heard). Those women seem to always get their hooks into the nice guys.
Amber is such a great listener and she's so good at articulating what she's hearing. Jay too of course but Amber is so descriptive and on point every time!
Amen!
Paul McCartney and Wings were a British-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney, his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine
WITH A LITTLE LUCK, is a fun , calming, positive song, that know one ever talks about , came out in 1978, I remember buying the album with that on it. Wings is Paul , his wife Linda on Keyboard, and different artists over the years playing drums and guitar. For John Lennon a must song is WOMAN or WATCHING THE WHEELS
Great album also. The London town album. Lots of good tunes. Probably my second favorite album after RAM.
With a Little Luck is a wonderful song!!
Agree, love all 3
I remember my cousin and I going to by Double Fantasy. So many great songs on that album! A Little Luck is one of my favs too
I would highly recommend the song “Jet” by Wings as well for a great upbeat jam
If you ever watch the old Beatles videos, you will notice that Paul plays his bass the opposite direction of the other guys. He is left-handed and reversed the stringing of his guitar! His wife, Linda did a lot of the photography with the band, as she was a very talented photographer in her own right. Their daughter is the fashion designer, Stella McCartney! Talk about a talented family!! His late wife Linda was an animal-rights activist, but also wrote several cookbooks on vegetarian cooking.
You guys being such a cute couple together if you look you'll see Paul give Linda a grin while they're doing this concert. It's the cutest thing. Also I don't know if you do it but Google Rock Show
"Let Them In", "Rock Show", "Venus and Mars" are other great songs by Paul McCartney & Wings.
This whole album is great. One of my favorite things about Wings is the inclusion of Linda McCartney. She was a photographer, not a musician, and people gave Paul shit about putting his wife in the band, but he saw music as something you do for fun with your friends and he wanted a strong family so he handed Linda a tambourine and taught her some keyboards and they had 30 wonderful years together.
I have this strange feeling that Paul loved Linda very, very much.
@@ginamplm if that’s true.. kudos to her.. that and Listen To What The Man Said are my 2 favorite
@@ginamplm but... I think I read that Linda was supposed to get co writing credits for Another Day.. then something about a Twiggy special and them being sued... anyone else heard that?
I bet that Linda inspired quite a few of their songs.. she was also a photographer before and a vegetarian cook book author after... Linda had her talents 😉
@@ginamplm I did not know that! AHhhh, that adds a lot to the song. 👏❤️
In my humble opinion, Sir Paul McCartney is the greatest and most influential popular songwriter in the modern pop era.
Paul was in a magical space at the time with his wife/soul mate, Linda McCartney. He was never same after she passed from cancer.
Paul has always been my favorite Beatle. His solo output is absolutely amazing. A true hitmaker. As far as love songs, "My Love", "Baby I'm Amazed", "Silly Love Songs" and "Bluebird" are sweet. I was too young to experience The Beatles when they were together, but I remember Paul's career with Wings very well. These songs bring back memories of a very happy childhood.
it's "Maybe I'm amazed"
@@keithrfield Yes, of course. This is what happens when you type too quickly and hit "Reply". LOL. And "Baby I'm Amazed" is my favorite too!
@@kellyreiterman for me it's the voice to text. That thing is embarrassing if I push the reply button without proofreading! Lol
@@magneto7930 I bet! This is a reason for me not to try voice to text! I'm a stickler for proofreading so you can imagine how I hate when I miss something I've written! LOL.

The whole *Band* *on* *the* *Run* album is a *MASTERPIECE!!!* 👍🎶❤😎 Please react to the rest of the songs from this album. Here's the track order from the LP: Side One: 1) Band on the Run, 2) Jet, 3) Bluebird, 4) Mrs. Vanderbilt 5) Let Me Roll It. Side Two: 1) Mamunia, 2) No Words, 3) Helen Wheels, 4) Picasso's Last Words (Drink To Me), 5) Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five. I guarantee you will love this album!!! BTW, the 25th Anniversary release has a 2nd disc with 21 additional tracks.
Would love to see them react to each side of the Band on The Run album. Incredible, classic album!
A great, great album. The best post_Beatles solo album IMO.
@@timwhitnell7145 Better than anything they produced as The Beatles imo.
Every song is like no other... Amazing album! ❤️❤️❤️
@@wespinter240 ME TOO!!
The album cover was iconic in itself. The convicts in the spotlight were huge names in showbusiness.
My favourite Wings song I just love Sir Paul still so very handsome ❤️❤️
Don't underestimate George Harrison's solo career, very , very good !!
"Thirty Three & 1/3" - 1976
Yes! George is my favorite Beatle.
Yes indeed. I love his songs Photograph and It Don't Come Easy.
@@dunhill1 Those are Ringo Starr songs.
@@sunnyd4734 Oops, correct. I meant songs like "My Sweet Lord" and "Got My Mind set on You." There we go...
Played this song a month ago with Dave Grohl during a 3hour set at the Gladstonbury festival at age 80. Still rocked
I have the entire Glastonbury concert on DVD!! IT'S FANTASTIC!!
Dave Grohl performed this in front of Paul and Barack Obama (and stevie wonder plus a few others) at the white house. An amazing rendition.
Wings was Paul and Linda McCartney with Denny Laine (from the Moody Blues) and a variety of guitarists and drummers. Some were British and some were American. Basically, Paul wanted to work with a group and wanted to work with his wife. They had a good run in the 70s until the early 80w. For the fashionistas out there, the little blond girl in the video is the fashion designer, Stella McCartney. Paul and Linda's youngest daughter.
I enjoy watching Amber , looks like she flows with the music , and Jay has this bobbel head thing going on in every vid
"Sitting in the back seat of my car" is another McCartney composition of the likes only he coild have created. Naughty innuendo, incredible instruments, vocals, tongue in cheek.
Wings was hand picked by Paul to be his backing band in the 70s. The core members were himself, his wife Linda on keys, and lead guitarist Denny Laine. In fact, this entire album was recorded by just the three of them. Paul played over half of the instruments on this, including some of the guitars, keys, synth, and all the bass and drums.
Denny Laine
Denny Laine.
@@krkhns Saw him just recently in an “oldies” type show with Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, and a couple others. They did “Band on the Run.”
@@martinmosteller5813 Saw the same show at The Grove in Anaheim, CA. Here's a funny - His real name is Brian Hines. He's from Birmingham, England. My last name is Hines and my father's family is from Birmingham.
@@hamsternibbler5582 so corrected
Paul and John were the two main singers of the Beatles. All of the Beatles found success on their own after the split. My favorite Paul songs post Beatles are "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Jet". As a Beatle, I loved his early love songs and his later songs like "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude".
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and we just called them, Paul MaCartney and Wings.
This song is from my Childhood . In my soul ..I’ve never stopped listening. I’m 54.. this still gives me chills
Yes, I've been waiting for this! At this point Wings were just a three-member band featuring Paul McCartney and his wife Linda and Denny Laine. Paul played most of the instruments on this song. If you like songs with these multi-segments you need to check out Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul Mccartney. You will love that one!
Uncle Albert! It exploded on the music scene as a completely different novel sound and composition. We were looking for an alternative to the acid rock that was becoming a pro-drug scene - music we could ALL listen to and enjoy. People were coming to terms with the dangers of drug use as so many pop culture icons were dying of overdoses. Plus - music was more accessible (finally) and with the exposure, people were looking for more interesting music and wanted to explore if rock could fit into the classical music structure with modern instruments - a'la the Who and Pinball Wizard/Rock Operas. Few people realize that most Beatles music follows an abbreviated 3 and 4 movement symphonic format, just like Mozart and Beethoven. Freddy Mercury was the guy who brought operatic voice, unapologetically, to rock music. If you're on a musical journey, find out more about composition and how writers put this stuff together!
When I saw Wings in Atlanta, they also had Jimmy McCulloch on guitar and Joe English on drums, plus a horn section! Awesome!
They always had a drummer. Not just three people. Denny Seiwell was one.
@@unclebobunclebob Paul is playing the drums in "Band on the Run." For the recording of this song, it was just Paul, Linda and Denny Laine.
@@unclebobunclebob just three people on Band On the Run, Paul, Linda, and Denny.
They are just called ‘Wings’, the blonde in the video is his wife Linda who eventually became a part the band. He lost her to cancer. ‘Mull Of Kintyre (where they lived in Scotland) was a big hit for them as was ‘Silly Love Songs.’ The Frog Chorus and Paul McCartney - ‘We All Stand Together’ would probably amuse your children.
This is how this song was written,
Paul : "Alright, You guys ready to write a song? I have 3 different songs that I want to cram together into one. They don't go together, but all 3 melodies are so good that everyone will wish we would have written all 3 songs for the rest of time."
An outstanding classic. It's effectively three songs in one.
While all four did have successful solo careers, in terms of chart success Paul was the best, and it's not even close.
Agreed, Paul had excellent success solo and had the most hit songs. But personally for me, George Harrison had the best solo album with All Things Must Pass.
A lot of Paul songs are like that. Paul is so creative that he didn't mind "wasting" three phenomenal song melodies into one song that lesser artists would've miserly made into three songs. He knew there would be more brilliance along soon.
Who knows what great music John had planned for us. We were robbed. RIP JOHN 🙏✌🌻🌻
@@oldeskoolnana7543 John Lennon was NOT ONLY a GREAT musician but an OUTSTANDING Human Being.
@@rodhubbard6320 Let's not go crazy. Lennon was an awful human being, especially to his first-born child and former wife. At best Lennon was trying to be better toward the end, but overall he was really a piece of garbage. Paul went out of his way to support Julian because John was such a self-absorbed neglectful asshole. Great musician, though.
I always knew them as Paul McCartney and Wings, not the Wings, and they are his band that he formed with wife, Linda in 1971! This is a classic song! I love see the old clips if he and his wife Linda, whom he lost to breast cancer in 1998! ❤️❤️
Spot on! And his brave wife Linda what an inspiration. She fought so hard! (Tears). Paul loved her so very much. Puts the term soul mates to the highest level. As a musician and Beatles fan thank you for your comment and rest in peace to our Rockstar sister Linda McCartney.
No, wrong. Wings are Paul and Denny Laine. Denny Laine is a wonderful musician, not "part of band"
@@brenod8821 his wife Linda was in the band! I hate a know it all! Go away troll!
Thanks for telling them "Wings, not the Wings" because it was driving me crazy!
They went under the name Paul McCartney & Wings at first,but later it became just Wings. Denny Laine was the guitarist. Linda was also part of the group,and I remember Spitting Image,in one of its more vicious recurring jokes,kept taking the P out of her perceived lack of musicianship mercilessly in the 80s. She was a photographer by trade when they got together.
Paul McCartney and the wings. Yes indeed.
The woman in the band is Paul's late wife Linda.RIP LINDA.
The final song on this album is amazing - “let me roll it” - Paul doing a VERY good John Lennon imitation.
Absolutely, especially at the VERY VERY END!!
Paul's wife and his love of his life wife Linda was in this it.His wife was his inspiration for Paul McCartney and Wings.
Silly Love songs is a great one.
I heard an interview of Paul where he said that when the Beatles broke up he felt quite insecure and didn’t know what he was going to do without his bandmates after years of being in that one band. He formed a new band and named it wings because it was like a parachute or security blanket to help him move on and feel supported.
I love that his wife Linda was in the band and performed and toured with him rather than be apart. They had a very happy marriage. So sad she died.
Check out Paul’s solo version of Eleanor Rigby and his Eleanor’s Dream, a newer sort of extension of the original song. They were featured in his film Give my regards to Broad Street. In addition to a victorian double date with Ringo and wife, it shows a dreamlike Linda on a horse. She looks like a fairytale princess or angel. I think it shows how he saw her and adored her. They showed how good a marriage can be.
Eleanor Rigby & Eleanor’s Dream

Linda on horseback at 7:30
Paul said in an interview once that Rock music was the Classical music of our time. These are called movements in music.
Heather Mills tried to join the Beatles . She was told she didn't have a leg to stand on . From what I heard she had a right knees up . 😂
First off-it's not "The Wings" it's just "Wings". Yes it's one of my favorite songs by them, also check out Medicine Jar and Venus And Mars. The guitarist was Denny Laine who was also an original member of The Moody Blues, really good under rated guitarist. You guy's need to do some Ringo Starr, mainly Photograph or It Don't Come Easy and The No No Song, that one is pretty funny.
Thank you. I always get annoyed when someone adds a "the" that doesn't belong. May be silly, but, hey.
Edited to add: thoroughly agree with the Ringo Starr suggestion.
Lol, before I scrolled to comments I was correcting Jay out loud. 🤣
After his first two solo albums Paul yearned to be in a band again so he formed Wings. The members were constantly changing but two members remained constant, Linda and Denny Laine, a founding member of The Moody Blues… A saw a comment requesting The Beatles’ Helter Skelter. That is must! Thanks.
Good to see youngens like y'all dig the old music. It's the best for real.
Paul really was a creative genius. Such variety and good feelings in his songs. He really paints beautiful pictures with his music and lyrics. The surprise switch up in this tune is a neat element that work well too. These tune brings back great memories.
He still is.
Baby i'm AMAZED AT YOU-SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY
Paul’s songs, Band on the Run and Jet, are 2 of my all time favorites.
One of the best songs! The music that hits with The Band on The Run chorus its one of the happiest sounds in the world to me.
“If I ever get out of here” is a quote from George Harrison during a Beatles business meeting in 1969
So cute, making me smile with "the" wings......love all your reactions!
I just saw Sir Paul here in Baltimore in June. This was one of the nearly 40 songs he played, and he had the entire Camden Yards up and dancing with this song.
Transitions are part of what made the great bands so great. The Beatles did it a lot, and so did Queen. I'm sure there are other bands that did this but those two and of course McCartney's Wings stand out to me the most.
Paul's band (Wings) included his wife Linda (a well-known) photographer) and I love all the footage of him, Linda and their children. Paul absolutely loved Linda. Unfortunately, she passed away from cancer at a young age.
It was good to relive memories of my youth, and seeing Linda.
Such a great song... so timeless, and such a great storytelling song. You've got to listen to two other songs from the Band on the Run album: Jet and Let Me Roll It.
This song is associated with my earliest memory. I remember being in the car with my mom. We were coming home from the grocery store. I had a kids size box of Mr Salty pretzel sticks and this song was on the radio.
Same here with an early memory of a Paul McCartney song. Sitting in front of the television with my mouth open watching "We All Stand Together". It also helped that the video is a cartoon ;)
I was given this 45 on my 12th birthday. Great memories.
You should do "Beware My Love" - Paul's vocals are over the top!
