    Quincy Jones never never influenced McCartney at that time, McCartney himself wrote this song which by the way was written towards Lennon because Lennon had commented that McCartney the only thing he wrote were stupid love songs, that's why he wrote it.Many details in this song, McCartney's bass is sensational, the piano harmonies as well and what to say about the choirs at the last where he assembles the three phrases, the entrance of the small sax solo, with only the background of the drums and bass .The use of the orchestra in the seventies was vital until the eighties arrived, but in the seventies everyone made very good arrangements that is the difference mainly from the seventies and eighties.

  • @1nelsondj
    @1nelsondj 3 года назад +16

    Paul was the most natural musician in The Beatles, one of those people that can pick up any instrument and in an hour know how to play it. He learned a lot from Beatles producer George Martin who knew about classical music, composition and orchestration. After the group broke up he was the most prolific of the 4.
    After a couple of solo albums he decided to call his group Wings, on this album and the previous one he allowed other members to take lead vocal on a track or 2 but that didn't last. It was always HIS group, Eventually he just started recording under his own name using studio musicians.
    Yes this is the sort of slick pop song Lennon shied away from but I think there was some jealousy there too. Paul always had a way with a melody (you can hear it in his bass playing) whereas John was more of a wordsmith. He also didn't like medleys the way Paul does, this song is almost a medley the way he introduces the vocal lines in the breaks then overlays them.

    Paul was always derided as the 'sentimental' one in the Beatles, Lennon was thought to be more edgy. But in the 60's it was Paul who was the more avant garde one, listening to Stockhausen, and he was heavily involved in the counterculture. I would recommend Maybe I'm Amazed. It was from his first solo album, it was a live version from the album Wings Over America that charted in the UK, but either version is great. As far as Wings are concerned there's so many songs, Jet, Band On The Run (the whole album is great), Live And Let Die (a Bond Theme), which you probably know from the Guns N Roses cover. Of course Linda was in the band as well and Denny Laine the guitarist , who was originally in the Moody Blues, (he's singing on the Moody's first hit Go Now), but left them before they went in a prog direction.

    Sir Paul could do no wrong in the seventies after The Beatles.

    This song reminds me of the summer of my freshman yr of high school. It was all over the radio that summer. Wings were a great band and it allowed Paul McCartney to stretch out and develop his own sound away from the Beetles. Live and let die is another great song to react to at some point.

    Paul has always had an excellent voice and he sounds great in this particular song. Great reaction. Let's face it, members of the Beatles, individually and as a group changed the course of music forever………most bands in the 70's and 80's were influenced by them in some way. Even if there not your favourite band there's a good chance they're one of your favourite bands favourite band.

  • @strathman7501
    @strathman7501 Год назад

    A couple of points re your questions: This was produced by McCartney, and his arrangement evolved while coaching the band through it in the studio. He got one of his horn players, Tony Dorsey, to write out the string parts for the orchestra, and McCartney suggested what he wanted for the distinctive horn parts but allowed the players to work them out for themselves.

    Hey - Wings ! - Wow ! You have a very very long and winding road to go down with Paul. So much brilliant music awaits. Paul made all the musical arrangements. His experience in The Beatles working with George Martin held him in good stead. He is an icon and his success with Wings was a very brave step to take. How do you follow The Beatles ? Well he did ! - Omg, "Band On The Run" is an absolute must guys ! ! ! I could write a long list you will get lost in .... so I'll just start with that track. Stunning ! - His marriage to Linda before she died, was like no other. From the day they married, there was never a day they were not together by each others side. How cool was that ? Great reaction thankyou.

  • @clayadkins9305
    @clayadkins9305 3 года назад +2

    Haven't read all the comments, but that is definitely Paul on bass and original arrangement by him. I was 13 when this came out❤. He wrote it in response to John Lennon's remarks about Paul and his silly love songs after the Beatles broke up in 1970. Paul felt slighted by the remark and for sure got his revenge with this classic. Paul's wife Linda sang and played keyboard in Wings. They also had many other hits you should check out here or on your own. Look up Rockshow by Wings. Great concert footage from Madison Square Garden 1980. Paul really bounces on that bass and you can see the joy on his face that was missing the last couple years of the Beatles.

    It's nice to see you react to a Wings song. I've never listened to a Wings album, but my favourite singles of theirs are "Live and Let Die" (which was the theme song for the James Bond film of the same name), Jet and Band on the Run. Linda's untimely death in 1998 was very sad, not least because she'd launched a range of vegetarian and vegan food at a time when there wasn't a huge amount available. The brand still exists today.

    looking for songs by Paul McCartney is the first time I see you
    I am a great admirer of the eternal Beatle, and I had the great joy and excitement of seeing him in concert on his last visit to my country Argentina in 2019
    After the dissolution of The Beatles, it was Paul McCartney the last to decide his career, and after some solo album and with his wife Linda, he formed the group Wings, which was really very good, and had great successes.
    "Silly love songs"
    is the best demonstration of what Paul McCartney can do:
    an almost silly and irrelevant letter that at the same time is a manifesto to love, and to his faith in love; an attractive and cheerful music, his versatile voice (one of the three best in rock & pop), very good arrangements and choirs ...
    it's really a fantastic song, it was # 1 in America and # 2 in England
    Paul McCartney is with John Lennon the most important singer-songwriter in the history of rock & pop; some of his masterpieces from his post Beatles stage:
    Maybe i'm amazed
    My love
    Live and let die
    Band on the run
    Venus and Mars
    Silly love songs
    Mull of Kintyre
    My brave face
    Hope of deliverence
    Pipes of peace
    I would like you to continue with the songs of Paul McCartney
    I suggest: "Band on the run"

    After Paul left The Beatles, he made a bunch of great songs; however, when I first heard this song back then, I hated it. I thought it was way too sappy, but it was a huge hit and I heard it all the time. Wouldn't you know it, after a while it began to grow on me. Now, I consider the song a classic. Do I like other songs by him better? Yes. Like, "Band On the Run," and "Live and Let Die." Both of which you'll love, and they are harder rock, much edgier than this song, which I now love.

    In praise of the Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar: both Paul McCartney and Chris Squire (Yes) used it, Squire until he died and McCartney from the mid-1960s to around 1980. But you can hear how, tonally, the Rickenbacker bass could sound so different depending on who played it. Squire had that in-your-face treble tone, whereas McCartney's sound was more traditional, but you can still hear that metallic "bite." I bought a Rickenbacker because of Squire but I can't get his tone, am happy sounding more like McCartney though.

    If you were alive in the late 70’s this song was unavoidable. It stayed at the #1 spot almost the entire summer of 1976 in the US and many other countries. It coincided with Paul McCartney’s first tour of the US since the Beatles last tour in 1966 and he sold out stadiums everywhere. It was filmed you can get the dvd called “Paul McCartney & Wings Rock Show”. In the late 70’s disco music was HUGE, but rock and roll people hated it. Paul did take some abuse for doing a disco song, but it was also such a great song that eventually even the rock and roll fans loved it.
