If I could like this like I do on Facebook, I would. :P
Paul McCartney & Wings (or just simply, Wings) formed in 1971 after The Beatles broke up in '70. This 'project' started with McCartney's 3rd post-Beatles release, "Wild Life"; it was under the name Wings, & they were McCartney & his wife, Linda; drummer Danny Seiwell; & guitarists Hugh McCracken & David Spinozza, & they kept this line-up until '74. In that time, they released two more albums; & in '72, they made the theme song for the James Bond movie "Live & Let Die" (the song was produced by George Martin - The Beatles' producer for a number of their records including Sgt. Pepper's). Their first US hit was "My Love" from the '73 album "Red Rose Speedway" & it made it to #1. They broke up as a band in 1981, a few years after another line-up change & more #1 hits. This song is from their '73 "Band on the Run".
