Paul McCartney: Bass, drum, and vocal track to "Silly Love Songs" (1976)

[A.K.]

No guitar or horns. Interesting stuff.

 

[ElectroVibe]

The music of God.

 

[Lee Moses]

That's always been my favorite McCartney bass line.

That's always been my favorite McCarney bass line.

"Goodnight Tonight" is another funky one that I like a lot. Can't find an isolated track for it, though.

 

[tfer]

Much better when the drums are there.

Good stuff. Though I do miss Linda's contributions here...let the flaming begin...

Her singing was a big part of the '70s Wings sound. I like her backing vocals a lot.

Some of her iso's from a live soundboard are out there. Ooohfa.

I know! In the studio, her background vocals could be really effective. Live, it was hit or miss at best.

In her defense, though, she had never played a musical instrument until Paul insisted she learn elementary keyboards. Also, she had never sang in public until he insisted she be part of Wings. She was like his musical security blanket, and even though she clearly wasn't enthusiastic about it, she joined his band to make him happy.

The home demo version of this song is out there too. Just paul, linda, and keys

 

[Soren1]

That is one of the few songs where my leg starts bouncing from the groove. A great song to play.

Another Day bassline fan here. But my fave Macca tunes to play are Listen To What The Man Said and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.
