(‘wings’ were an ‘anglo-american rock band’ formed in 1971 by former beatle ‘paul mccartney’ with his wife ‘linda’ on keyboards, session drummer ‘denny seiwell’, and former ‘moody blues’ guitarist ‘denny laine’)
.
(‘wings’ were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as ‘commercial success’, going through ‘3 lead guitarists’ and ‘4 drummers’)
(however, the core trio of the ‘mccartneys’ and ‘laine’ remained intact throughout the group’s existence and ‘mccartney’ continued playing ‘bass’ and other assorted instruments, just as he had done with ‘the beatles’)
(created following the mccartneys’ 1971 album ram, the band’s first 2 albums, wild life and red rose speedway (the latter featuring guitarist ‘henry mccullough’), were viewed as ‘artistic disappointments’ beside paul mccartney’s work with ‘the beatles’)
(after the release of the ‘title track’ of the ‘james bond’ movie live and let die, ‘mccullough’ and ‘seiwell’ resigned from the band)
(the ‘mccartneys’ and ‘laine’ then released 1973’s band on the run, a commercial and critical success that spawned 2 ‘top 10’ singles in “jet” and the ‘title track’)
(following that album, the band recruited guitarist ‘jimmy mcculloch’ and drummer ‘geoff britton’, only for ‘britton’ to quit shortly afterwards and be replaced by ‘joe english’)
(with the new line-up, ‘wings’ released venus and mars, which included the US #1 single “listen to what the man said”, and undertook a highly successful ‘world tour’ over ‘1975’ – ‘1976’)
(intended as more of a ‘group effort’, wings at the speed of sound was issued midway through the tour and featured the hit singles “silly love songs” and “let ’em in”)
(in 1977, the band earned their only UK #1 single, with “mull of kintyre”, which became the then-best selling ‘UK single’ in history)
(‘wings’ experienced another line-up shuffle, however, with both ‘mcculloch’ and ‘english’ departing before the release of the group’s 1978 album “london town”)
(the ‘mccartneys’ and ‘laine’ again added new members, recruiting guitarist ‘laurence juber’ and drummer ‘steve holley’)
(the resulting album (‘back to the egg’) was a relative ‘flop’, with its singles under-performing and the critical reception negative)
(during the supporting tour, ‘paul mccartney’ was arrested in ‘japan’ for ‘cannabis possession’, putting the band on hold)
.
(despite a final US #1, the live version of mccartney’s solo single “coming up”, ‘wings’ broke up permanently in ‘1981’)
