Book
Wings : the story of a band on the run : an oral history / Paul McCartney ; edited by Ted Widmer.
As the Sixties came to a close, Paul McCartney was faced with the daunting prospect of being a solo artist for the first time. Wings' ascension to the top of the charts with classic albums including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars and At the Speed of Sound, along with the band's stadium-filling live shows, would prove to critics and fans that not all great acts are impossible to follow. Drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with McCartney and numerous key players in the band's orbit, this book weaves together the improbable trajectory of Paul McCartney and his newly formed band (featuring co-founding members Linda McCartney and Denny Laine) across the technicolor 1970s until their dissolution in 1981.
