McCartney Paul

<b>A landmark account of Paul McCartney's triumphant musical reinvention in the 1970s and the rise of one of the decade's most iconic bands<br/></b><br/>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 <i>Band on the Run</i>, <i>Venus and Mars </i>and <i>At the Speed of Sound</i>, along with the band's stadium-filling live shows, would prove to critics and fans that not all great acts are impossible to follow. <i>Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run</i> is a rousing, stereophonic celebration of the songs, collaborations and performances that would shape the soundtrack of the late 20th century.<br/><br/>Drawn from over 500,000 words, based on dozens of hours of interviews with McCartney and numerous key players in the band's orbit, <i>Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run </i>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.
