Paul McCartney The Wings Years 1970-1981

Paul McCartney The Wings Years 1970-1981

After the Beatles' official breakup in April 1970, Paul McCartney quickly wanted to surround himself with musicians again. Alongside his wife Linda, he formed the band Wings in the summer of 1971 and returned to the stage to win back his audience. Within a few years, he would succeed in his extraordinary venture, propelling his band to the top with the phenomenal American tour of 1976. Despite frequent lineup changes, McCartney kept Wings at the top of the charts until the dawn of the 1980s. This book recounts the musical journey of Wings, with the ongoing hope of an impossible Beatles reunion, until the assassination of John Lennon on December 8, 1980. French author Dominique Grandfils has shared his passion for music since 1987, first on the radio and then in print media. He has published several works on Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Billy Joel, Hall and Oates, and Cat Stevens. He also authored Anthologie du rock français and Gravé dans le Rock , the ultimate synthesis of rock thought. Find Dominique Grandfils on Maccaclub, a French website dedicated to Paul McCartney.
