Lee, Paul in the mid sixties was the one going to events nightly in London. John and George and Ringo were married living in the suburbs. Paul was single , going steady with Jane Asher but single and was into modern classical music, when Yoko was in London in 1966 she was referred to Paul because he was known to be into advant-garde, and Paul does the tape loops for tomorrow never knows. In the early 1960’s the Beatles toured Scotland and they took stage names. Paul became Paul Ramon. Or Ram on. The Beatles have often been referred to as the first punk band before they were cleaned up by the manager. The punk band The Ramones were named to honor this. And you may find Lemmy’s comments ( from Motörhead)about the Beatles enlightening. Lenny used to go see them in the Cavern.

@alanstein5930 16 дней назад

1971 was an INCREDIBLY MAGNIFICENT year for music: Lennon's "Imagine", McCartney's "Ram", The Stones' "Sticky Fingers", The Who's "Who's Next", Derek & The Dominoes/Eric Clapton's "Layla", Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" (released in LATE 1970, but making its mark in 1971), and too many more to mention. It was a traumatic era but also a musically magical one, just as The 1960's had been. Lee, I think it's GREAT how you are open to loving music from before you were born. Here's a mindblower for you: I am M-U-C-H O-L-D-E-R than you (age 65) and I too love music from well before I was born. There is so much amazing music from the 1950's, for example, you would be AMAZED. And the 60's was so incredible that even relatively minor groups made classic records that, IMHO, are timeless classics (here's one TINY example: The Vogues' "5 0'Clock World". I really appreciate that you FEEL the music. I was only 11 when The Beatles announced their breakup, and it was emotionally TRAUMATIC for a kid like me, who escaped into the magic of their music, partially to escape the chaos of my family. But when Lennon was murdered in 1980, when I was 21, it was DEVASTATING. It still gets to me sometimes. Anyway, I want to say that you're a young man with an old and empathetic soul. This is a quality of yours that I truly appreciate. Thank you for sharing who you are and what you've experienced. As human beings, regardless of our age, we're in the same boat when it comes to dealing with the rocking waves of life's turbulent times. With any luck, we'll all manage to get to our destinations in one piece. Take care and be well...

Hi, In reading your lovely comment, I suddenly realized that there's a musical gap between the Classical music of the 1800's and the Big Band music of the 1940's. We might rarely hear "Flapper music" from the 1920's, but by-and-large we never hear music from that period. I can surmise about Classical music having been put to paper and lack of recording equipment, but I wonder if there's another reason?

Uncle Albert / A.H. is, as you note, an example of Paul's tendency to be able to stitch song fragments into interesting compositions. It is what he helped John do for the second side of Abby Road, all of those song fragments were things John was banging his head against, they had not really been working well together for a while, but Paul more or less said, hey let's take all these cool little chunks you're got and make a medley. And it's one of the most evocative songs they ever did, IMO. The second side of Abbey Road is maybe my fave stuff they did, and it's a perfect example of a John and Paul collaboration, even if done in a bit of desperation. So you get songs like Band on the Run which have a bit of a feel of a medley, Paul did that quite a bit. Or Venus & Mars / Rockshow, etc. On the other hand, this also lead some people to feel like Paul's albums could be a bit 'half-baked' because a lot of the material would feel like song fragments that weren't fully realized.

The critics weren't impressed at first, but many of us were, and he continued to make many outstanding albums. And by the way, Lee, you really don't have to choose your favorite Beatle or your favorite Beatles song or album, etc. They were all great in their own way, and each one can be appreciated without ranking, though we probably all tend to think in the direction of who's number 1, etc. etc. ...when it comes to many things.

People are gonna tend to like the music of one more than the other. I tend to like John's vocals better in the Beatles. I also tend to like the songs he did with them more, too. Lee has said he likes John's songs a lot with the Beatles, too. There's nothing wrong with liking the music of one of them more than of others of them. Some people like George's music best, and I'm sure there are some who like Ringo's best too. It would be weird to not like the music of one of them a bit more or less than of the others. Lee's favorites song of the Beatles that he's heard is A Day in the Life. I can't choose a favorite, but every time I try, that one is up there, and most of the others are his too, like In My Life, Across the Universe, and so on.

I’ve never listened to Ram, I’ve only known Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey from the radio…Never heard of Ram On…discovered it along with Lee…Charming plunking of the uke, Paul’s soft voice, a heartbeat drum… It’s the sweetest song I’ve ever heard… like your mother’s first kiss…on your cheek… I love Paul McCartney so much! I imagine another magical Beatle tune if John could have added his acerbic touch and if George and Ringo could have infused their love into it, too. As it is now, it is beguiling! Give his heart soon right away is what Paul has always done for us. These are my favorite Paul songs.

Four distinctively creative guys, but I guess I've always been a sucker for Paul's schtick. His writing was more nostalgic than John's, and there are just so many more songs he did in my youth that I remember and stayed with me, such as Uncle Albert / Adm Halsey, which has always been a fave. Ram is a great album, I got it in HS and listened to it a ton. Ironically when I was in college I was at a bar with a woman I was seeing - who was 10 years older than me - and she insisted that Uncle / Adm. was a Beatles song and I was like 'nope, sorry hon', she was surprised. Thanks as alway, Lee. Keep up the great work.

When his first album "McCartney" that he played everything on was panned, he decided to go with studio musicians in hopes it would be better received. It wasn't--but time has shown it's one of his best albums, but really there's something in all of his albums. All four of them had very quirky senses of humor--it's why they got along so well.

"Ram On" sounds like a tribute to Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds in so many ways. Total Beach Boys vibe from that era. "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" is peak solo McCartney for me... This song is bursting with ideas most song-writers would kill for... and he puts them all in one song. Amazing.

"Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" Paul was playing around with several early 1930s (and late 1920s) music styles mixed together (you can almost see the 1920s male cheerleader wearing a beaver coat to the knees and yelling through the megaphone.) You can also see in your mind the 30s Art Deco club scenes with the bandleader waving the baton to a beat and some band members playing the coronet with the stem mute (with a lot of snare drum).

McCartney's influence by his Dad and aunties doing sing-alongs, going through all of these old show tunes gave McCartney a foundation to this style of music. There is this old world speaking through him, whether is Elenor Rigby, She's Leaving Home, or Ram On. You hear singing that sounds like crooners from the 1920-50. The Beatles tapped into their parent era and were able to channel it.

@gpxo11 13 дней назад

Uncle Albert/admiral Halsey was Paul's first number one as a solo artist. And that was just the tip of the iceberg for McCartney solo hits. He even made a hit out of a nursery rhyme-Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Wow I haven't heard Ram On since I was young. I always kind of liked it, but hearing it now as a musician of many years and being much older? It is so haunting and dreamlike. It's really a great little composition. Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey was such a huge hit when I was in grade school. It was on the radio constantly and we all loved it. At that age, we learned all the different parts and could do it and everybody would sing it on the playground and stuff. The Uncle Albert part I kind of snoozed on initially, but before long I realized I loved it. And as an adult of many years, I just think it's hilarious now. There's quite a bit of sarcastic commenting on British stiff upper lip society feeling, but it's done with such whimsy and humor and colorful musicality. Love it.

Back in the day, I do remember "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" being on the radio, and thinking that this is really different and interesting. There was a real Admiral Halsey during the Second World War. He was in the Pacific Fleet, and was known as "Bull".

@thomastimlin1724 12 дней назад

At the start of the new school year, Uncle Albert was #1 in 1971. In the cafeteria one day, some knucklehead started singing "Hands across the water" etc, our table joined in, and pretty soon almost the whole cafeteria was singing it for a minute, and we all laughed as, the cafeteria narc gave us all a dirty look. screw him, spoil sport....it's a fun song, about 4 songs in one. People who criticize it are afraid to have fun, they think everything has to make sense, or be heavy metal or not at all. Music can be anything and especially fun when it's ridiculous, and Paul knew that. It went to #1, you can't knock that.

I was 8 years old when Uncle Albert was a big hit on the radio, and at the time the voices and characters Paul did on the song reminded me of the songs that The Muppets used to sing on early episodes of Sesame Street. I still think of it as a kids' song. For me personally, Paul's solo stuff has always been hit and miss, but he definitely HIT on this one.

@marcribe6483 16 дней назад

No one ever considered this a great album. Critics actually panned it at the time although it has gained more admirers as the years progressed. The song "Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey" was Paul's first major hit worldwide after the break-up of the Beatles. The title characters are loosely based on real people. Paul commented that the song is slightly based on the idea of what that older generation would think of this new generation. The album is credited as 'by Paul and Linda McCartney' due to the then on-going lawsuit between the Beatles where all influx of Apple Core related cash by all four Beatles were being held in escrow while it was being decided what monies pertained to whom. By adding Linda's name as composer, the couple would have access to some of the royalties pertaining to this album quicker. The album closes with the song "Back Seat of My Car" which is closer to a Beatles Paul song than a solo Paul song, the differences becoming clearer by every album.

@@lauraallen55 I'd call it a minor hit as was Maybe I'm Amazed. Both were "rediscovered" later on after Wings became a more prominent band on the music scene (2nd half of the 70s). I don't think Another Day made it to the top 10 anywhere. I might be wrong because I don't really follow charts but I don't think I am.

Maybe I'm Amazed was released in April of '70 and made it to the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and Cashbox Top 100, as well as one of Canada's charts, although was not in the charts elsewhere apparently.

You should really try to catch Paul in Concert, preferably a Stadium Show. I built 2 of his Stages at Giants Stadium over the years. Standing in the Stage Right wing waiting fo the show to end was one of those "perfect moments" in my career as a Stagehand. I was working as a Prodction Climber, setting up and taking down the Video Projection screens and equipment. When the show ended I started climbing up the ,105ft Stage Right Tower, when I get hit from above with Hundreds of Gallons of Nasty Roof Skin water that had gathered in a pool and they had just dumped! Almost took me off the Tower!
