I just got back from Kintyre (2022). I couldn’t help but play Mull of Kintyre on my pipes on the Mull of Kintyre just after sunrise. The fog was rolling in from the hills and I frightened a few deer who ran off, but I’m glad I did it. My Dad always loved the tune, he’s been gone now for about 15 years but I’m sure he was watching. Cheers from Canada!
Denny Laine is one of the most important musical partners Paul McCartney has had since the Beatles and, in fact, gets little acknowledgement for his work with Wings and Paul McCartney. Denny is one of rock's great sidemen.
A great Scottish sing along tribute-hymn, as Paul hoped. & I often love bagpipes. This was the local Pipe band, Campbelltown, all the more fitting. As an American, I never heard of "Mull of Kintyre" till this past winter when I read the great McCartney bio, "McCartney." There's a "Mull of Kintyre" cheese too! Made in Campbelltown, Scotland. Excellent. Caught my eye in the Hannaford's supermarket specialty cheese section.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 Had some Mull of Kintyre cheese, earlier, with some good Scottish oatcakes. A lovely, tangy, slightly salty, cheddar type of cheese. If you look at the Mull, you'll realise why it gets it's flavour.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to say Rob🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. So I thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
@@dennylaine8735 I enjoyed this video. Curious, though. Exactly how was Mull of Kintyre written? What was your contribution? With the exception of a few smashing solos by Paul, the work of Wings was the best by far of Paul's post-Beatles work. Paul needs a steady band that contributes, like Wings. I'm also curious why you left the Moodies? Before or after the dynamic duo arrived which changed the entire mood of the Moodies? Still love "Go Now" by the way. Love the harmonies. Mull is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
Sad to know that yesterday was the day that you said farewell to the world, so now your gone, you’ve got your “wings”, so just “go now “, thank you for the musical memories Denny RIP 🙏🙏
Rip Denny.. I had no idea you had departed this Earth until now. Today I was lucky enough to visit Saddell Bay for the first time on Mull of Kintyre. As you can imagine as a fan it has been a pretty emotional day. The energy at the site of this video shoot is incredible. When your looking out to sea and then turn to face the house and you can visualise Paul playing his intro, Linda coming out of the house and then Denny appearing. I truly encourage any fan to visit this incredible site. Denny I felt your presence today as i walked in your footsteps. Rest well my Brother. 💗
Denny Laine is as important as any Beatle. I love his songs he contributed to the Wings catalog. Deliver Your Children, No Words, Spirits of Ancient Egypt are just a few that are amazing tunes!
Hey Danny thank you for the music , you were a big part and and a true artist and part of wings when I started to listen to the band even in my island of Sicily ( Italy). Thanks for the beautiful music you and Paul bring to the airwaves and the world. 🙏🏻.
krkhns YES!!!!! it did come from that album. Paul did have his arms crossed. Linda has her hands folded on his shoulders and Denny has his back leaning on Paul. I can remember some of the order of the songs. Mull Of Kintyre was last on the second side. Let Them In was the second song on side B. Uncle Albert was the third song, side B
Denny Laine is one of the absolute greats. I have been a fan since I was a kid (12) when Denny was playing with Paul McCartney and Wings. I remember having the Wings at the Speed of Sound album and on the back was a picture of each of the band members, particularly noticing Denny's very red eyes and grin. That was pretty funny. Great guitarist aad has played with some great bands and musicians.
Denny & Paul were a great singing duo. Their voices complemented each other very well. Much like Paul & John's voices but with a completely different tone & timbre.
Denny my man. A great guy, met him at the Iridium in 2019. Love his songs, especially again and again, Em F Bflat C.. such a lovely progression. Much love and best wishes from Brooklyn, Denny!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Julie🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
I saw Denny in concert right around the time of this interview (December 5th, 2019 in Sellersville NJ) and he played all his lead vocal songs of Wings - Again and Again and Again, Deliver your Children and he jammed them. Then he played the whole Band on the Run in running order. It was awesome.
Denny did that same show in Cleveland, Ohio and in Kent, Ohio. I have seen him 4 times in the last 7 years. It was FANTASTIC. They were very intimate venues, so not a HUGE crowd It was nice as we were able to talk with him each time he was here and had my pic taken with him each time. It was so nice because after the second time he remembered me. First time I saw his solo show it was on my actual birthday and my friend mentioned that. He said, "OH, well HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and then hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. He then went and gave me one of his solo CD's and signed it. I asked him what I owed him for it (cos they were selliing them there after the show, but I hadn't gone back to the table yet) and he told me, "Oh, it's a birthday present from me to you." I couldn't believe it, he DIDN'T have to do that. The second time I brought this "HOLLY DAYS" album with me to show him and he was surprised to see it, I think not many people had that album. It's a fantastic lp, it's Denny, Paul and Linda covering Buddy Holly songs. It's one of my favorite LPs He signed that one too, I LOVE Denny, very nice, down to earth guy, and he was very kind each time I saw him. LOVE HIS songs, especially DELIVER YOUR CHILDREN and especially "TIME TO HIDE" I LOVE that one!!!
@@patticrichton1135 I saw Denny during that tour as well. I've loved the "Mamunia/No Words" medley from "Band On The Run" ever since it came out in 1973, and it was awesome to see it played live. Also "Time To Hide" is an underrated rocker.
I had not realized after all these years that you and your mates had recorded 'GO NOW', with all the timeless songs from that time, that song always remains unique, touching on blues, jazz, well done!
He also wrote "Say You Don't Mind" a song made famous by Colin Blunstone. There is a completely bonkers promo (well it was '67), for Denny's original (on YT), where he is dressed as a Pepperish John Lennon, going crazy in a locked sheep fold in the middle of the country. A great song though......actually I'll go so far as to say an "under the radar" classic (esp. Colin's version).....
i saw Denny Laine and Steve Holley play a few years ago. i didn't know what to expect really. Denny is a great guitarist! he totally nailed it. i've always had a soft spot for Japanese Tears, the tune he wrote after Wings' cancelled tour because of Paul's weed bust. No Words is also fantastic. Denny doesn't have a lot of songs, but he has a couple of real winners. Say You Don't Mind, etc.

I remember when the single Mull of Kintyre was released and it sold out so fast that you couldn't find it in record stores the B-Side of the singe was a rocking song called Girls School the song kind of reminded me of Helen Wheels or Juniors Farm just one of those rocking songs that kicks. Great archive insight story given by Wings Denny Laine.
@@davidphilpott1509 Wow, a double A side. Man that 45 sold out so fast here in the U.S. and within two months of its release it was imposable to find. Three Cheers For The Girls !. Be Well...
@@seerstone8982 that was a few years up the line. This was a made for TV special. Jimmy was still in the band but they weren't all together for this I don't know whether Joe had left to go Bible thumping at this time or not in 78 I think he did
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist This video was recorded on Aug 9th 1977. The album London Town was released in 1977. Jimmy, and Joe did appear on song credit's, but were not featured on the album cover, because they had left the band.

I became interested in music right at the end of the Beatles, fortunately Ram came along, then Denny and Paul with Wings. Band on the Run album the first of my original few albums I collected. R.I.P. Denny. ❤
I was lucky enough to see Denny twice in a 3 year time frame in a small music venue in Knoxville. Very impressed that he was so happy to be playing live even in a small venue in America as an English artist. Got to hear this story of Mull Of Kintyre by him personally in a 100 member crowd!
My wife and I were at one of those shows. We sat in the front row and harmonized along with the band. We were so loud that Denny joked that our singing must have been because of the tradition of southern gospel singing. After the show, I told him that no, it was because we had listened to and sung along with Wings songs for 40 years! If you remember that part in the song "Richard Cory" where Denny sings "Oh, I wish that I could be..." and then he pauses, waiting for someone in the audience to continue, I'm the guy who shouted out "Johnny Denver"! If you don't get the reference, he said "Jonny Denver" instead of "Richard Cory" during their 1976 world tour as a humorous nod to Denver's current popularity and wealth. So when he did the song in his recent shows, he paused at that moment to see if an audience member would shout the line.
@@NYCgirl927 The guy you're responding about isn't a scammer. I went to the same show he did. In fact, here's a video of that tour. Former Wings drummer Steve Holley is on drums here as well: th-cam.com/video/F-zP8BmIW3Y/w-d-xo.html
I had a book called "Denny Laine's Guitar Book" from the late 70's (my college girlfriend stole it) -best book I had to get started on guitar. Denny Laine was great with Wings; the "Over America" one of the greatest live LP's and the Back To The Age was fabulous. Was lucky to Catch Denny Laine at Baystreet in Sag Harbor last winter; so glad I got to see him perform

Paul said one reason he picked Denny for Wings is because Denny didn't put him on a pedestal like other musicians did, but could treat him like an equal, because they already knew each other.
Denny Laine fue el socio musical más importante que tuvo Paul McCartney después de los tres Beatles, George Martin, Linda McCartney y los músicos de su actual banda. El único integrante fijo de Wings durante toda su existencia aparte de Paul y Linda.

I saw Denny in concert in a small venue about five years ago and was able to chat with him afterwards. About his time living on Paul and Linda's farm in Scotland, he joked that "They slept in the house, and I slept in the barn." That period was the genesis of Wings. I had heard a rumor that "Mull of Kintyre" was actually Denny's idea, and that he sold it to Paul because he needed money. But in this piece, Denny says that the song was a tune that Paul was fooling around with. Maybe they wrote it together.

In Philip Norman's recent book 'The Life' he says Paul bought out Denny Laine's songwriting credit for (from memory) 100000 quid, when Denny was short of cash. So I guess new releases can just say McCartney
I took a 5 foot drum on wheels to Abbey road studio for mull of Kintyre I met paul and denny they hired the drum from my old boss who ran a percussion business in york way Islington is name was Roy Webster He had played a Timpini in most of the bond films.
Hello from Japan Since Album LONDON TOWN,44years has passed. Everybody felt Scottish Pipes very GOOD. Mrs.Linda dead long ago, but Mr.Denny Laine, Long Time we didn't know until now,recently.
I listened to Denny on a SiriusXm show. He said that Paul wrote Penny Lane based on a song from Denny's Moody Blues days. The bass line in Penny Lane is note for note.
I hate to say it..., I don't recall..., I've been going nuts trying to remember. I'll try SiriusXm on demand for Denny Laine..., it should come up there. It was on Volume ch106.
It is a shame that Paul has conveniently forgotten Denny Laine in relation to Wings' contribution. Hell Denny was not even pictured on the cover of the Wingspan video boxes. Only Paul and Linda were pictured even though Denny was in Wings just as long as Linda was. Paul does indeed rewrite history for his own convenience.
Linda McCartney was the Yoko Ono of Wings. She couldn't sing and she had no experience playing keyboards. Paul had to teach her. I saw a video here on TH-cam a few years ago that someone uploaded (an early video footage) that they were rehearsing a song and Linda was struggling playing the keyboards and she just couldn't sing. She was just way off.
@The SNES Man Well, I met someone where I used to work at in late of 1998 to late 2001 and he was the head roadie for Paul McCartney, and Linda was way too demanding with the roadie crew. Since Paul (Paul still is) and Linda are (Linda was) vegetarians. When the roadies took a break, and if they were planning to get something to eat, for instance any kind of meat, they couldn't bring it to where they were setting up the sound system for the concert(s). They had to eat their meat meals elsewhere. He had no problems when he and the roadie crew eating any kind of meat when they were working for Pink Floyd during their breaks.
That’s not the way I heard about their relationship I heard McCartney wouldn’t pay Denny and that’s the reason he left wings but I do credit Paul’s success with wings mostly because of denny
After Paul McCartney died in 1966, Brian Hines played Paul until William stepped in. After the Beatles broke up, Brian, William and Linda formed the band Wings.
Between the Beatles and Wings there was the Ram LP in 1970, Denny Laine was not involved. Personally don't think a gap of 3/4 years is 'shortly after' but there you go, it's all a matter of opinion..he certainly played his part in Wings so good luck to him.
Here it is December, 2020 and i have just discovered this gem! Reminds me of me father( passed 2001) I am a 60 yr old treehugger and lover of song...Better Late than Never eh? Thx be to Denny Laine and Paul McCartney..

Denny shows precisely how to pronounce Birmingham five times. Commentator goes ahead and Americanizes it anyway. Been a big part of my music life since I was a tiny tot. Will miss him.
Forever Autumn was Justin Hayward solo not Moody Blues. it's on Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds album. Denny was only on the Moodies first album. After he left the music changed dramatically. ( for the better )
Try the Mull of Kintyre cheese - a delicious, creamy, cheddar with a nice salty tang - due to the geography of the Mull. Great with good Scottish oatcakes, water biscuits, as cheese on toast , anything, really. I first saw Denny, back in the 60s, in the original Moody Blues. Go Now had just charted and they were a great R'n'B outfit. At the Odeon in Glasgow on the Chuck Berry tour - Chuck had good UK representation and they always found great support acts. The following year he had his old mate Carl Perkins and a 'new' Newcastle band, The Animals - blew the house down, they were so good.

Spirits of Ancient Egypt was written by McCartney although Laine did sing the verses.

Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Bryan🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
@@dennylaine8735hi fake Denny!
I remember when the single Mull of Kintyre was released and it sold out so fast that you couldn't find it in record stores the B-Side of the singe was a rocking song called Girls School the song kind of reminded me of Helen Wheels or Juniors Farm just one of those rocking songs that kicks.
Great archive insight story given by Wings Denny Laine.
'Three cheers for the Girls'....great B-side....released at the height of punk...would have loved to hear the 'Sex Pistols' have a crack at that song.
@@terrythekittie Ha,Ha ! You're right that would have been cool. Three Cheers For The Girls - Sleepy Head Kid Sister, Right Back @ Ya !!!
Double A side in the UK. :)
@@davidphilpott1509 Wow, a double A side. Man that 45 sold out so fast here in the U.S. and within two months of its release it was imposable to find. Three Cheers For The Girls !. Be Well...
Paul and Denny need to work together again what a great team they made.
What a talented man. He contributed so much to music and to Wings. Rest in peace Denny Laine.
Denny Laine is one of the G.O.A.T’s 💯 Go Now is a must when me and my brothers are drinking. Reminds us of our dad.
I always loved that promo video as Denny's walking with Linda and Mac through the countryside strumming an unplugged electric guitar
Promo? That was THE music clip for Mull of Kintyre.
@@roseanne74 I know same kind of thing concept. It was from some TV show.
The video has a sad element also, we see that Jimmy McCullough, and drummer Joe English have departed Wings.
@@seerstone8982 that was a few years up the line. This was a made for TV special.
Jimmy was still in the band but they weren't all together for this
I don't know whether Joe had left to go Bible thumping at this time or not in 78 I think he did
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist This video was recorded on Aug 9th 1977. The album London Town was released in 1977. Jimmy, and Joe did appear on song credit's, but were not featured on the album cover, because they had left the band.
Always loved Denny Laine :) But very much miss the lovely Linda. I'm sure Denny does too.....RIP Linda.....
Wow! That's so sweet of you to say Donna🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. So I thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Go Now My favorite Moody Blues song. Denny Laine lead vocals.
Denny Laine also performed "Go Now" on Wings Over America triple live LP in 1976.
@@lucone2937 And the Red Rose Speedway Tour 1973. Denny;- wonderful guy.
always loved the song ,, but the recording quality is terrible
I became interested in music right at the end of the Beatles, fortunately Ram came along, then Denny and Paul with Wings. Band on the Run album the first of my original few albums I collected. R.I.P. Denny. ❤
I was lucky enough to see Denny twice in a 3 year time frame in a small music venue in Knoxville. Very impressed that he was so happy to be playing live even in a small venue in America as an English artist. Got to hear this story of Mull Of Kintyre by him personally in a 100 member crowd!
THIS IS NOT DENNY LAINE. ITS A SCAMMER WHO WILL ASK TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU THEN ASK FOR MONEY.
@@sandygravel39 not sure if it’s the same imposter. Probably is. I reported the post. It’s a scam for money
@@sandygravel39 I think you’re right.
My wife and I were at one of those shows. We sat in the front row and harmonized along with the band. We were so loud that Denny joked that our singing must have been because of the tradition of southern gospel singing. After the show, I told him that no, it was because we had listened to and sung along with Wings songs for 40 years! If you remember that part in the song "Richard Cory" where Denny sings "Oh, I wish that I could be..." and then he pauses, waiting for someone in the audience to continue, I'm the guy who shouted out "Johnny Denver"! If you don't get the reference, he said "Jonny Denver" instead of "Richard Cory" during their 1976 world tour as a humorous nod to Denver's current popularity and wealth. So when he did the song in his recent shows, he paused at that moment to see if an audience member would shout the line.
@@NYCgirl927 The guy you're responding about isn't a scammer. I went to the same show he did. In fact, here's a video of that tour. Former Wings drummer Steve Holley is on drums here as well: th-cam.com/video/F-zP8BmIW3Y/w-d-xo.html
It's amazing how his best friends are our legends...
I had a book called "Denny Laine's Guitar Book" from the late 70's (my college girlfriend stole it) -best book I had to get started on guitar. Denny Laine was great with Wings; the "Over America" one of the greatest live LP's and the Back To The Age was fabulous. Was lucky to Catch Denny Laine at Baystreet in Sag Harbor last winter; so glad I got to see him perform
Denny Laine is an important muso and should be treated as so.

I like Denny and he contributed to Wings and may have inspired some of the band’s songs.
Paul said one reason he picked Denny for Wings is because Denny didn't put him on a pedestal like other musicians did, but could treat him like an equal, because they already knew each other.
Denny Laine fue el socio musical más importante que tuvo Paul McCartney después de los tres Beatles, George Martin, Linda McCartney y los músicos de su actual banda. El único integrante fijo de Wings durante toda su existencia aparte de Paul y Linda.
Good on you Denny i wish you all the best.!!

I was playing guitar with the chiffons on that saville theatre gig , viv Prince was playing drums with Denny lanes band. First time I saw Hendricks play.
I really liked the original Moody Blues stuff, I think that they changed a lot after Denny left. Not at all my sort of thing. Nice to see that he’s still very much alive and still making music..

Wings split up when Paul got arrested in Japan. I love Mull of Kintyre. I'm not Scottish but it's gotta be played at my funeral.
No they didn't, they just cancelled some concerts.
My choice for my own memorial
If it ain't played at my funeral, I'm not dying.
Scottish or Irish... It is lovely..
Actually Wings split up way later than that. Paul was arrested in January 1980, Wings broke up in April 1981, because Denny left.
Some great insights there. Nice to hear the guys from back then sharing their memories.
RIP Denny you really have Wings now ❤❤❤❤❤🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲

I was 12 in '77. Huge McCartney fan, but I did not get this song. Today I think it is one of his most beautiful song.
The Moody Blues what a great band. George Martin was everywhere, an awful lot of groups around at that time owe him their success.
One of my fav songs!

@@dennylaine8735 That's the same exact thing you said to someone else. Can you be original?
My favorite version 🎶🎶
I saw Denny in concert in a small venue about five years ago and was able to chat with him afterwards. About his time living on Paul and Linda's farm in Scotland, he joked that "They slept in the house, and I slept in the barn." That period was the genesis of Wings. I had heard a rumor that "Mull of Kintyre" was actually Denny's idea, and that he sold it to Paul because he needed money. But in this piece, Denny says that the song was a tune that Paul was fooling around with. Maybe they wrote it together.
Wings were Paul, Linda and Denny in that order. Remember that they won the Grammy for Best Vocal Group for Band on the Run.
Wings were only a 3 piece for the Band On The Run album as 2 band members quit before recording started.
Oh! Thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music Dave🙏🤠. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Well could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan my music???
Denny Laine was co-contributor to the bulk of that band's output.

@@dennylaine8735 Yes,Hello Denny
Such a cool dude, no wonder McCartney like to play with him, great info
In Philip Norman's recent book 'The Life' he says Paul bought out Denny Laine's songwriting credit for (from memory) 100000 quid, when Denny was short of cash. So I guess new releases can just say McCartney
RIP Denny
In Scottish and Scotland loved this song...so sad to see Denny has passed...all the good ones are leaving....💔
paul could call denny and maybe ringo and kind of make a Wings reboot, just saying (yeah, with ringo, why not)
Y
That was nice stuff to learn about. Thanks, Denny.
Thanks for the music Denny. RIP.
I took a 5 foot drum on wheels to Abbey road studio for mull of Kintyre I met paul and denny they hired the drum from my old boss who ran a percussion business in york way Islington is name was Roy Webster He had played a Timpini in most of the bond films.
Hello from Japan Since Album LONDON TOWN,44years has passed. Everybody felt Scottish Pipes very GOOD. Mrs.Linda dead long ago, but Mr.Denny Laine, Long Time we didn't know until now,recently.
Laine is a competent musician. Nothing more, nothing less.
I listened to Denny on a SiriusXm show. He said that Paul wrote Penny Lane based on a song from Denny's Moody Blues days. The bass line in Penny Lane is note for note.
From which song, exactly?
I hate to say it..., I don't recall..., I've been going nuts trying to remember. I'll try SiriusXm on demand for Denny Laine..., it should come up there. It was on Volume ch106.
Denny Laine is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Lies!!
R.I.P. Denny Laine.
Denny, i think i'm a good singer of Mull of Kintyre, ha, it seems to be IMO, one of the great tunes for the world!
I had the biggest crush on denny laine back in the day! 💖💋
How about now?
@@thebaobabs206 ummm....hes married
chab1rd 1 I don’t think you like him now.
@@thebaobabs206 lol...you know what they say about opinions
@@dennylaine8735 lol. I wish u really WERE Denny Laine! ✌
RIP Denny.
It is a shame that Paul has conveniently forgotten Denny Laine in relation to Wings' contribution. Hell Denny was not even pictured on the cover of the Wingspan video boxes. Only Paul and Linda were pictured even though Denny was in Wings just as long as Linda was. Paul does indeed rewrite history for his own convenience.
@Jesse Agreed. Plus their split wasn't amicable. Denny was no John Lennon.
He does get the royalty checks.
Linda McCartney was the Yoko Ono of Wings. She couldn't sing and she had no experience playing keyboards. Paul had to teach her. I saw a video here on TH-cam a few years ago that someone uploaded (an early video footage) that they were rehearsing a song and Linda was struggling playing the keyboards and she just couldn't sing. She was just way off.
@The SNES Man I agree. She improved as time went on. Her backing vocals were a trademark to Wings records. She also wasn't Avant Garde, thankfully.
@The SNES Man Well, I met someone where I used to work at in late of 1998 to late 2001 and he was the head roadie for Paul McCartney, and Linda was way too demanding with the roadie crew. Since Paul (Paul still is) and Linda are (Linda was) vegetarians. When the roadies took a break, and if they were planning to get something to eat, for instance any kind of meat, they couldn't bring it to where they were setting up the sound system for the concert(s). They had to eat their meat meals elsewhere. He had no problems when he and the roadie crew eating any kind of meat when they were working for Pink Floyd during their breaks.
That’s not the way I heard about their relationship I heard McCartney wouldn’t pay Denny and that’s the reason he left wings but I do credit Paul’s success with wings mostly because of denny
I heard that Denny was locked out. Somebody's book ends with Paul refusing to meet with him in the late 80's.
@@joegrennon I think Denny Laine went to see McCartney play and after the show Paul just left Denny backstage somewhere.
Larry Lehman hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Larry Lehman That’s Why Denny has now a succesful career...
Never heard the story about not paying. But totally agree with the "success" part because of Denny.
Seems like a nice chap indeed!!
His memory must be fading..wings didn't form in 1967...the beatles didn't break up until 1970
After Paul McCartney died in 1966, Brian Hines played Paul until William stepped in.
After the Beatles broke up, Brian, William and Linda formed the band Wings.
After Paul McCartney died in 1966, he came back and things continued on as usual. #someoneinmyheadbutitsnotme
@The SNES Man Not like the conspiracy theorists are saying, but lsd does kill you inside.
Between the Beatles and Wings there was the Ram LP in 1970, Denny Laine was not involved. Personally don't think a gap of 3/4 years is 'shortly after' but there you go, it's all a matter of opinion..he certainly played his part in Wings so good luck to him.
I should have put 3 to 4 years, it's a bit clearer
Here it is December, 2020 and i have just discovered this gem! Reminds me of me father( passed 2001) I am a 60 yr old treehugger and lover of song...Better Late than Never eh? Thx be to Denny Laine and Paul McCartney..

Rest In Peace Denny !
Denny shows precisely how to pronounce Birmingham five times. Commentator goes ahead and Americanizes it anyway. Been a big part of my music life since I was a tiny tot. Will miss him.
My 2 favourite Moody Blues tunes: Nights in White Satin and Forever Autumn. Denny had left the Moody Blues before they were recorded.
Forever Autumn was Justin Hayward solo not Moody Blues. it's on Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds album. Denny was only on the Moodies first album. After he left the music changed dramatically. ( for the better )
@@CB-xr1eg Apologies. This guy who uploaded the clip wrote it wrong too in his title and blurb. Thanks.✌
We met Mr. Laine at a Chicago Beattlefest several years ago. We also saw a Mull of Kintyre cheese at our local supermarket.
Try the Mull of Kintyre cheese - a delicious, creamy, cheddar with a nice salty tang - due to the geography of the Mull. Great with good Scottish oatcakes, water biscuits, as cheese on toast , anything, really.
I first saw Denny, back in the 60s, in the original Moody Blues. Go Now had just charted and they were a great R'n'B outfit. At the Odeon in Glasgow on the Chuck Berry tour - Chuck had good UK representation and they always found great support acts. The following year he had his old mate Carl Perkins and a 'new' Newcastle band, The Animals - blew the house down, they were so good.
R.i.p denny amazing work throughout your life.
Outstanding ..... Sooooooo Gooood
Moody Blues great tunes..
I would really like to see Paul and Denny reunite. I wonder why both have not publicly got together?
First time I’ve heard the period called Renaissance…..yes…most assuredly…………thank you…..
Music renaissance, no truer words.
Ray Thomas Rest in Peace
Saw McCartney in Toronto and I can tell you
Mull w pipes is absolutely rousing….rip Denny!
Used to go to the marquee in soho to see the Moody Blues
