Line 24 ⟶ 23:
Wings had many hit singles, hitting the top of the US charts a total of five times between 1973 and 1978. Surprisingly, they reached the top spot in Paul's native Britain just once- with "Mull of Kintyre", the best selling non-charity single in UK history.
* ''Wild Life,'' 1971
* ''Red Rose Speedway,'' 1973 (there were three singles between those two albums)
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
The history of Wings has been recorded in [[Documentary]] form in the special [[Wingspan]], released the same time as the double album of that name. Unfortunately, it was released too late to contain much input from Linda. This was the last major project Paul completed before he (temporarily) became an item with Heather Mills.

* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]] -- the middle verse of "Junior's Farm" refers to a British political situation that, well, might be incomprehensible to Americans and people born after the '70s.
* [[Artistic Stimulation]]
Line 48 ⟶ 46:
* [[Call Back]]: "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five", the last song on the ''Band on the Run'' album, ends with a reprise of the chorus from "Band on the Run".
** The song right before it, "Picasso's Last Words", contains brief snippets of "Jet" and "Mrs. Vanderbilt".
* [[Canon
* [[Control Freak]] -- Paul, although strangely less so than his days with [[The Beatles]].
* [[Cover Version]]
