Paul McCartney "Maybe I'm Amazed" Reaction | Asia and BJ

This is off of Paul's first solo album after the Beatles. Incredibly enough, he played ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS on every single song.

didn't he teach Linda a little keyboards on a few or did that first happen on Ram?

@@danieljodrey8863 On this album, it was all Paul. I know Linda played keyboards and did backing vocals on his world wide tours, but I don't know about on albums. You can easily Wikipedia Paul's albums and it should show each musician, and what instrument for each song.

Paul was and still is a human musical note who has been making music constantly for 6 decades now and is always worth a listen. His work with the Beatles was his best But his solo work, especially with Wings, his band from the 1970s, is stellar. Try Band On the Run, Let Me Roll It, Too Many People and Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey. He has hundreds of good songs and at least 50 legitimate all time great songs, he is that good, amongst the 10 most important musical beings ever on Planet Earth. Enjoy! 🎸

Paul has an extensive solo catalog of wonderful music that's worth diving into.

Lennon gets the accolades, but Paul was always the driving force of the Beatles, to my mind. Nice reaction! 😉

Paul's melodies are better than anything "Tin Pan Alley" ever put out; sheer genius. Lennon was a superb wordsmith. Combine them with Harrison, a 1st rate guitarist, (and songwriter) and Ringo one of the best drummers in Rock and Roll, and that is why many consider the Beatles the greatest Rock and Roll band.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

This was not a Wings song, as Paul did all the instruments himself. (Linda did all the backup vocals.) It was from his first solo album right after leaving the Beatles, which was released at roughly the same time as "Let It Be." It is definitely one of Paul's finest and most beautiful solo songs.

Just to show the enduring appreciation for the man and his music, he appeared on the Steven Colbert show with this introduction. " Ladies and gentlemen. You probably know my first guest tonight, because he's PAUL McCARTNEY! " A two minute spontaneous standing ovation follows. Paul never released the song as a single. It was only available on his eponymous " McCartney " album. However, it received huge airplay on radio stations around the world. Just because he could, he played piano, organ, rhythm and lead guitars, bass, drums and vocals. A gutsy love song.

[@RDRussell2]

I loved this song for years, and yet...something you said at the end that made me realize something new about this song. This is a pretty muscular ballad when you get down to it. A "power ballad" maybe. Certainly it's not one of those gentle, "pretty" ballads. I know maybe not everyone would agree with that assessment, but assuming there's a point to that, you have to say the lyrics are very vulnerable. That contrast of strength and vulnerability might have a lot to do with what makes this song so great.
