I always thought the running joke was that Linda was as bad a singer as Yoko, but that Paul had the good sense to leave her lower in the mix then John ever did with Yoko. I seem to remember hearing a piece on the radio one time that had isolated Linda's vocal track from a Wings cut and it wasn't pretty. Can anyone confirm this or is this something I overheard in a bar during a blackout and am confusing it with fact?
Wings At The Speed of Sound had a song on it where Linda sang called Cook Of The House it was a cute little diddy and she sounded ok.
It's a tough call for me on this one. To be sure, both Wings and his solo career have had a release here or there that turned out to be a clunker (just my opinion), but one thing about it, he was the most active Beatle in regards to cranking out not only music, but hits.
I'm going to lean towards Wings. From 1973 to 1979 those releases by Wings were extremely popular. Wasn't crazy about Wings At The Speed of Sound, but Band On The Run was/is one of my favorite albums-period.
Even though Wings was considered a group,it's still pretty much Paul solo. He wrote most of the songs and sings them. Same as right now he's considered solo but he has a great band behind him.Check out Good Evening New York City dvd they sound great.Either way there's no denying he's a hit maker.
Wings was more formulaic than his solo works, especially the stuff played for the 1976 WIngs concert which were included in Wings Over America lp. Especially the stuff from Venus and Mars and Speed of Sound lp's
on his own, his music was a little more free form/experimental like Ram, McCartney, McCartney II. around 86 and after he rocked harder with Press To Play and Flowers In The Dirt
