After The Beatles, but well before Paul McCartney became an official “Sir”, Macca had a little outfit called Wings (a name apparently inspired by his designer daughter Stella’s birth).
The band—featuring a core lineup of Paul, his wife Linda and guitarist Denny Laine—generated a slew of ’70s hits like “Jet“, “Silly Love Songs” and “Live & Let Die” (covered later by Axl Rose and crew), but one of our favorite Wings numbers is the timely tune “Wonderful Christmas Time”.
Like most of the Wings catalog, it’s an earnest, emotionally straightforward song with an accompanying video featuring loads of footage of Paul and Linda (one of rock’s sweetest couples) and the band having, well, a pretty wonderful Christmastime. There’s also some weird special effects that might be a little dated looking, but who doesn’t love a little cheese around the holidays?
No matter what you celebrate (or don’t), here’s hoping the season is treating you right!
