SON-OF-GUN; JUST MADE IT!!! In 1974 "Helen Wheels" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and it spent a total of 13 weeks in the Top 100...
The record was the 4th in a string of 7 straight records by Mr. McCartney to make Billboard's Top 10; started with "Hi, Hi, Hi" {#10}, "My Love" {#1}, "Live & Let Die" {#2}, this record, "Jet" {#7}, "Band On The Run" {#1}, "Junior's Farm" {#3}, and finally "Listen To What The Man Said" {#1}...
In all honesty, I would have to say that Paul McCartney is a MUCH better singer than John Lennon. Of course, part of the reason for that is John Lennon's dead. Since he's dead, John Lennon doesn't sing very well at all.
Though musically superior to the other Beatles, Paul's lyrics, though fun are trivial. I wonder if he feared(s) a violent end were he more "out-spoken" like Lennon was
I love it. The "Wings", for me were not as representative as the Beatles, but also had a lot of talent. Of course especially Paul. Just be Paul McCartney to succeed.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Paul McCartney and his so called band "Wings" however he came up with that name were just another act in the 1970's with quite a few acts that were much better. He was a real sellout performing at low class football games as well. At least he didn't have a race mixed marriage like John and George did.
@MrBEB123 - Well, I can understand that, coming from your race. What are you? Some kind of squid race? Now that I think about it, what the hell are you? Something strange, no doubt.
Paul never played a football game, unless your talking about the Super Bowl?
@Amiles666 He's only worth $600,000,000.00 USD and has sold over 1 billion records with the Beatles and over 200 million in his solo career. If that's shit, I'm digging up my septic tank.
@MaceMn 200 million isn't alot. The beatles is understandable because in the beatles he was good, his solo career sucked. If you compare his solo work with john lennons it'll make you realise the paul mccartney just dumbed down.
Dedicating to my wonderful daughter. She was Hell on Wheels and her name was Helen. I used to call her this (Hell on Wheels) before I even knew the song exited.
This is thee PROMO..this is not a live appearance on Top of the pops...might have been AIRED on this date. But this is not the band in the POPS studio.
Some really evocative shots in the promo film (I do wish people would stop backdating the term "video" to this period), which I haven't seen since the earlyish days of VH1 Classic in the UK ... could have done with more of those, because the song itself is nothing special, though better than Ringo's effort.
No human is more talented than Paul
