2 great genius song writers. This will always be classic just the 2 of them working together. I remember as a 12yr. old (black) kid walking into Kmart and seeing a display of Tug of War albums as soon as you walked in and thinking wow Paul is still the man. That image was burned into my mind forever.
@MrPabloMartinI Even so, it should say ft. Stevie Wonder. This video does not even mention Wonder in description box. I was just pointing out the irony of not mentioning Stevie Wonder in a song about equality.
How many fookin' hits has Paul McCartney written? Man, YouTube is flooded with them. THAT GUY IS AWESOME. So talented. Long may you reign and live Paul! Happy 70th next birthday!
"We all know, that people are the same wherever you go, there is good and bad in everyone......" :-)))) I like this song so much!!!! not to mention that Stevie Wonder was born on May 13, like myself. :-))))
This is definitely a classic! This is one of my favorite songs from the early 1980's expressing the shortcomings & positive qualities in others. "We all know people are the same whereever you go, there is good & bad in everyone, learn to live learn to give each other what we need to survive, together alive." Both McCartney & Wonder emphasize the importance of black & whites getting along with one another "in perfect harmony"
@ioriorioriorio Better ! Because I witnessed it LIVE and IT WAS NICE! & It was a Beatles' song & sung with true real inspiration as well..I got got so excited when Stevie joined Paul live(Forum 1989) I waived at Stevie...I as in that moment I guess! AHHHH?!? OTR? I think Stevie knew I waived tho..And that FN equally as AWESOME! Thanks iorioriorioro you rock;)
This song was composed by mc Cartney, one of the best song ever from Paul mc Cartney!! in my country Peru in most of the broadcoast radios, was the song of the year...and I'm still I know by heart the lyrics, and remenber that I sung this song with a friend in my job in the 90s, I did Paul and she did Stevie side, it was awesome!! What a memories!!

Best part of this video is at 1:47 minutes where a much younger Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are performing together.

The original Paul McCartney who was killed in 66 would be proud of this song.
