Paul McCartney & Wings - Sally G (1974)

[jg1988]

i got this 45 single roday at my local flea market in mint condition and i love it!!

[5point0]

take it chaps

[JeDaaRe1]

I love Macca.

[F4FWildcat]

I loved this song from the first time I heard it. It did stick very long. It was such a departure from MaCartney's normal offerings. Good stuff!

[LoveForTennessee420]

my dad met paul and linda and was introduced to roy orbison in 74 at the farm here in tennessee, got a picture with him and gave pauls friends artillery simulators, he came back a couple days later and pauls friends had blown up the mailbox. lol awesome stories

[28if]

@LoveForTennessee420 Can you please send me the pic? tom.ruetman@comcast.net. Just a fan. Won't be reposting or anything thanks

[TheRunner75]

@28if Which pics? They are only singles covers of "Junior's Farm/Sally G" from different countries that you can find on the web.

[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

Use to play this 45 when it came out.

Perfect song then and now.

[hotmn4u]

great song, who is sally g? anyone know

[zyxquark]

till i saw that record cover of junior's farm I don't think i remembered just how hot linda was. a handsome woman, if i do say so.

[babyimawantyou]

@zyxquark I Agree I Watched The Video Juniors Farm (1974) Im Like Wow What A Fox lol She Was Actually Oler Then Sir Paul He Was Born In 1942 And Linda 1941

[huntingun1]

I once had a broad like Sally G. Damn good in bed but a total bitch.

[11955emexicoave]

A true musical genius in our life time

[artmonkid]

Tennessee is hundreds of miles away from New York City! I discovered relatively recently. A treasure!

[rdsieben]

Typical country music lyrics...

[Tunz909]

Paul should have put out a country album, with all his country flavored tunes while his voice was still intact.  His genius was for pop, rock, music hall (vaudeville) country, film, ect. you name Paul could do it!:-)

[actresssongstress]

Also, the musical genius's that they were, John and Paul and George. When combined they came up with some great hits. Each genius has it's own unique talents. Why compare? Just enjoy!

[actresssongstress]

It's not fair to compare John and Paul when John Lennon was shot dead at age 40. We don't know how many more musical hits he could've created. I chose not to compare them, but to rejoice in the richness they both gave me in life! George Harrison another talent that was not allowed to bloom. Very talented as well!

[chronozoan]

I always thought this song was written with Ringo in mind(just saying).

[Jako32]

although I like Juniors farm more cause its more rockier and funky, this is just classic Paul M genius at hand. what a wonderful quality "B-side" !

[RG4242421]

I Love this Freakin Song,being a Texas Boy and all,of course I am not taking into account that I met Paul and Beautiful Linda in Houston In 1977 at the Summit I miss You Linda.

[hotmn4u]

great song, like juniors farm, it was never released on an album

[ginoboy9]

I really like this song. Paul doing country? Kinda like 'Rest Your Love on Me' by the BeeGees or 'Stuck on You' by Lionel Ritchie, two other act you'd never think even LISTENED to country. How fun is it at the end where Paul says, "Take it, Chaps."

[sallyg270]

:D my names sally g!! my uncle gave me this single. its b side to juniors farm i loove this song!!

[steveyraynelson]

Lloyd Green on steel if I'm not mistaken.

[maccafan1974]

I dedicate this song to my ex-wife.

[craps2010]

Did Vassar Clements play fiddle on this song?

[misterdeadly1]

Per Wikipedia, the A-side, Junior's Farm, reached #3 on the US chart, while this peaked at #17. A damned good double-A side single--easy to forget about songs like this. Of course, Beatles singles-only songs can easily compile into one of the 10 best albums of all time--Hey Jude, Rain, Lady Madonna, Paperback Writer--need I go on? The Beatles were the best, ever, and Paul was, by a nose over John, the best Beatle.

[mierpaul]

@misterdeadly1 Comparing John to Paul is alot like comparing apples to oranges. Both are musical giants in their right and our world was enriched by their musical gifts.

[beatlegreg07]

Linda was so hott.

[beatlegreg07]

Jim and Paul for the win

[hankjr4265]

i like this song......................

[WINGSFAN567]

paul proved with this song that he can do country songs too

[tiranchula]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING! Reminds me of good times with my family... Me and my sis with Paul style shag haircuts!

[ChiroQuacker]

paul used to leave some of his better recording off his albums..like :

1- daytime nightime suffering

2- helen wheels (on non USA issue)

3- sally g

and yet some real trash made it onto the albums...

[orangehornet57]

Has this one ever been released on CD? Music publisher Buddy Killen wrote about Paul's trip to Nashville in his autobiography, Flying by the Seat of My Pants, written with Tom Carter. Not surprisngly, Killen didn't pitch Paul any songs.

[ChiroQuacker]

sally g. aint bad..not as great as ringo's country gem "don't pass me by" which is a better written song..

so this is one time when ringo wrote a better song then paul...

[NowhereManStudios]

@ChiroQuacker let's not get carried away.

[ChiroQuacker]

@NowhereManStudios

not carried away...ringos tune is far better..i like sally g but dont pass me by has a better hook....

[TheRunner75]

@ChiroQuacker Yes as a bonus track in the remaster reissue of "Wings at the Speed of Sound" (1993)

[artmonkid]

I guess "g" refers to the "g spot" cause Sally liked to mess around.

At least we know for sure "it wasn't Good".

I love this, one of the greatest country style songs ever written.

[ianbowman]

My dog is called sally G

[MusicParade321]

So I'm 15 years old, and today i got my first 45 Vinyl and it was Junior's Farm/ Sally G and i love it, I can't stop playing around with it and listening to it. It's fantastic, i LOVE Paul :]

[Nashthebigsmasher]

I never hear this song on the radio any more - thanks for the video.

[NickInDetroit]

I always loved this song. 'Twas out when I got my driver's license! This is the first time I've heard it in over 30 years.

Thanks for posting.

[WilliamRowlett]

I can see how this song appeals to corn pone, bible-thumper, gun-loving Republicans in the heartland. But I'm a Harvard-edecated dork who's much smarder than any the resta you.

[icanwaitanotherday]

Adorable!

[jay737wilson]

Thank you for posting this song!!! I haven't heard it since the 70's, and I was wondering if it even existing. It just flows, makes me cry

[StraightTwoDVD]

like this song...better then the a side...juniors farm...he should do this song when he plays southern venues in the states....elton does that with a song called dixie lilly...

[54Davey]

Who played steel guitar on this? Anybody know?

[paa4647]

@54Davey It was Buddy Emmons I think

[oldurn]

@54Davey Lloyd Green played steel on this song. I know...I was the engineer.

[DaveWollenberg]

hit #39 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless!

[TheRunner75]

In UK and others European countries that was the B side of "Junior's Farm" which did #16 in UK.

[RichYan33]

@DaveWollenberg THis hit #17 in the US which wasn't bad considering it was the b-side of "Juniors Farm" which went to number 3 so a lot of people would have already owned this song. Why doesn't Macca do either of those songs in concert?

[mrob75]

@DaveWollenberg This was a double-sided 45....Junior's Farm on the A side and Sally G on the B side...This double sided 45 and got as high as #3 on the Billboard charts in early '75...Both sides!

[ziggy95]

@DaveWollenberg Should have been a A side, superb song, always one of my favorites

[zelator90004]

Any FarmVille fans out there? Does this sound familiar?

[venusknutsonau56]

Whats the best way to find mp3iiify to download this mp3? Someone told me to google mp3iiify.

[imtxsmoke]

Paul can do ANY kind of music.... Paul RULES!!

[huntingun1]

An Awesome song by Paul & co. Thanks!

[fairlanes1]

I used to sing what I knew of this song after I had my go around with a Sally that had me kicking rocks wondering what she was thinking.... I heard a voice say move along also many times.. she must've too...(in 1979) Dont know what her middle name was but she had me saying Geee alot... love the song tho. Thanks

[erniekeebler]

think'in about take'in River Dance lessons.

I'd like to clog around the room to this song!

hehehe!

MOVE ALOONNNNGGGGGG!!!!

[fremonster1]

That's me, Sally g. I have been telling people for 30 years that this is real. I was so thrilled that Paul did a song for me. Sally g.

[TheRunner75]

Did you lie and betray your lover as told in that song? ;-)

[fremonster1]

i did.

[TheRunner75]

Did you have a love story with Paul McCartney or is it just a song for fun he made about a story you told him?

[fremonster1]

@TheRunner75



[greyleopard66]

I've been trying to find this song since I was a boy. I remember it growing up and knew people who had the single, but could never get them to part with it. In high school, it took a job at record store called Camelot Music. Everytime the cut out boxes would arrive, I'd try to find the 45. I knew you were real Sally cause I've looked for your song for almost 40 yrs. Thanks for the memories and being Paul's inspiration.

[BeagleAgent]

@fremonster1

So if it was real...what does the letter G stand for? Paul did not dare to ask you...

Astrid

[fremonster1]

@fremonster1

Sorry that you thought I was telling truth. I just liked to know that Paul wrote a song with my name and last initial. So I told everyone about the song. Not that it was about me. So sorry

[erniekeebler]

Check it out, I posted a month ago, and I STILL am listening to this at least twice a week. Gotta go now, gonna listen to it for the third time in a row, and that should see me through this week.

Think I'm crazy?

Ah, then you do understand the matter.

[dadgumblah]

One of my favorites from Paul & Wings. It's available on the "Wings at the Speed of Sound" CD as an extra track. I need to plunk down and get it for my car. Till then, this will do nicely. Thanks for posting, Runner75!

[JJJZANESVILLE2]

y'all don't even know

excellence

[mrcaptainhaddock]

love it

[ziggy95]

Thank you so much for this

[erniekeebler]

THANK-YOU!

Took the part that was the heart of me....

Sally G.

[bectonbrainwave]

this song got a lot of airplay in peoria il. while juniors farm was decending the charts this was rising in feb of 75 i think. paul prolly missed his beatle days when it was usual for them to have 2 sided hits . and made this a b- side when it coulda been an a- side.

[ChiroQuacker]

@bectonbrainwave

arent there a lot of spooks in peoria? i seem to remember richard pryor grew up there....

would be fun if he did this in concert now...juniors farm too

[shmuli9]

@ChiroQuacker "spooks"?

[RadioFreeSpike]

@shmuli9: "Spooks?" Becton must think Richard Pryor worked for the CIA or the NSA. I don't know where some folks get these ideas...

[shmuli9]

@:-)  I'm never sure if I should be amused, or appalled, or both when I read bizarre thnigs like this that "people" post...

[bilbosballs]

Pop genius. The man was a melodic magician, and still is to an admirable degree.

[nanajanamike]

Same here,I thought I'd lost this one forever!

[peeterpoon]

Thanks for re-posting!

[Youngandwilde]

yess!! I've looking for this since forever, thank you for uploding this classic :D
