Ebony & Ivory (rehesal)

The Tug of war album's last track is the second collaboration between Paul and Stevie Wonder.
It's called Ebony And Ivory, written by Paul and pulled out from the album as the main single.
This is a nice song with lyrics about peace and toleration.
Paul plays guitar, bass and piano. Stevie drums and plays synthesizers.

Ebony and Ivory" is a 1982 number-one single by Paul McCartney, performed with Stevie Wonder. It was released on March 29 of that year. At the simplest level, the song is about the ebony (black) and ivory (white) keys on a piano, but also deals with integration and racial harmony on a deeper level. The title was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say "black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony folks!".[1] The song is featured on McCartney's album Tug of War as well as several of Wonder's Greatest Hits albums. The song reached number one on both the UK and the US charts in 1982.

Although written by McCartney alone, the song was performed live in the studio by both McCartney and Wonder, though due to conflicting work schedules, both recorded their parts for the song's music video separately (as explained by Sir Paul in his commentary for The McCartney Years 3-dvd boxed set).

"Ebony and Ivory" spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the fourth-biggest hit of 1982. For McCartney, the song's run atop the chart was the longest of any of his post-Beatles works, and second longest career-wise (behind "Hey Jude" with The Beatles); for Wonder, it was his longest-running chart-topper. The song also spent five weeks atop the adult contemporary chart.

Following the song's massive chart success, it was derided as "saccharine" and was later named as the tenth worst song of all time by Blender magazine. On October 2007 it was named the worst duet in history by BBC 6 Music listeners.

The song listed at #59 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of all time.
