Paul McCartney and Wings -Love Is Strange-

Great song that is hardly ever heard. I hope you enjoy it. From the LP: Wildlife.This was originally done by Mickey and Sylvia in 1957 and then Buddy Holly recorded it before he died.

Too bad this video is mono with only the left track. Stereo with the right track (which has the synthesizer) would be nice.

@macavity1138 hmmmmmm...seems to be in stereo when I play it.

A little touch of reggae? Even in the original version by Mickey & Sylvia...Great song, and great cover by Wings. Thanks!

@19680117 I am glad you enjoyed it...thanks for listening and watching..

[rickard1177]

@19680117 buddy holly did the original

[a1jungle]

There is actually some dispute over who did it first. Though Mickey and Silvia claim to have written the lyrics, Bo Diddly claims to have written the music. Bo Diddly, Mickey & Silvia, and Buddy Holly all recorded and released it within months of each other.

Neither John or Paul were the Beatles...they...as a combination with George and Richard... were the Beatles...their own works are what they are...some better tnan others....this one...in my humble opinion... is as great remake of the original version...

It's hard to listen the first part but if you can you'll notice that the second part is awesome!

buck owens and susan raye also did a rather nice version of this track !

Actually, my favorite rendition has become a country-rock recasting by Ian & Sylvia, heard starting around the 5:50 part of this clip:

Alas, the chord structure seems to have more in common with Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" . . .

one of my favorite albums of all time! The cd is great too, they added a couple of sleepers.

Give Ireland Back to the Irish and Mary had a Little Lamb

@MultiCBGB No one has heard of the band or album or whatever it is that you're talking about. But I'm sure they in their anonymity are amazing geniuses, and if I cared, I might even look them up, but I don't.

Awful!. Listen to Everything But The Girl for a great version of this song.
