Linda's vocals

We all know the Howard Stern prank of playing Linda's isolated concert
vocals, but those of us with that kind of experience know that we can
sing way off key in lots of circumstances.

Hell yes. A monitor mix can play games with one's inner tuner and in
that part of the song, where it's "all inclusive" or "en masse"
(monotones included), the recklessness adds to that loose fuzzy sea of
sound.

In revisiting Paul's post Beatle stuff recently, I was impressed with

ontherocks...

Hey!
I liked her!
Not for musical reasons. She was not a good singer/musician(and she knew it)
I liked her for her attitude towards life and being Paul's wife.
And she had a strong integrety.

I just pointed out how peoples attitude (in general) changed when she died.
People used to hate her,but now she's kind of praised.

the quality of her background singing and harmonies. I know, I know,

dahldude...

One can hear how she evolved into the mix from the first album into the
latter day ones. Working under Paul's demands was at times probably
taxxing but when you're in love and dedicated to the others' dream, I
guess one just does it to please.

a lot of it had to do with McC's production values, but I remain
impressed with the majority of her work along these lines.

Annie...

Sure. Singing out of tune live is no biggie. She wasn't a dreadful
singer; she did just fine. She was a part of Wings because Paul felt
better having his wife with him on stage and in the studio, and they
made no attempt to hide that fact.

dahldude...

Linda had no agenda in destroying or usurping the Beatles' (proper)
place in musical history, nor foisting herself into Paul's golden
goosehouse. She was deputized as a strategic move and, bless her soul,
she carried that weight well...

Sorry for Paul to have to go on after losing the best soulmate ever.
Their's was a true love story...
