Paul McCartney/Wings: Arrow Through Me

Whew...this is one soulful cut from Wings' last release from 1978, Back to the Egg. Sounds very Stevie Wonder-ish and those Fender Rhodes are so tight. May I also add that Miss Badu tastefully sampled the beat break of this classic for 'Gone Baby, Don't Be Long' from her new album New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh. Any thoughts?

This is one of my favorite tracks from that album. I have had this album for years and even though I am not a fan of Ms. Badu, I LOVE what she has done with the sample.

Identity

Its effortless melody is a particular standout on the Back To The Egg album. This is McCartney at his most charming; love the funky keys.

Yeah I never heard the album in its entirely. It just so happened that it came on my internet radio and I was surprised that it was McCartney. I couldn't believe Erykah sampled this from this cut for one of my favorite songs off of her new album. Stunning. music

I follow her on Twitter and she was hunting down his daughter, Stella. She wanted her to get in touch with her dad, so that he could give her permission to use the sample.
