Note: As usual it's Macca on all vocals and instruments, except Goodnight Tonight and Arrow Through Me (with Wings).

The live version of Coming Up was the one that was played on the radio, not the studio one in the video. I've always thought the background vocals on the studio version sound like Yoko Ono. I wonder if the Hey Ya video by Outkast was based on this video. I know the main influence was The Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance.

What's That You're Doing? (with Stevie Wonder) / Let Me Roll It

Hey Hey (feat. Stanley Clarke)

"Arrow Through Me", posted by the OP, is fantastic.

How are we going to forget the most soulful song he ever did:

I found that most rock fans prefer Rolling Stones. Makes sense that Paul brought the soulful side to The Beatles and of course that of Wings and his own material.

I'd love to see Sade's members' faces when they listen to this, written and produced years before they formed.

Macca is funky even when he's only checking his machine

D'angelo should've performed this funky gem instead of She Came In Through...but I don't think anybody could pull off that singing like Macca.

The others did some too:

.

George ~ Pure Smokey

John ~ Bless You

Ringo ~ Occapella

Cmon now. Ringo was covering Lee Dorsey.

"Goodnight Tonight" I love the bass on this song.Even though this song isn't technically a disco song,I bet it was popular in the discos back then

What's your point? All of the Beatles, except George, have released entire albums of covers. A lot of The Beatles early albums were remakes too.

Great songs!

Let'em In


does this count as "soulful"? or is it just me cause I grew up with the Billy Paul version

Good call, one of my favorites

I have a feeling my definition of funky/soulful is quite DIFFERENT than yours.

There is nothing funky or soulful about Rihanna or McCartney.

Another funky gem from McCartney II album
