About Wings
Wings began in 1971 around Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney and Denny Laine. The group developed its own touring and studio life through a changing lineup, with Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English joining the core trio for Venus and Mars. At the Speed of Sound gave every band member a lead-vocal turn, making the ensemble's range especially clear. Their catalog combines concise singles, connected album passages, guitar-led performances and carefully layered vocal arrangements.
