Vocal Range: D3-A5
Associated Acts: Wings, Paul McCartney

Nationality: Northamerican

Linda McCartney was a musical interpreter, songwritter, photographer and singer being very famous on worlwide for being member from 70s rock band Wings and for being Paul McCartney's wife from 1969 until her death in 1998. She was always a big inspiration for Paul and he insisted her a lot for helping him with his solitary career after Beatles rupture in 1970 accompaining him to sing and making his music. At beggining Linda was doubtful because she didn't considere herself capable to do things Paul wanted to, but he achivied to convince her and he teached her how to play some instruments and to develope more her musical abilities. 
After two Macca's studio albums in 1970-1971, she and her husband formed their new rock group: Wings, band that is virtually Paul's whole work from 70s.
She still contributed sometimes with backing vocals and different instruments here and there on 80-90s Macca albums until her unfortunate death for cancer on April 17, 1998, aged 56.
Thank you Linda for making Paulie so happy:)

Paul McCartney. He was the bassist and lead singer of a rather obscure band called The Beatles.

[Goober]

I only know him from michael jackson

[Macca]

There's C♯5's in Rock Show that are 100% Linda. Also are you also going to be doing Denny Laine's thread.

Admittedly, I have to say as soon as I saw that you had been the last to respond, I deduced I would see an unexpected and indescribable image like this.

[ellie]

*italics mark non-sung notes.
*Underlines may mark notes sung in unison (with Paul or Denny), in backing vocals or otherwise obscured in the song mix.

She sings with Paul sometimes, but mostly in the early solo and Wings songs. There's a Linda compilation floating around as well that I've heard before. Also, don't worry friends, as I can tell the difference between Paul and Linda up there pretty damn well at this point.

I plan looking a bit more thoroughly later, but I just want to leave this here.

[EddieCheivz]

Have no idea she already have an old thread lol thanks for sharing, from thread itself actually I have some doubts I'll going to check out that alleged notes again, tho offhand I can remember by now "Monkberry Moon Delight" vocals for example actually could touch C3, but it's a pretty short pitch, I decided at first time to count vocal line bottoming at F3 only, sounds like she hit C3 but very briefly, it's a pretty quick note phrasing for can ensure it and of course for count it. Opinions? www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__NoPWSeFI&t=112s

As for thread pic actually I'm still undecided:(
Chimmy pic is good I like it but I don't know bucko, I want to see more options, more opinions please?
I've kept looking for photos but I haven't really found one so far that completely satisfies me lol, Is there any feedback or further opinons for next photos? or for Chimmy photo too?

{Paul & Linda}














This one is simply beautiful but its antique and reduced quality ruins everything 

EDIT: OR... JUST LINDA PICS :)

{Linda}

[BAZanine]

I would prefer a picture with just Linda in it personally, and preferably one where she's actually doing something musical. I suppose the one with her on drums is the best of your selection there, although the one with her on piano would have been a nice parallel to Paul's thread pic if her eyes had been open. Btw, next time you post a whole slew of images please be sure to spoiler them just so we don't have to scroll for ages.

[EddieCheivz]

I understand just Linda pic is best decision regarding to give to thread more of herself essence that a pic with Paul would do. I wanted to find a nice one with both though but seeing I don't find any I'll probably choose one just with her anyway.

Probably she with the piano is my favorite. Yeah, would have been better to look her eyes open but, mehh.

[Steingrim]

She looks a lot like David Bowie during the same time period, when he was a glam rocker.

[Macca]

This image is pretty good.

[Macca]

The A5 in Another Day Might be a guitar. Because it seems like what the person used to isolate it detected it as a vocal.

I actually disagree.

-First of all, note itself sounds VERY much like an human "whoo" than a guitar, I really hear pretty much predominant human timbre in that delivery.
-Also I was aware of that note since long time ago, not for acapella video itself btw always recognized that as a human note and not as an instrument.
Some years ago I thought it was Macca but listening the song for the thread definitely sounds exactly on Linda's vocal line who's doing second voice to Paul, even few seconds after of her bold E5. I just used that video for showing with more clearity Linda notes.
