This was a tough fight for the No. The production value alone on the song easily won Paul McCartney a Grammy for the song back in The song reached the No 1 spot on the Billboard Hot band in The song is pure cinema in every fashion. With its soft acoustic opening lines, soaring mid section, unforgettable chorus and climatic ending, the song defined the brilliance of Paul McCartney. Who would have ever thought that a song composed for the soundtrack of a James Bond Film would become such a huge hit for Paul McCartney.

It's time to leave behind those comparisons, as consistent as they were unfair, and celebrate Wings for what it was: One of the decade's very good bands.
Don't believe it? We dug deep to compile this Top 10 Wings Songs From its first gnarled riff courtesy of the underrated, gone-too-soon guitarist Jimmy McCulloch , 'Letting Go,' the first song on our list of the Top 10 Wings Songs, sets a dark, roiling tone completely at odds with their flimsy hit 'Listen What the Man Said' from the same album.
Instead, McCartney explores that narrow space between love and obsession to great effect, if much fewer sales. We find McCartney letting loose vocally, in the style of his old Little Richard rave-ups -- ascending into a rattling fervor, then whooping and calling all the way back down.
And he was still composing with an episodic flair that recalled the best moments from the 'Abbey Road' era. And, again, the song also rocks in a way that drive-by fans might never have guessed after wading through the gauzy web of strings on 'My Love,' found elsewhere on Wings' sophomore effort. By this point, John Lennon and McCartney had found common ground again to the point where McCartney apparently felt comfortable enough to appropriate not just Lennon's instrumental primitivism but also his raw vocal style.
The No. A series of turbulent, well-placed fills from drummer Denny Seiwell, who'd be a cornerstone of Wings' first incarnation, only add to the drama. It took a surprising amount of time, but with 'Jet,' the early-'70s McCartney finally started sounding like the late-'60s McCartney again. With On To You, he set his sights on new wave.

In , Wings became the first rock band to ever open a Bond film and the first to win an Oscar nomination for a movie soundtrack. The title track to the hot-selling Band on the Run was as close as McCartney ever got to eclipsing his achievements with the Beatles.
Cleverly blending three distinct parts the orchestral intro, the rocking segway, and the exhilarating refrain into one incredibly listenable whole, this is a song that throws the rule book out the window, takes chances, and comes out victorious.
