"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."
"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."
"I'm Joe English and I'm from Glasgow, Scotland." xD
"Would you greet me or politely turn away?". Norman "Hurricane" Smith, in his hit single from the '70's, "What Would You Say".
For those that may not know, as good as that song was (IMHO), Mr. Smith's greatest contribution to our little Beatle Universe was as the recording engineer in Abbey Road Studios from the day the Beatles walked in for the first time, all the way up to (I believe) Revolver. He was George Martin's right hand man for Love Me Do, From Me to You, She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, Help, and all points inbetween! Relatively unsung, he was the man.
John used to like him, teased him, called him "Normal" instead of Norman. This was of course the funny, witty, happy, pre-drug John.
RIP Norman, and thanks for the memories!
Please feel free to correct and edit ad lib everyone, this is from memory during a quick dip into Beatle land this evening ...
I love John, I love Paul, And George and Ringo, I love them all!
Sad news for Beatles fans. The Beatles original groundbreaking engineer and Pink Floyd producer Norman Smith passed away on Monday 3rd March.
Smith was the engineer on all of the recordings by the Beatles up until 1965 when EMI promoted him from engineer to producer. The last Beatles album he recorded was Rubber Soul. Smith engineered the sound for approximately 180 Beatles songs in all.
In 1972, Smith, using his recording artist pseudonym of "Hurricane Smith," had a transatlantic hit with "Oh Babe What Would You Say?", which became a U.S. # 1 Cashbox hit.
Last year, Smith wrote down his memoirs in a book entitled "John Lennon Called Me Normal" which was shown at last year's Beatlefest, but the book has not yet been published.
It's been a Hard Days Night & i've been working like a dog!
