1) Paul McCart… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist sharing the name Wings;
1) Paul McCartney and Wings (also known by their original name Wings) were a British–American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney, his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes along with their commercial successes, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group's existence.
Created following the McCartneys' 1971 album Ram, the band's first two albums, Wild Life (1971) and Red Rose Speedway (1973) (the latter featuring guitarist Henry McCullough), were viewed as artistic disappointments beside Paul's work with the Beatles. After the release of the title track of the James Bond movie Live and Let Die, McCullough and Seiwell resigned from the band. The McCartneys and Laine then released 1973's Band on the Run, a commercial and critical success that spawned two top ten singles in "Jet" and the title track. Following that album, the band recruited guitarist Jimmy McCulloch and drummer Geoff Britton, only for Britton to quit shortly afterwards and be replaced by Joe English. With the new line-up, Wings released 1975's Venus and Mars, which included the US number one single "Listen to What the Man Said", and undertook a highly successful world tour over 1975–76. Intended as more of a group effort, Wings at the Speed of Sound (1976) was issued midway through the tour and featured the hit singles "Silly Love Songs" and "Let 'Em In".
In 1977, the band earned their only UK number one single, with "Mull of Kintyre", which became the then-best-selling UK single in history. Wings experienced another line-up shuffle, however, with both McCulloch and English departing before the release of the group's 1978 album London Town. The McCartneys and Laine again added new members, recruiting guitarist Laurence Juber and drummer Steve Holley. The resulting album, Back to the Egg, was a relative flop, with its singles under-performing and the critical reception negative. During the supporting tour, Paul was arrested in Japan for cannabis possession, putting the band on hold. Despite a final US number one with a live-recorded version of "Coming Up" (1979), after Laine departed from the band, Wings discontinued in 1981.
Wings had twelve top-10 singles (including one number one) in the UK and fourteen top 10 singles (including six number ones) in the US. All 23 singles released by Wings reached the US top 40, and one two-sided hit, "Junior's Farm"/"Sally G", reached the top 40 with each side. Of the nine albums released by Wings, all went top 10 in either the UK or the US, with five consecutive albums topping the US charts. Paul McCartney was unquestionably Wings' leader and dominant creative force, but Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch, and Linda McCartney all contributed in songwriting, and Laine, McCulloch, Joe English, and Linda McCartney all performed lead vocals.
The success of Wings was a vindication for McCartney. His first few post-Beatles albums were highly criticized and often dismissed by critics as "lightweight" next to the more serious nature of his former bandmates' solo output. But by the mid-1970s, the solo careers of the other three former Beatles were in varying degrees of decline, with John Lennon putting his career on hold in 1975 for the first five years of his son Sean's life. A year later, George Harrison had all but retired from live performances, with his new releases failing to match the success of his initial solo output. Ringo Starr was living in Los Angeles and was writing and recording, but as a solo artist had not been performing onstage other than rare guest appearances. Meanwhile, Wings continued to tour regularly and enjoy much commercial success. According to author Robert Rosen, by 1980, Lennon was envious enough of McCartney's continuing success to make his re-emergence on the music scene.
One of the criticisms of Wings was that the other members were little more than sidemen backing up a solo McCartney. Guitarist Henry McCullough quit the band because he grew tired of being told by McCartney exactly what to play, and said that Wings were never a "real band." On the other hand, other former members of Wings such as Joe English and Laurence Juber have said that they were allowed a degree of creative freedom. In an interview, Juber, Wings' third lead guitarist, said, "I was a sideman, but the job assignment very much included considering myself a part of the band ... In all its incarnations Wings sounded like a band, not like a solo McCartney project and I think that reflects well not only on Paul's ability to share in the creative process, but also on the importance of Denny and Linda's contributions, too. The other players brought their own personalities to the scene."
In addition to its own output, Wings recorded several songs that were released through various outlets both before and after the band's break-up. Denny Laine's 1977 solo album Holly Days was a joint effort by Laine with Paul and Linda McCartney; three songs on Laine's 1980 solo album Japanese Tears were performed by Wings with Laine on lead vocals; Laine also contributed to several songs on Paul McCartney's 1982 and 1983 solo albums Tug of War and Pipes of Peace, respectively. Juber's instrumental "Maisie"—which was backed by members of Wings—appeared on his solo album Standard Time. The McCartneys and Laine contributed backing vocals to George Harrison's 1981 tribute to John Lennon, "All Those Years Ago". Linda McCartney continued to tour and record with her husband up until her death in 1998, after which a compilation of her songs entitled Wide Prairie was released that featured seven Wings songs written or co-written by her. Wings also backed Paul's brother Mike McGear on the McGear album, as well as McGear's band the Scaffold on the single "Liverpool Lou" and its B-side "Ten Years After on Strawberry Jam". Paul McCartney also used three unreleased Wings songs as B-sides of his solo singles several years after Wings' break-up.
Wings' 1977 single "Mull of Kintyre"/"Girls School" is still the biggest-selling non-charity single in the UK (although Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sold more, its sales include a reissue in aid of the Terrence Higgins Trust), and it ranked fourth in the official list of all-time best-selling singles in the UK issued in 2002.
In 2001, Wingspan: Hits and History was released, a project spanning an album and a television special retrospective.

Mata yang celik tak berguna
Intan kaca kuanggap serupa
Intan kaca kuanggap serupa
Ku mencakar dari mimpi ke mimpi
Terlukalah cinta dalam realiti
Bagai terasa terpadam mentari
Hadir Sophiah cinta ku serah
Teranglah hati jelaslah mimpi
Bersama cintamu kumelangkah
Dari rembulan ke mentari
Dalam hangat rindu bila di sampingmu
Kau Sophiah panawar
Gundah gelisah gelisah
Kini tersingkap tabir hakiki
Teranglah pentas dunia ini
Dalam keindahan mistikal realiti
Bersama cintamu kumelangkah
Dari rembulan ke mentari
Dalam hangat rindu bila di sampingmu
Kau Sophiah padamu
Kuserah segala segala
Kini tersingkap tabir hakiki
Teranglah pentas dunia ini
Dalam keindahan mistikal realiti
Bersama cintamu kumelangkah
Dari rembulan ke mentari
Dalam hangat rindu bila di sampingmu
Kau Sophiah penawar gundah gelisah gelisah
Oh Sophiah kau kekasih
Penawar gundah dan gelisah
Bersama cintamu kumelangkah

The first verse of "Dalam Kehadiran Sofiah" by Wings illustrates the singer's search for enlightenment in a world that lacks clarity. Through the use of metaphors, the song depicts the singer's journey towards Sophiah, whom he presents as a guide to clarify his vision. The line "Dalam terang ku meraba-raba" roughly translates to "in the light, I am groping," indicating how the singer finds himself in a state of confusion despite being able to see things clearly. "Mata yang celik tak berguna" (useless sharp eyes) reveals how the singer's eyesight does not provide him with the answers he seeks. He considers the "intan kaca" (diamond glass) the same, suggesting that appearances can deceive and that what matters goes beyond mere appearances.
In the second verse, the singer shares his struggles with reality and love. The line "Terlukalah cinta dalam realiti" (Love is wounded in reality) speaks of difficulties that arise when love meets the harsh realities of life. The metaphor "Bagai terasa terpadam mentari" (it feels like the sun has gone out) emphasizes the darkness that engulfs the singer's life. However, the advent of Sophiah brings light to the singer's confusion. "Hadir Sophiah cintaku serah," meaning "In your presence, Sophiah, I surrender my love," demonstrates how the presence of Sophiah has a healing effect on the singer's soul. He finds clarity and purpose, and his life's mysteries begin to unravel.

Dalam terang ku meraba-raba
In the brightness, I am groping
Mata yang celik tak berguna
Eyes that are sharp are useless
Intan kaca kuanggap serupa
I took glass for diamond
Ku mencakar dari mimpi ke mimpi
I scratch from dream to dream
Terlukalah cinta dalam realiti
Love is hurt in reality
Bagai terasa terpadam mentari
Like feeling the sun goes out
Hadir Sophiah cinta ku serah
With Sophiah's presence, I surrender my love
Teranglah hati jelaslah mimpi
Brighten the heart, clear the dream
Bersama cintamu kumelangkah
With your love, I step forward

From the moon to the sun

In the warmth of longing when I'm with you

Gundah gelisah gelisah
Anxious and uneasy
