Jimmy McCulloch and Paul McCartney Wings

Today’s marks the birthday of Jimmy McCullough, the Scottish musician who pretty much played with a virtual who’s who of British rock and roll artists of the 1970s, but succumbed to a heroin overdose at the tender age of 26 and has been mainly forgotten about in today’s day and age.

McCullough is best remembered for his stint in Paul McCartney’s Wings from 1974 to 1977, playing lead guitar on many of their hits, including the number one singles “Listen to What the Man Said,” “Let em In,” and “Silly Love Songs.” He also played in a band prior to Wings, known as Thunderclap Newman, which is remembered for their song “Something in the Air,” (number one in the UK) which has been covered by artists such as Tom Petty, The Eurythmics, jazz impressario Herbie Mann, and Donald Fagen among others.
