DENNY LAINE
AGED 74
Resume:
Lead vocals with the original Moody Blues, singing vocals on one of my favourite tracks from the 1960s in Go Now.
left the band after number of chart failures.
eventually found his was to Ginger Baker's Air Force as a guitarist in 1970 but left a year later.
Laine then joined Paul McCartney's newly formed Wings and was the only continual member (other than Paul and Linda) until the band disbanded in 1980 and its been written
on numerous occasions, even in an authorised Macca biography that Laine had had enough of Paul and Linda's drug busts, Paul's incarceration in Japan was the last straw.
although he didn't co-write Mull Of Kintyre, McCartney gave him a writing credit as several investments had sent him broke, that single became the first 'two million seller' in
UK chart history, he was set for life after that one.
that said, it didn't help when Macca was only paying him 'session-man' rates during his tenure.
he then released a few solo albums in the 1980s and 90s but sales tanked.
had the odd gig playing guitar on several of McCartney's solo albums over the years.
my Favourite, Go Now, heres the live version from the 75-76 Wings World Tour:
