🍷Stanley Clarkeと共演をしたtug of warとpipes of peace💮 “Of all of the recordings I’ve played on, working with Paul McCartney was among the most memorable,” Clarke told BP. “We started jamming on a groove, which made it onto the album as Hey Hey. Paul graciously gave me a co-writing credit, which he didn't have to do. So I had co-written a song with Paul McCartney. It’s still a thrill to see my name next to his in the song book.” That McCartney would vacate the bass chair says a lot about his admiration for Clarke, who’d caught the bass world’s imagination with his solo album, School Days. McCartney went on to say “I admitted to him, ‘Hey, I’m trying to steal your licks, man!’ “He said, ‘Oh, you’ve got licks of your own.’ I decided not to steal his licks after all; he was right. He’s got his style; I’ve got my style.” Remastered in 2015, Hey Hey gets off to a bright start, before Clarke steps forward with a jazz-inflected interlude. “Paul wanted a different bass sound on these records, which is why he had George Martin contact me. He asked me to show him how to slap! And I brought him a few basses. I ended up having a really good time because Paul is just a cool guy.” Clarke also recorded on The Pound is Sinking and Somebody Who Cares from McCartney's 1981 album, Tug of War. 共作となってるhey heyはノリの良い曲。クレジットの必要はなかったのに名前を載せてくれて感激だと。2015年オリマスター時には変化が欲しかったみたいね、だからジョージマーチンに自分を呼び寄せたと、少なくとも彼は見てるのね。御大との時間は充実したものになったと。良いお話ね。When Stanley Clarke met Paul McCartney: “He asked me to show him how to slap!”Stanley Clarke made a key assist on Paul McCartney's early-80s albums Tug of War and Pipes of Peacewww.guitarworld.com
