Wings were a British–American rock band formed in 1971 by singer, songwriter and Beatles member Paul McCartney (born June 18, 1942 in Liverpool), his wife Linda (born September 24, 1941 in Tucson, Arizona, died April 17, 1998) on keyboards, drummer Denny Seiwell (born July 10, 1943 in Lehighton, Pennsylvania), and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine (born Brian Frederick Hines in Tyseley, Birmingham, on October 29, 1944). Wings made their mark with the classic Band On The Run album in 1973, which was their first of two UK Official Albums Chart Number 1s alongside the follow-up Venus and Mars. Wings also scored an Official Christmas Number 1 single with Mull Of Kintyre in 1977, which became the first song to sell over two million copies in the UK, and is in the UK's Top 10 best-selling songs of all time.
