The post-Beatles years were difficult for die-hard fans of the band, perhaps mostly because of the fact that beloved musician Paul McCartney immediately formed a new group with his wife Linda and called it Wings. Wings was formed by McCartney in 1971 following several recording sessions for a solo record. He decided that his new wife Linda should work with him on his music so that they need not be apart when he toured. After making the decision to bring in several other musicians for the recordings, McCartney and Linda realised that a new band was in the making. Wings released several singles that reached top positions in charts all over the world.nnMcCartney led the group directly to fame and with singles like "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" in 1972.

Many changes were made to the Wings line-up over the years, but the band continued to record hits and wow audiences across the UK and all over the world. Often the band found itself facing criticism for both failing to live up to the legacy of the Beatles, and for purely stealing the fan base that the Beatles had created. It is certainly true that many of the songs written by the band (or very often written by Paul and recorded by the band) had a decidedly Beatles feel to them. This is hardly a surprise, however, considering that McCartney had such an influence in their production as he had previously in the Beatles. nnThe group disbanded in 1981 after frequent line-up changes, but McCartney said it was a friendly parting
