- The band should be judged, like others, on it's merits and contribution, not seen entirely in the context of what came before with The Beatles, or afterwards with Paul McCartney's subsequent solo career. Wings - Paul, Denny, Linda and especially the 1976 line-up of Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English, were a very good and successful band. No question.
