Ebony and Ivory – Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

This song was born in 1982 from a miraculous collaboration between two geniuses, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

It is a highly message-driven piece, and it resonated around the world.

The song was also included on the album “Give My Regards to Broad Street.

Paul McCartney – Waterfalls [High Quality]

“Waterfalls” is a hidden gem by Paul McCartney, who has produced many masterpieces and hit songs.

It was released in 1980 and included on the album McCartney II, which came out the same year, later being issued as the album’s second single.

The album also yielded the hit song “Coming Up.” Compared to that track, “Waterfalls” may seem understated, but it features a distinctly McCartney-esque, beautifully melancholic melodic line that is outstanding.
