- Paul McCartney's first solo U.S. #1 single was not released as a single in the UK! It was a combination of pieces of several unfinished songs, which had been the way several Beatles classics came together. Paul's real life uncle, on which the song was based, would read and quote from the Bible when he got drunk. The admiral was American Admiral William "Bull" Halsey. This song won a Grammy in a now defunct category, Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists.

Yesterday's Burning Question (and Answer) of the Day
Which superstar did movie producers have in mind to play Joe Buck in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy.....a role which eventually went to Jon Voight?
Answer: According to a memo sent from a studio executive to director John Schlesinger, "If we could clean this up and add a few songs, it could be a great vehicle for Elvis Presley." Elvis, who by this time longed to be taken seriously as an actor, wound up doing Change Of Habit with Mary Tyler Moore, a box office dud that proved to be his last film.
