On July 22, 1971, McCartney and wife Linda officially formed Wings, which proved be a super successful endeavor following McCartney's solo release of RAM. Today, the legend himself wished his old band a happy 54th birthday in celebration of it with a collage, and in it reminded everyone of the beautiful origin of the band's name.
“We were thinking of all sorts of names. We had a new group and we had to think of a name,” McCartney recalled to Far Out Magazine. “We had a letter from an old gentleman in Scotland, which said, ‘Dear Paul, I see you are looking for a name for your group. I’d like to suggest The Dazzlers.’ So we were nearly The Dazzlers, with the big sequined jackets.”
“Anyway, I was thinking for some reason of wings of a dove, wings of angels, wings of birds, wings of a plane. So I said to Linda, ‘How about Wings?’ It was a time when most people would be thinking about a name for a child, and there we were talking about a pop group,” McCartney said.
The band was together for 10 years until the controversial tour in Japan in 1980, where McCartney was arrested for having a small amount of marijuana on him. Throughout the decade the band made incredible hits and tour everywhere across the globe. And 54 years later, their music is still as delightful.
