written by Paul McCartney to his wife Linda . The ballad was a number one single and the most successful track from the Paul McCartney and Wings 1973 album Red Rose Speedway. “Red Rose Speedway“ is the second album by Paul McCartney and Wings and the fourth by McCartney since leaving the Beatles. The album was released in 1973 after the relatively weak commercial performance of McCartney's previous, Wild Life, which had been credited to Wings. Red Rose Speedway winds up being a really strange record, one that veers toward the schmaltzy AOR MOR (especially on the hit single “My Love“), yet is thoroughly twisted in its own desire toward domestic art. As a result, this is every bit as insular as the lo-fi records of the early '90s, but considerably more artful, since it was, after all, designed by one of the great pop composers of the century. Yes, the greatest songs here are slight -- “Big Barn Bed,“ “One More Kiss,“ and “When the Night“ -- but this is a deliberately slight record
