Henry McCullough, the original guitarist in Paul McCartney's band Wings, died Tuesday at 72. McCullough played on Wings' first 2 albums and the singles "Hi Hi Hi" and "Live and Let Die" in addition to Paul and Linda McCartney's album Ram and Linda McCartney's Wide Prairie. (Strangely enough, his debut solo album Mind Your Own Business was released in 1975 on George Harrison's Dark Horse label following McCullough's departure from Wings.) His spoken voice lives on at the end of Pink Floyd's "Money" saying "I don't know, I was probably drunk at the time." Wings was recording in the same studio as the Floyd, and the band submitted to Pinkie's interviews about mental health that were to be interspersed throughout the band's Dark Side of the Moon album, which led to his inclusion on the track's fade. Here's McCullough's fine guitar work on Paul McCartney & Wings' debut single "Give Ireland Back To the Irish."
