I am a huge McCartney fan, but his duets with anyone other than fellow Beatles are awful, and this one sounds truly hideous.

What fellow Beatles did he have a duet with?

I just meant all the early Beatles songs he sang with John Lennon.

They had a lot of great songs but their lyrics sucked for the most part . Ray Davies and Jagger/Richard blew them away lyrically .

Streisand has kept her voice in good shape. Sir Paul has completely lost his, probably from his decades of pot smoking.

Luckily for Paul, Bob Dylan is also doing a duet on the album, so he won't be the worst sounding duet partner

You can stop, Paul. You’ve been the least-favorite Beatle for decades. You’re just show-boating, now.

Good to hear Streisand still sounds good.

I saw her at a nightclub in Chicago long ago before anyone ever heard of her. My date said he’d never seen me so smitten with a singer before. We went out to hear every jazz act that came to Chi Town. I still watch Oscar Peterson, etc. on my YouTube. play list.

Paul McCartney’s contribution here can’t possibly be worse than the duets he did with Michael Jackson. Those songs make my ears bleed.

Great story. Oscar Peterson’s interview with David Cavett is phenomenal.

McCartney’s use-by date was sometime in 1975.

Bar-bra should do a duet with Yoko.

Well, there was “Ebony and Ivory”

But Babs?? Big mistake, Paul.

Rhythmically (Starkey), melodically, and harmonically, though...you do have to hand it to them. Do you not?
