My Love was a single taken from the Red Rose Speedway album. It was released in March of 1973. This song was recorded live in Abbey Road studio. Paul had the orchestra, the band and all the recording people in place. He had worked out all the details of the song and the band and the orchestra were waiting for the count in....when lead guitarist, Henry McCullough, leaned over to Paul and said quietly "do you mind if I change the solo?" Paul thought for a second, swallowed nervously, and then said "you go ahead". As Paul himself would say later, it was the best solo McCullough ever played for Wings. Henry's solo made an already great song even better.
My Love would go on to become a huge hit. Over 2 million copies of the single were sold. The song became the first Wings "Standard". They would play it during every show, including Paul's Television special James Paul McCartney. The B-Side was a song called The Mess. It was recorded live at a concert in the Hague, Netherlands in August of 1972. It's a pretty strong rock number.
The Single Went to number 1 in the United States, Number 2 in Canada, and 9 in the UK.
