This was a song from the Ram album that was released as a single on Monday August 2nd, 1971. The B-Side of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was Too Many People.
The single was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney and sold well. It made it to number 1 on the U.S. hot 100. It also did well in other countries. It went to number 1 in Canada and New Zealand, while reaching the 5 position in Australia.
Paul had an Uncle Albert who died when he was a boy. According to McCartney his Uncle Albert was a good man who would occasionally get drunk and while drunk he would stand on a table in the house reading out bible passages.
Admiral Halsey was a much admired American Admiral.
The engineers and musicians who worked on this song all have fond memories of working with Paul. The Song was recorded in New York City during the Ram sessions.
