Listen to What the Man Said

Listen to What the Man Said was recorded in 1975 during Wings' stop in New Orleans.  The song featured the newest member of Wings Joe English on drums.  Geoff Britton, who had been Wings drummer, was let go for various reasons.  He did not get along well with Jimmy McCulloch or Denny Laine, allegedly he was involved in an altercation with McCulloch that did not set well with the McCartney's.  Britton also gave an interview where he stated that he was the only health nut in the group that didn't take drugs, bad idea.  McCartney gave him the sack during the Venus and Mars sessions. 
            Listen to What the Man Said was the first single taken from the soon to be released album Venus and Mars.  Guest musicians on the song were Dave Mason on guitar and Tom Scott on saxophone. 
           The B-side of the single was Love in Song.  The single was released on May 16, 1975.  Both songs were written and produced by Paul McCartney.  The song went to number 6 on the British Charts and number 1 in America.  The song was included on the compilation albums: All the Best! and Wingspan: Hits and History.
