Paul McCartney-Tug Of War (1982)

Paul McCartney's fifth solo album marked another of his great works, following several releases of undeniable quality but equally conventional and predictable soft pop and commercial rock songs, such as "London Town", "Back to the Egg", and "McCartney II". With "Tug of War", Paul not only returned to the top of the charts but also crafted a work featuring some of the best songs of his entire solo career. Moreover, the collaborations with renowned musicians like George Martin, Steve Gadd, Eric Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Stanley Clarke, Carl Perkins, Ringo Starr, and Denny Laine added the perfect extra layer of appeal for a wider audience. Songs like "Ebony and Ivory" sung as a duet with Stevie Wonder, "Take it Away", "Somebody Who Cares", "Tug Of War", "Get It" or "Here Today", strengthened a work full of unforgettable melodies, under numerous musical styles that would reach the top of the charts in numerous countries around the world.
