“Linda was the sweetest person I’ve ever met in the music business. Lovely woman. She was totally misunderstood. I don’t know why she always got bad press. She was on stage, she was singing, she was playing, what more do you want of the woman? I mean seriously. She played all her bits. In those days, all the keyboards weren’t polyphonic. You couldn’t play two notes at once on the electric keyboards. You could only play one note at once. When people used to say she only played one note at a time, it’s because the instrument could play one note at a time. These people don’t understand the electronics of the time because this was the early to mid-’70s when she started playing keyboards, and we don’t have the polyphonic things that we have now.” - Jack McCulloch
“She had no musical background and it was very hard for her to walk straight into a grade A band. She’s a tough nut but also she’s got a big heart. She can only get better and better.”
“I find her innocent approach refreshing. All the stick was to be expected. But if the keyboard player had been a real professional like Billy Preston, it would be a very different band. It wouldn’t be Wings. Linda has the innocence.” - Jimmy McCulloch
It’s called cojones I think . . . .with Paul’s support and the boys in the band, Linda shook off any nerves (seemingly) and carried on being one of the band!
I have said before but I will say it again at the time of Wings and Linda playing alongside her hubby we were members of the Fan Club and card carrying members at that.
Proud of it too! Still am. Bip Bop!
