“Maybe I’m Amazed" is a Rock & Roll tribute to Paul McCartney featuring an all star lineup of world class studio musicians. MIA is dedicated to bringing the feel and sound of a McCartney live show. Their 90 minute show features Paul McCartney hits from The Beatles, Wings and his solo efforts set to a backdrop of multi-media and lighting that leaves the audience…Amazed.
CPO who plays Macca in the show has been playing Paul in national touring acts Beatles vs Stones and Abbey Road for the past 10+ years as well as other Beatles acts across the world including The Liverpool Beatles, Beatles show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Hard Days Night, 4 Lads from Liverpool, Sgt Pepper Beatles tribute, Beatlemaniacs and several others. He has also done several Wings and Beatles tribute shows with former Wings guitarist Laurence Juber. In addition, CPO has fronted Boingo Dance Party featuring Johnny Vatos and a rotating cast of former Oingo Boingo band members. CPO has also released several albums as a singer/songwriter including Wonderlove(with MIA drummer Dicki Fliszar), LPFM, Faul!, CPO & Co and several solo albums as Chris Paul Overall.
The Cast:
CPO (Macca) - bass, piano, guitar
Dicki Fliszar (Abe) - drums
Chris Jagich (Wix) - keys, guitar
Cory Clark (Rusty) - guitar
Scott Harrah (Ray) - guitar, bass
Personnel:
Paul McCartney: vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums
Stevie Wonder: vocals, synthesizer
Andy Mackay: Lyricon
Linda McCartney, Eric Stewart, Deniece Williams, Lynn Davis, Susaye Greene, Windy Barnes: vocals
Wonder brought his backing singers, Wonderlove - Deniece Williams, Lynn Davis, Susaye Greene, and Windy Barnes - to Montserrat. They were joined on the track by Linda McCartney and 10cc’s Eric Stewart.
Completing the line-up was Roxy Music’s Andy Mackay, who played a lyricon - an electronic wind instrument.
Wiki has Stevie playing drums too.
@@debjorgo Thanks for pointing that out - I just checked with the original album cover, but that actually also only mentiones Paul on drums. But it may be incorrect, as Stevie both is a very good drummer and plays the drums on Ebony. So he might very well have “co-drummed” on this track. Maybe someone knows more about this?
I forgot Susaye Greene is on this song. Susaye was the last member of The Supremes. She has an amazing voice and has co-written some great songs, including Denice Williams' "Free" and "I Can't Help It" by Michael Jackson. "What's That You're Doing" should have been the third single...even George Martin thought so.
Wow, all the times I listen to the song I swear to hear Denny Laine's voice in it, and anytime I check it I get surprised he's not there
Dicki and I are in a band called Wonderlove. We will talk about it in one of the final videos for this album. Accidentally named it that forgetting that it was Stevie's backing band. I've always been a huge Stevie fan since I was a wee lad.
I loved it back in 1982 and I love it even more now hearing it in 2024!! One of Stevie's, as well as Paul's, best 80's offerings!
pretty great
I recall back to 1973 on the back cover of Red Rose Speedway. There was a message in braille to Stevie Wonder that said "We Love You Stevie"
Thats so awesome
@@maybeimamazedtribute McCartney confirmed in an interview back then that the Braille message was directed to Stevie.
God, I love this track so much. Their voices play off each other so well. Paul sounds amazing!! And well, Stevie is Stevie.
"We love you yea yea. We love you yea, yea yea yea...." Reminiscent of the "She loves you, yeah yeah yeah" at the end of All You Need Is Love.
Paul had "We love you, babe" embossed in braille on the Red Rose Speedway album. It was a message for Stevie.
Stevie sings "You my name, look up the number baby" at the end as well.
Always noticed the nice "We love you yeah yeah yeah" throwback at the end
YEAH! McCartney getting FUNKY!
This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE McCartney songs!
I absolutely love it when McCartney gets funky, another one is the PLAYOUT VERSION of NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS it's funky too!
wait. I think somebody else in this comment thread said Paul is playing drums. Who is it?
@@maybeimamazedtributeMY BAD!
You're absolutely right, it was McCartney on drums!
@@maybeimamazedtributeI've read it was Paul on drums, not Stevie, but I always wondered if Paul could play that bass drum pattern because it needs a very good technique and independence in your foot.
@@maybeimamazedtribute IIRC McCartney said when he first joined in on drums when Stevie was jamming, he was messing up but figured out what to do.
Sure, Stevie and Paul do the heavy lifting on this, but never forget that Andy MacKay of Roxy Music plays the lyricon. 6 minutes isn't enough. I wish it were longer. After doing Ebony and Ivory, Stevie hung around the studio a couple more days and started jamming this.
Wouldve been so cool to be there
@@maybeimamazedtribute Yes indeed
Hey guys, be ready for a lot of emotion tomorrow with "Here today" ! I'm looking forward to watch your reaction with that beautiful and very moving song !
You're gonna get it. Sweet track
They have done 3 songs together. The two on this album and the other on kisses on the bottom (his jazz album). More great songs coming on this album, with the tear jerker the next song (and he plays it live)
Here Today is so freakin good
Love this and I should have been released as a single.
GREAT!
I listen to this more than "Ebony and Ivory". I bought the album original in 1982, and only years later started ti appreciate the Funk, of this track.
So funky!!
oh my gosh this is one of my favorite paul songs ever!! it’s such an attractive song i adore the vocals and the lyrics so much
I'm sorry I didn't hear this out in clubs the summer it came out. I think I hear Linda singing back up. Paul and Linda singing along on"All I Do" would have been pretty great, but I'm sure everyone asked Stevie to rewrite "Superstition" when soliciting new songs.
GET IT
I like how both of them have to make an effort to hit the highest note...gold
This song (And a little other by the album's end) is the closest to the atmospheres of McCartney II on this album, especially around the middle of it where the echoy synth kicks in.
A nice trait d'union stylistically between two albums apparently at the opposite on almost everything.
And I dig the She Loves You throwback at the tail end of this one
She Loves you?! did I miss that? what the? I gotta check that out
@@maybeimamazedtribute It does't say "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" directly, but a more subtle "We love you yeah yeah yeah"
@@maybeimamazedtribute You didn't miss it. I noticed you react to it. You straightened your back and popped your eyes in surprise. But as the funk swept you away, you probably forgot it was there.
paul was so hip to reggae, I know he wanted real funk from Stevie. Ten times better than "State of Shock."
On most albums this would be the best song on the album. but Tug of War has so very many gems. Stevie totally nails this, and Paul is enjoying himself so much. Ebony and Ivory may have been a single, but this is by FAR the better track.
I can see why you say that but I'm a sucker for a killer hook. Ebony and Ivory satisfies that more than this track does for me but really at the end of the day its totally a different thing. Both are great
For me it is the better McCartney/Wonder-song on the album, though less comercial and political. The song also develops nicely.
dig it
Dickie... your comment gets a "nein" out of 10 from the U.S. judge.
We will be doing "Here Today"... here tomorrow.
It's too bad that Paul and Stevie didn't jam around every once in awhile - throughout the years. I think they had fun together.
The in depth books on Paul's albums - and the album itself... all say it was Paul on the drums.
Amazing it's been 42 years since this came out...
Paul on the drums?! wow!
Which comment gets the "Nein"?
It's a stevie initialed jam. Paul messed up the drums so deleted and overdubed them. Some talent in that room.
👍🏻 tons of talent. ridiculous levels
I think this track would have been better if it was about 90 seconds shorter. Overall, this album would be low on my Macca ranking, but I’m enjoying these re-listens
It astounds me that I'll Give You a Ring was left off Tug of War but this tune was left on - it doesn't belong there because it doesn't fit with anything else on the album. It should have been a b-side or put onto a Stevie Wonder solo album.
I'm not with you on this. If ever there was a common trend on McCartney albums was the variety of styles in the songs within an LP, so this one, as odd as it may sound to you, is a perfect moment between two very serious songs like Somebody Who Cares and Here Today
I love how passionate you guys are about this stuff. It's awesome. I see what you mean but I enjoy it being there. I'm also in the camp of just let the guy do what he wants. I'll take the stuff I don't care for with the gems.
@@Uetti I agree with you that one of the strengths of Paul's material is its diversity, but I still want his stuff to sound like his stuff. I tend to not care for his duets because if I buy a Paul album, I want to hear Paul sing, not someone else. Besides that, with this track in particular, I can't think of another song in his catalog that is more discordant with the rest of the material on the parent album. I'll Give You a Ring would have fit much better between SWC and Here Today. WTYD could have been a perfectly fitting b-side to the Ebony and Ivory duet.
@@christopherhahn6728 It would've been so cool if the two Stevie tracks had gone out together. Then it would be up to the DJs to turn it over and discover this gem. Each would've fed the success of the other.
I like this song alright. However, Stevie's voice is better suited for the track, and I wish they had made it as either more polished synth rock in the early 80s style or dirtier funk in the 70s style.
