From Wikipedia:

Brave New World is the third studio album by American rock band Steve Miller Band, released in June 1969. It is the band’s first album following the departure of founding members Boz Scaggs and Jim Peterman, with Ben Sidran replacing Peterman on keyboards. The album reached number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In Colin Larkin’s third edition of All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000) it was voted number 676.

Paul McCartney contributed to “My Dark Hour” (credited as “Paul Ramon”), providing backing vocals, drums, guitar and bass guitar. The other members of The Beatles did not show up for a recording session so Glyn Johns suggested Miller and McCartney work together to take advantage of the time. […]


Paul’s contribution to “Celebration Song” is subject to debate, considered unlikely.
