About
Paul McCartney contributed to Ringo Starr’s 1998 album “Vertical Man”, by playing some bass lines on two songs, and also some backing vocals. From Wikipedia:
On 29 September, at McCartney’s The Mill studio, McCartney, Starr, Hudson, Emerick and Paul Wright worked on the track “La De Da“, which McCartney contributed bass and backing vocals to. This session was filmed by Grakal, and excerpts were later featured in the music video for the song. Also recorded was a new bass track for “What in the… World“— replacing the placeholder bass track from a July session. Upon hearing a playback of the track, McCartney remarked “Whoo … Rich! Sounds kinda Beatle-ish!” to which Starr replied “I know! That’s what I said to Mark months ago“. McCartney, now looking at Starr, told him “You are a fucking Beatle!”
Paul McCartney’s contribution to “La De Da” and “What in the… World” is well documented, but the fact he has added backing vocals on “I Was Walkin’” is not mentioned in reference books like “Eight Arms To Hold You“. We assume his contribution was recorded during the same session at Hog Hill Mill.
