Love's Alright
By Eddie Murphy

From Instagram – Eddie Murphy & @paulmccartney in the control room at Hog Hill Mill on 6 March 1992. Paul took a break from the ‘Off The Ground’ sessions to contribute vocals to Murphy’s song “Yeah” which appeared on his 1993 album ‘Love’s Alright’.

From Hog Hill Mill Blog (@hoghillmillblog) • Instagram photos and videos – L-R: Hamish Stuart, @lindamccartney, Wix, @paulmccartney, Blair Cunningham, Eddie Klein, Pat Moore, John Hammel, and Bob Kraushaar in front. March 1992 in the barn at Hog Hill Mill during the ‘Off The Ground’ sessions. It appeared in ‘Club Sandwich’ No. 61 with the caption: “P.S. The happy hippies below are seen in their best gear greeting Eddie Murphy on his recent visit to the studio!” At first I though this was a joke, but I did a little research and found out that Eddie Murphy did in fact fly to England on 6 March 1992 for Paul to contribute to his song “Yeah” which appeared on his 1993 album ‘Love’s Alright’.
