Which musician co-wrote and sang “Ebony and Ivory” with Stevie Wonder?

Paul McCartney co-wrote and sang “Ebony and Ivory” with Stevie Wonder.

McCartney wrote the song with Wonder, and the pair recorded it for McCartney’s 1982 album “Tug of War.” The title refers to the black and white keys of a piano, using them as a metaphor for people of different backgrounds living together in harmony.

The single became a major international success. In the United States, it spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also topped charts in several other countries, giving both artists another prominent global hit.

Although the song is often described as a duet, McCartney and Wonder filmed their parts separately for the main promotional video because of scheduling difficulties. A later version showed them performing together. The collaboration joined two former members of influential British and American popular-music traditions.
