Which Wings album includes the US number-one single 'Listen to What the Man Said'?
Answer
Venus and Mars
Answer
Venus and Mars
Wings’ US number-one single “Listen to What the Man Said” appears on the album Venus and Mars.
Released in 1975, Venus and Mars was Wings’ fifth studio album and followed Band on the Run. “Listen to What the Man Said” was issued as a single from the record and topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States during July 1975. It also reached No. 1 in Canada and became one of Wings’ most recognizable pop successes.
The recording included more than the core Wings lineup. Guest guitarist Dave Mason contributed guitar overdubs, while jazz saxophonist Tom Scott played the soprano-saxophone solo. The track was recorded during sessions in New Orleans, and McCartney later recalled that the band initially felt the backing track had not captured the song’s potential. Scott’s saxophone part helped transform it into the finished hit.
The other choices belong to different stages of Wings’ catalogue. Wild Life was the group’s 1971 debut, Red Rose Speedway followed in 1973, and Back to the Egg was released in 1979. None contains this 1975 single.
