3 LADY MARMALADE
Behind the Mardi Gras clown paint ,
the nation's newsmagazine readers
might never have guessed it was their
favorite country-western / rock 'n 'roll
duo without the tagline, Paul and Linda
McCartney ,
In New Orleans since mid-January,
the sometime Beatie jovially played
Martian to a gaggle of reporters in
mid -February aboard the riverboat
Voyageur, confounding them with
horrid mimickry of a " New Orleans
accent ," (If you 've been to Brooklyn,
you've heard one of the many accents
of New Orleans,)
Paul , Linda and their band Wings
(Denny Laine, Jimmy McCulloch and
Joe English) bandied about on the
Labelle EpIc 8 50048

50 -year -old Voyageur with New
Orleans music notables - namely Allen
Toussaint, Lee Dorsey, Ernie K-Doe,
Clarence "Frogman " Henry, Earl King
and Willie West - ending the party with
an impromptu jam including Paul , the
funky Meters and some of the other
musicians of note on hand,
What brought McCartney to the
Crescent City just as his hit double-
single "Sally G.lJunior's Farm" could
be heard from the jukebox in the
redneck joint on the country line and
the pant 'n'passion party in the allnight
college hole was the musical talent and
producing talent to be found around
Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sea-
horn's Sea -Saint Studios,

Inside the studio , McCartney, Linda,
Wings and reportedly several Jazz
Country sessionmen have been record -
ing a new album, to consist, the press
was told, of rock, ballads and "some
good old Wings music," Whether the
"New Orleans sound" will be unmis-
takeably present or whether Paul will
have assimilated it and produced
something uniquely his remains to be
seen , Regardless of the musical
heritage of the tracks, which Paul said
may be released by Capitol sometime in
April , jukebox operators are eagerly
awaiting more chart-crossing music
from the man from the band that
Changed the World ,
