McCartney Reveals Prince's Secret "Long and Winding Road" Cover
27 May
Summary
- Prince covered The Beatles' classic "The Long and Winding Road."
- The unreleased cover was recorded during a Prince rehearsal.
- Paul McCartney is interested in releasing the legendary track.
Paul McCartney recently shared a remarkable musical discovery: a previously unreleased cover of The Beatles' 1970 song "The Long and Winding Road" recorded by the iconic Prince. McCartney learned of the rendition from an acquaintance who shared the recording a few years after Prince passed away in 2016.
Initially skeptical, McCartney was proven wrong by the quality of Prince's performance, which he described as "really great" and noted Prince's impressive guitar work. The recording is described as "kind of rocky" and was captured during a Prince rehearsal.
McCartney expressed his strong interest in having the track officially released, stating, "I'm going to ask them [Prince's estate]. I could make it into something really good." He also reminisced about Prince being a "wizard" and a "special guy."
