Paul McCartney and Wings You Gave Me the Answer (1975) Artist : Paul McCartney Song : You Gave Me the Answer Album : Venus and Mars (1975) You Gave Me the Answer is a song by Wings. It was written by Paul McCartney and appeared on the album Venus and Mars. McCartney has occasionally paid tribute to his father, James, who led his own band in his youth, by writing Music Hall Other such songs from McCartney s catalogue include When I m SixtyFour and Honey Pie. To enhance the realism of this period pastiche, McCartney recorded his lead vocals through a filter that removed much of the lowerend frequencies to help emulate the sound of singing through a megaphone, the signature sound of Rudy Vallee, which was a common recording technique during the 1920s, where singers like Vallee and Al Jolson had to compensate for the poor reception of primitive recording equipment at that time. In concert, McCartney often dedicated this song to Fred Astaire. The song was recorded on a piano tuned to A427
