PIPES OF PEACE--the 1983 follow-up to McCartney's TUG OF WAR album--was a more pop-oriented outing than its critically-acclaimed predecessor. Recorded with former Beatles producer George Martin and guest musicians like Ringo Starr and jazz bassist Stanley Clarke at Martin's studio on the Caribbean island of Montserrat, PIPES OF PEACE has a casual, laid-back feel that is perfectly suited to McCartney's breezy pop melodies. The album's best-known song, "Say Say Say," is a propulsive pop-soul duet with Michael Jackson that was McCartney's last single to reach #1 on the American charts.

PIPES OF PEACE also contains "So Bad," a beautiful, smoldering love song that is arguably one of McCartney's most underrated ballads. Though McCartney tries to deliver a big message on the title track, PIPES OF PEACE works best as a pop album and it features a fine mix of upbeat songs and earnest ballads that give McCartney ample opportunity to show off his incomparable voice and peerless musicianship.
