This seems to have slipped under the radar. I always associate him with Wings but I'd forgotten about his contribution to one of the best-selling albums of all time.

What did he do with/for Wings? I love Wings.
I was surprised to read yesterday that his only contribution to Wings was Red Rose Speedway album.. I thought for sure he was on other releases.. however after a bit of research it was in fact Jimmy McCulloch.
And I would have said he was on Ram, but that was Hugh McCracken.Originally Posted by happytheman

Didn't he also play on Live & Let Die?
That's actually my memory of him from childhood. Long before I even knew who The Beatles were I recall seeing Wings play that song on tv one night & for some reason, I was focused on Henry & his guitar. Don't ask me why, but I noticed a couple of the strings on his guitar were left uncut & I thought that was cool.
Anyway, a sad loss for rock. He was a good player who held his own very well.
*Looking back at old clips, it was actually "My Love" where I noticed Henry's strings. But still, such an odd thing for me to focus on as a kid. Though both songs were from that 'James Paul McCartney" special from '73.

In my collection McCullough played on the original Jesus Christ Superstar and on a Donovan-compilation.
Here's an article, including a quote from McCartney: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/henry-mccullough-dies/

We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973
Yes, he was in Wings for the non-LP singles Give Ireland Back.., Mary Had A Little Lamb, Hi Hi Hi and Live and Let Die as well as the RRS album.
"And when I go away....."
RIP
McCullough also played on Bullinamingvase by Roy Harper as well as the unreleased 1979 album tilted Commercial Breaks (later released by Harper's Science Friction label in 1994). He is the highlight of both albums, aside from Roy himself. RIP.
To be or not to be? That is the point. - Harry Nilsson.
He was a monster on "With A Little Help From My Friends" (Joe Cocker version).
