Picture - Aretha Franklin

"The fashion was to go somewhere exotic, so I asked my record label, which was Emi... 'Can I have a list of your studios; I hear you have them all over the world,' and sure enough... there was was like Beijing, Rio de Janeiro and I chose Lagos... We went and we did it. When I got back there was a note that I should have received before I went away... saying, 'Advise you don't go to Lagos - outbreak of cholera'." SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY on the story behind his decision to record classic WINGS album Band on the Run in Nigeria.
