Nice duet
Rodrigo_Amaro17 April 2024
One of those songs that is often referenced but not much played out there. I listen quite rarely, must say, it's one of those things that I remember from time to time. Yet one must praise a little the efforts put by McCartney and Wonder as one of the nicest duets of the 1980's, as addressing the importance of tolerance among races - though most find it corny the analogy it makes with the piano keyboards. The video shows the diversity of the performs but also made its point with their clothing, which shifts from black and white in between shots. Fine concept, though it's not much of a highly memorable video from both artists. 7/10.

McCartney and Wonder

Warning: Spoilers
Paul McCartney had his duo phase in the 1980s, so here he sings Ebony and Ivory with the legendary Stevie Wonder, and they have a lot of fun, and the song is about bridging the racial gap, especially with what was happening in South Africa at the time. Later Paul teamed up with Michael Jackson for three songs: The Man, The Girl is Mine, and Say Say Say. Anyway, Ebony and Ivory is catchy indeed and it's a testament to the power of the song that it was released over 40 years ago and it lives on for sure in a world that's run amok with craziness init.
