The Best Husband & Wife Duos Music
(John and Paul both popped up onto the list.)
Plastic Ono Band
The Beatle and his artsy bride formed the Plastic Ono Band in 1969, the same year they exchanged vows at The Rock Hotel in Gilbraltar, and a year before the Fab Four’s last album and eventual breakup. John and Yoko’s first release together as the Plastic Ono Band was entitled Live Peace in Toronto 1969, a protest album about Britain’s involvement in the Nigerian Civil War that peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200 Chart. It was recorded live at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival Festival on September 13 1969 and featured Eric Clapton on lead guitar, long-time Beatles associate Klaus Voorman on bass, and a pre-Yes Alan White on drums. The Plastic Ono Band’s last release with Lennon was in 1975 with Shaved Fish, and Ono has since continued to operate under the moniker, including 2011’s collaborative EP with The Flaming Lips.
Wings
Linda McCartney (then, Eastman) first met The Beatles when she was a photographer for the band. In a slightly corny scenario, the two first shared an ‘eyes meeting across the dancefloor’ moment in 1967 at a UK nightclub. Two years later, they were married. “We had a lot of fun together,” Paul has said of their relationship. “Just the nature of how we are, our favourite thing really is to just hang, to have fun. And Linda's very big on just following the moment.” Wings, McCartney’s post-Beatles project featured his wife, though there was some criticism from fans who questioned her inclusion in the lineup. While his wife also featured heavily on his second solo album, 1971’s Ram, McCartney insisting that she been involved in his music so that he didn’t have to be away from her on tour. Wings went on to become one of the biggest bands of the 70s, being awarded numerous Grammy awards. The couple remained together for just shy of 30 years, until Linda’s death from breast cancer in 1998.
