Released in 1982, Tug of War was Paul’s first solo album after Wings’ split was confirmed, and followed the death of John Lennon, whose memory is poignantly evoked on the track ‘Here Today’. The album saw him reunite with producer George Martin and included two duets with Stevie Wonder, one of which, ‘Ebony And Ivory’, was number 1one on both sides of the Atlantic. The sessions were so fruitful that a number of songs were held over for Pipes of Peace, which followed in 1983. Upon its release, Tug of War was nominated for the 1983 Grammy for Album of the Year.
