High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Suzy and the Red Stripes was
a pseudonym used by the band Wings during the 1970s. The only release by
Wings under that name was a single written and sung by Linda McCartney
entitled "Seaside Woman", which was backed by "B-Side to Seaside."
According to an 1974 interview with Linda, she wrote the song during a
McCartney family visit to Jamaica in 1971 "when ATV was suing us saying
I was incapable of writing, so Paul said, 'Get out and write a song.'"
Wings first performed "Seaside Woman" live during the Wings University
Tour in February 1972. It was then recorded by Wings during the Red Rose
Speedway sessions later in 1972. The B-side was recorded in January
1974, consisting of "some chords I wrote in Africa, and we just talk
over it. It's very sort of Fifties R&B, the Doves, the Penguins."
