Recording: Dear Boy by Paul and Linda McCartney

Studio B, Sound Recorders Studio, Los Angeles
Producer: Jim Guercio
Engineer: Armin Steiner

Paul McCartney continued work on the Ram song ‘Dear Boy’ on 10 March 1971.

He added a second piano part, electric guitar, bass guitar, and backing vocals during this session. More backing vocals were recorded later in the week.

I do love harmonies, and always have. With ‘Dear Boy’ I had it obviously as an unharmonized thing because I was just singing the main vocal line myself when I wrote it. Because Linda and I both knew that she was a novice, and I was the veteran, almost, the question was how to manage those two ends of the spectrum.
