Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey - Paul McCartney & Linda McCartney - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"We're so sorry, Uncle Albert / We're so sorry if we caused you any pain / We're so sorry, Uncle Albert / But there's no one left at home, and I believe I'm gonn a rain," sings Paul McCartney in the earnest opening verse of this thunderstorm-streaked art-folk collage "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey." Released as the second single released from Paul and Linda McCartney’s 1971 album Ram, the song – which was crafted from a string of different song pieces and paints from a palette of sound effects – climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1971, knocking off The Bee Gees and notably becoming Paul McCartney's first Number 1 post-Beatles hit. He also won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists in 1971 for the song, which delivers a central message of togetherness in the chorus: "Hands across the water (Water) / Heads across the sky / Hands across the water (Water) / Heads across the sky."
