Artist:The Cure
Song:Hello Goodbye
Album:The Art of McCartney
Tribute albums can be a good source of discography orphans except sometimes the producers of those albums don't do a music video. This 2014 tribute to Paul McCartney features a music video by the British band The Cure featuring McCartney's son James McCartney on keyboards. The guy behind this album is producer Ralph Sall. He has also produced tribute albums to The Grateful Dead, Eagles and The Doors. He's mostly a music supervisor on films and he was working with McCartney on music for the 2003 film The In-Laws when he got the idea to do a McCartney tribute album. Sall got the word out and Brian Wilson was the first to contribute with a cover of Wanderlust. It's a 2CD set so it took twenty years to compile it and it was released in 2014. Sony is the distributor. The video of Hello Goodbye by The Cure was released before the album release. As I said, McCartney's son James McCartney appears in the video. Others appearing on the album are Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Heart, Steve Miller, Yusuf Islam, Harry Connick Jr., Brian Wilson, Corinne Bailey Rae, Willie Nelson, Jeff Lynne, Barry Gibb, Jamie Cullum, Kiss, Paul Rodgers, Roger Daltrey, Def Leppard, Chrissie Hynde, Cheap Trick, Owl City, Perry Farrell, Dion Allen Toussaint, Dr. John Smokey Robinson, The Airborne Toxic Event, Alice Cooper, Toots Hibbert with Sly & Robbie, B.B. King and Sammy Hagar. The album is also available in various box sets and bonus editions if you are so inclined. My guess is Beatles fans would be interested in this album. Here's the video for Hello Goodbye by The Cure.
