Tribute to Fats Waller

Published on January 10, 2012 by The Editor · No Comments

The Wowster on Paul McCartney’s homage to the legendary Fats Waller.

Kisses On The Bottom – the latest album from Paul McCartney – sounds a lot more risqué than it actually is.

It is in fact a tribute in part to the late and great Fats Waller and comes from the lyrics of I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Letter where he sings ‘a lot of kisses on the bottom’ (of the letter).

The latest offering from the most durable of the Beatles is made up of songs he listened to as a child plus two of his own songs My Valentine and Only Our Hearts.

The full track list.

01. I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter
02. Home (When Shadows Fall)
03. It’s Only A Paper Moon
04. More I Cannot Wish You
05. The Glory Of Love
06. We Three (My Echo, My Shadow And Me)
07. Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive
08. My Valentine
09. Always
10. My Very Good Friend The Milkman
11. Bye Bye Blackbird
12. Get Yourself Another Fool
13. The Inch Worm
14. Only Our Hearts
15. Baby’s Request (Deluxe Edition)
16. My One And Only Love (Deluxe Edition)

A taster from My Valentine
