"No More Lonely Nights" is a song written by Paul McCartney, which was first released by him in September 1984, and it also can be heard on his Give My Regards to Broad Street album released later that year. The single reached #2 and #6 in the UK and US singles charts respectively.
On this track Paul McCartney sings lead vocal and plays piano, Linda McCartney and Eric Stewart sing backing vocals, David Gilmour plays guitar, Herbie Flowers plays bass, Anne Dudley plays synthesizer, and Stuart Elliot plays drums. The song was produced by George Martin.
On a radio interview prior to the Knebworth 1990 concerts, David Gilmour said to Jim Ladd about the recording quote ""No More Lonely Nights" was the last thing Paul recorded for Goodbye to Broad Street (was corrected by Jim Ladd who said Give My Regards to Broad Street) and he didn't know what he got for the session but told Paul McCartney to give his session fee to a charity of his choice" end quote. Gilmour and McCartney are very good friends. In fact, this was Gilmour's second appearance on a Paul McCartney project.
I love this song.
