Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey è un singolo discografico di Paul e Linda McCartney pubblicato nel 1971.

Descrizione

Il singolo venne pubblicato negli Stati Uniti il 2 agosto 1971,[2] dove raggiunse il primo posto della classifica Billboard Hot 100 lo stesso mese di pubblicazione ed in Canada per tre settimane vincendo il disco d'oro.[3][4] Paul McCartney vinse il premio Grammy Award per il miglior arrangiamento di un accompagnamento vocale nel 1971 per il brano in questione.[5]

Il brano è celebre anche per i suoi effetti sonori, che comprendono il suono di tuoni, fulmini, e pioggia, udibili tra la prima e la seconda strofa, il suono di una segreteria telefonica, dopo la seconda strofa, e lo stridio di gabbiani. La voce di Linda si può sentire nelle armonie vocali e nel coro del brano. Il pezzo fu anche la prima collaborazione post-Beatles tra McCartney e George Martin, che scrisse le partiture orchestrali del brano. La versione finale deriva da tre brani differenti, per i quali McCartney registrò altrettante demo con i titoli Admiral Halsey, Hands Across the Water e Gipsy Get Around.[6]

McCartney raccontò che il personaggio di "Uncle Albert" (zio Alberto) gli era stato ispirato da suo zio Albert Kendall. «È una persona che ricordo con affetto, e quando ho composto la canzone mi è uscita fuori una cosa un po' nostalgica».[7] McCartney disse anche, rivolgendosi ad un giornalista americano: «Invece Admiral Halsey, è uno dei vostri, un Ammiraglio americano», riferendosi all'Ammiraglio William Halsey.[7]
