In a recent interview with BBC Radio 2's "Tracks of My Years" program, Paul McCartney said he hopes to release Prince's cover of The Beatles' "Long and Winding Road."
"I was with some guy a couple of years ago, so it was after Prince had died," McCartney recalled. "And this guy said, 'Have you heard Prince do 'Long and Winding Road?' I said, 'Well, no. That's one of my songs.' I said, 'I don't think he ever did it.' He said, 'Well, he did. He did it in rehearsal. He was rehearsing it for something.'"
McCartney added that the person, who was presumably Prince's photographer, sent the cover version to him. "It's really great," he said. "And so I'm going to sort of ask [the estate] … because I could make it into something really good… It's kind of rocky. He plays some really good guitar on it. He was a special guy."
The recording sent by Prince's photographer seemingly came from one of the several shows the song was performed by the late icon during his 2007 Las Vegas residency.
