Sing was written by Fran Healey.

In 2010 Healy released the solo album Wreckorder, which featured Paul McCartney on bass.

Therefore...

Silly Love Songs - Paul McCartney and Wings.

The late Denny Laine played guitar and co-wrote with Paul and Linda McCartney in Wings and was also the original guitarist and vocalist for the Moody Blues.

Denny Laine was replaced in the Moody Blues by Justin Hayward, who went on to appear in Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.

Also on that memorable double album was Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy.

The Boys Are Back In Town was chosen as record of the week on its release in 1976 by BBC Radio One DJ Tony Blackburn. Nine years earlier, Radio One was launched. The first record played was Flowers in the Rain by The Move. The DJ? Tony Blackburn.

Jeff Lynne was in The Move for a few years, but later became famous for Electric Light Orchestra.

So what could be the connection between Trashed by Black Sabbath and Mister Blue Sky by ELO? The answer, my friends, is that they both featured Bev Bevan on Drums!

Oh oh, you gave me an in to headbang in this thread. Ronnie James Dio joined Sabbath in 1979 after they canned original vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, then left over conflicts with other band members in 1981 and founded Dio with Sabbath drummer Vinnie Appice.

The guitar solo on Rainbow in the Dark was performed by Vivian Campbell, who, in 1992, joined Def Leppard.
