Waterfalls (Paul McCartney song) "Waterfalls" is a Paul McCartney ballad from his first solo album after Wings, "McCartney II". The song has a stripped-down sound, with McCartney only playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a synthesizer and singing, and a short solo most likely played on an acoustic guitar. It was released as a single with "Check My Machine" as its B-Side and reached chart position #9 in the UK. In the US, however, it was his first single ever to miss the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, only reaching number 106 despite being the follow-up to the number one hit "Coming Up". In 2013, "Rolling Stone" rated it the #25 all-time Paul McCartney post-Beatles song, describing how it contrasted with Wings' prior single.

Sentimental Journey (Ringo Starr album) Sentimental Journey is the debut studio album by English rock musician and former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, released in 1970, as the band was splintering apart. Although Starr was the third member of the group to issue solo work (after George Harrison and John Lennon), "Sentimental Journey" is notable for being the first non-avant-garde studio album by a member of the band, in light of the experimental, soundtrack or live releases his aforementioned bandmates had already released. Paul McCartney's debut, "McCartney", would follow three weeks after "Sentimental Journey"'s release. Recording of the album was completed in early March 1970, with "Sentimental Journey" being rushed out a few weeks later to avoid clashing in the shops with the Beatles' impending final album "Let It Be" in May.
