Beautiful Night (Paul McCartney song)

"Beautiful Night" is a song by Paul McCartney and is the 13th track on his 1997 album Flaming Pie.

[2] A reviewer from Music Week gave "Beautiful Night" four out of five, stating that "this epic single stands as McCartney's best ballad since Only Love Remains and is a testament to his recaptured form on Flaming Pie.

"[5] The magazine's Alan Jones wrote, "Thus far, much of the attention surrounding the new Paul McCartney single Beautiful Night has centred on how lavish and controversial the video is.

But it's a vintage piece of McCartney, quite literally since it's an old song dusted down and renovated with an impeccable George Martin score and one of Macca's best vocals in a good while, with extra Beatley support coming from Ringo Starr and surrogate Beatle Jeff Lynne.

"[7] The video accompanying the single was directed by Julien Temple and had to be re-edited as a brief glimpse of a woman skinnydipping caused a minor controversy.
