  Yusuf in the City of Angels

  Yusuf was in Los Angeles last week to finish the editing of the Boots & Sand music video, and to make a unique contribution to the legacy of Sir Paul McCartney.

  The Long and Winding Road was recorded by Yusuf at The Jim Henson Company Lot with Sir Paul’s tour band providing the backing. The session was a trip down memory lane as the studio was previously the home of A&M Records – where Yusuf, Carol King, The Carpenters and Herb Alpert used to meet and hang out. The history of the Lot goes back even further, being situated on the grounds of the film studio built by Charlie Chaplin in 1917.

  The track will be used on a future tribute album, with details to be announced.

  The music video for Boots & Sand is nearing completion, following Yusuf’s meeting with Jesse Dylan to finalise the editing.
