Featuring songs initially recorded during sessions for the George Martin-produced Tug Of War (1982) album, 1983's Pipes Of Peace continued Paul McCartney's rich vein of songwriting form and included two massive hits, the Michael Jackson duet "Say Say Say" and the title track. The collaboration with Jackson – then the biggest star on the planet thanks to the success of his Thriller album – extended to another track, the breezy "The Man." Lyrically, the album features Paul's thoughts on love, peace and the future, centered around the symbol of the pipes of peace.
