“I’m very pleased that I’m singing more now (in Wings) than I ever have before. This is something that I’ve always wanted to do. It was just a question of getting over the confidence thing...I used to be embarrassed about singing. I thought people would make laugh if I hit the wrong notes.” - Jimmy McCulloch
“Jimmy never really liked singing very much but eventually he understood why he had to, you know, to fill out the sound and why you need to sing because I’m a big believer. If I’m putting a band together and I need whatever musician it is, if I see two decent musicians, the guy that can sing is the guy that is going to get the job because you need backing vocals and everything else, especially live stuff. You can get away with murder when you’re recording but with live stuff you need plenty of vocals.” - Jack McCulloch Little Wing: The Jimmy McCulloch Story
