When Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder performed 'Ebony and Ivory' together for Barack Obama
Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder first recorded their iconic collaboration ‘Ebony and Ivory’ in 1981 and it was released the following year as part of Paul’s album Tug of War.
In a throwback video, Paul and Stevie are seen performing the legendary song at the White House for former US President Barack Obama in 2010.
The performance was part of an experience titled Paul McCartney: In Performance at the White House - Paul performed several songs and a number of artists also took part and sang Paul’s music.
Stevie also performed his own version of Paul’s classic ‘We Can Work It Out’ - other tributes were made by Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl, Jack White, Faith Hill and The Jonas Brothers. Each performance highlighted the impact of Paul’s music across different genres and generations.
