About

James "Jimmy" McCulloch (4 June 1953 – 27 September 1979) was a Scottish musician best known for playing lead guitar and bass and singing backing and occasional lead vocals as a member of Paul McCartney's band Wings from 1974 to 1977. He was also a member of the Glasgow psychedelic band One in a Million (formerly known as the Jaygars), Thunderclap Newman, and Stone the Crows.

McCulloch also made appearances on many albums, including John Entwistle's Whistle Rymes in 1972, as lead guitarist playing alongside Peter Frampton on "Apron Strings" and "I Feel Better". McCulloch also played guitar on Roger Daltrey's album One of the Boys which was released in 1977.
McCulloch was a friend of the Who and a member of the band Thunderclap Newman, which was created and produced by his mentor Pete Townshend. He was discovered dead in his London home in September 1979, aged 26, of a morphine overdose/poisoning.
