John Lennon praises Paul McCartney's quirky hit 'Coming Up' from the 1980s

John Lennon expressed appreciation for Paul McCartney's song "Coming Up," a solo hit from the early 1980s. This was notable as Lennon typically did not follow McCartney's post-Beatles work. Lennon described "Coming Up" as a "good piece of work," despite its unusual sound, which some listeners found unappealing. The song had two versions, one of which featured altered vocals. "Coming Up" became a significant success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. It was part of McCartney's album "McCartney II," which also performed well on the charts.
