Maxwell – “Pretty Wings”
Maxwell graced us with a hit of melodic proportions with “Pretty Wings.” It not only was a success commercially, but also won a Grammy for best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
Regardless of the acclaim, Maxwell still had people make this song an ode to their loving relationships, when the song was about letting someone go.
Telltale lyrics: “You toyed with my affliction / Had to fill out my prescription / Found the remedy / Had to set you free”
Winston Churchill once said: “Tact is ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” Well, Maxwell apparently has a lot of tact… in the key of C!
