In 1981, Paul McCartney worked on his tribute album to John Lennon called Tug of War. One song in this album is Get It, to which recording session he invited Carl Perkins to provide vocals. Carl loved the experience and the following morning he wrote My Old Friend for Paul in appreciation. In fact, he recounted to Paul that usually when he writes he needs a pen and a sheet of paper to record his thoughts on, but this time the words just stuck with him.

He then played the song to Paul. And Paul, upon hearing the song, stormed out of the room crying. Linda who was left with Carl explained that Carl’s words hit Paul hard because John’s last words to Paul when they last met before he was shot dead were, “”Think about me every now and then, old friend”, words, which Carl unknowingly put into this song.”
