"Once Upon a Long Ago" is a song by English musician Paul McCartney, released as his fortieth single on 16 November 1987, from his compilation All the Best!, released two weeks before the single. The track was produced by Phil Ramone and mixed by George Martin, and features violin by Nigel Kennedy. It was reported in a 2011 biography that the song was originally composed for the film The Princess Bride, after McCartney was approached by the film's director Rob Reiner to contribute original songs and the incidental music for the film. Reiner rejected the two songs Paul submitted, "Once Upon a Long Ago" and "Beautiful Night", deeming them "too sentimental," and contracted Mark Knopfler to complete the soundtrack instead.more »
