NEW YORK - Paul McCartney will have a previously unreleased song on the upcoming soundtrack to "The In-Laws," due May 20 on Rhino Records.

The McCartney song, "A Love for You," was originally recorded in 1971. McCartney also has two other tracks on the album that he recorded with his former band, Wings: a previously unreleased version of "Live and Let Die" (the 1973 James Bond film theme that reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) and "I'm Carrying," a song that first appeared on Wings' 1978 album, "London Town."

"The In-Laws," a Warner Bros. Pictures comedy, arrives May 23 in U.S. theaters. The film stars Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks as two future fathers-in-law who have a series of misadventures leading up to their children's' wedding. It's a remake of the 1979 film of the same name, which starred Peter Falk and Alan Arkin.
