A Paul McCartney Autograph

When the Beatles took over pop music and pop culture in the early 1960s, the only member who had the “parent seal of approval” was Paul McCartney. The teenage fans called him “the cute Beatle,” not the “dangerous” or “sexy one.” He looked younger, always seemed to be singing something innocent, like “yeah, yeah, yeah,” shaking that “moptop,” and he had that big smile, always.

When the Beatles relatively-short collaboration ended in 1970, McCartney re-invented himself as a solo artist and as the founder and leader of “Wings.” Now, almost 50 years after his musical influence began (as a member of The Quarrymen, prior to forming the Beatles), he is still a major musical presence with one of the longest and most-successful careers in music and entertainment history.

McCartney was born in 1942 in working class Liverpool. He teamed with John Lennon in 1956, and among the “Lennon-McCartney” hits were “I Want To Hold Your Hand, “All My Loving,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Back in the USSR,” “I’ve Just Seen a Face,” “Michelle,” and “Paperback Writer.” (Today, the collaborations with Lennon listed on McCartney’s own CDs names the team as “McCartney-Lennon.) Other McCartney standards written originally for the Beatles (and recorded by scores of others since) include “Yesterday,” “Let It Be,” “Hey Jude,” and “The Long and Winding Road.” His later hits include “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” and “Maybe I’m Amazed.”

Throughout the years, he has had a string of successful CDs, including many that benefit non-profit organizations, including animal welfare groups such at PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

His love for wife Linda (Eastman) was legendary. They had three children together (and Paul adopted Linda’s daughter, Heather, from an earlier marriage) and revealed that they had never spent a night apart all the years they were married until her death in 1998. He married Heather Mills in 2002; they had a daughter, and divorced in 2008.

The recipient of virtually every award in the entertainment industry, “Sir” Paul McCartney was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997.
