Beschreibung | Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE (* 18. Juni 1942 in Liverpool) ist ein britischer Musiker, Songwriter bzw. Singer-Songwriter, Liedtexter und Komponist sowie Musikproduzent, Maler und Filmproduzent. Der Oscar- und mehrfache Grammy-Preisträger wurde vor allem als Sänger und Bassist der Band The Beatles bekannt, für die er zusammen mit John Lennon die meisten Stücke geschrieben hat. Die Komponistenpartnerschaft Lennon/McCartney und auch McCartney selbst gelten als die erfolgreichsten Songwriter in der Geschichte der Popmusik. McCartneys Stück Yesterday ist der meistgespielte Popsong aller Zeiten. Nach dem Ende der Beatles startete Paul McCartney 1970 eine erfolgreiche Solokarriere und gründete mit seiner Frau Linda McCartney die bis 1981 bestehende Band Wings. Seit den 1980er Jahren arbeitet er fast ausschließlich als Solokünstler und widmet sich vermehrt auch anderen musikalischen Bereichen wie der elektronischen und klassischen Musik. |
George wrote Taxman, and I played guitar on it. He wrote it in anger at finding out what the taxman did. He had never known before then what could happen to your money.
To keep the record straight, it wasn't always John and Yoko. We've all accused one another of various business things we tend to be pretty paranoid by now, as you can imagine. There's a lot of money involved.
In the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.
And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.
Why would I retire? Sit at home and watch TV? No thanks. I'd rather be out playing.
My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy, very courteous.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
I'm a pretty hands-on dad and make the most of my custody. I take care of my little one whenever I can, and she determines what I can do and where I can do it.
Looking back, I think I was always musical. My dad was very musical, and I think my mom was musical.
Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.
I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. Strangely enough, I only started to get to know her after John's death.
When you first get money, you buy all these things so no one thinks you're mean, and you spread it around. You get a chauffeur and you find yourself thrown around the back of this car and you think, I was happier when I had my own little car! I could drive myself!
