About Paul McCartney

James Paul McCartney was born on June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England. After primary school at age 11, McCartney attended the now closed Liverpool Institute, and met George Harrison while on a bus ride to the school. His first exposure to music was by his father, Jim, and he wrote two songs, "I Lost My Little Girl" and "When I'm Sixty-Four" before the age of fifteen. In July 1957, McCartney met John Lennon and skiffle band The Quarrymen. Several weeks after the meeting, McCartney joined the band.

Over the next couple of years, The Quarrymen went through several name and lineup changes. Harrison joined the Quarrymen in 1958, Stu Sutcliffe in January 1960, and Pete Best in August of the same year. Based upon a suggestion from Sutcliffe, the band eventually changed its name to The Beatles. Best and Sutcliffe later left the band for various reasons, and Ringo Starr replaced Best as drummer. Throughout the rest of the 1960s, the Beatles grew to worldwide stardom, with Paul McCartney and John Lennon forming one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of all time. First achieving superstar success in their home Britain, the group got their first introduction to American audiences in 1964 during a trip to New York City, and Beatlemania spread to the U.S. The band eventually produced 11 number one records in the U.K. and 14 in the U.S. They toured for the last time in 1966 after which they concentrated their time in the studio. In 1970, after a great deal of tension arose among the members, the Beatles officially broke up.

In April 1970, Paul McCartney released his self-titled debut solo album, which spent three weeks in the U.S. at number one, according to All Music. Less than a year after leaving the Beatles, McCartney formed a new group, Wings, with his wife Linda. Among its membership included Denny Laine, a former drummer for The Moody Blues. During that band's ten year life they released seven albums, including four chart toppers. Wings broke up in 1981 and McCartney returned to a solo career, having previously released McCartney II in 1980 and further releasing the chart topping Tug of War in 1982. McCartney's success slipped in the U.S. during the 1980s, although at home in the U.K. most of his albums were in the top 10, including the number one albums Give My Regards to Broad Street and Flowers in the Dirt. It was also during the 1980s that McCartney first worked with pop star Michael Jackson, though the partnership ended when Jackson bought publishing rights to most of the Beatles songs.

Most of the 1990s was devoted to McCartney's side projects, including The Fireman, as well as work with Ringo Starr and George Harrison on the three Beatles Anthology albums. Paul McCartney's U.S. popularity returned in 1997 with Flaming Pie, his first release after completing the anthology albums. His re-emergence in America continued with the release of Chaos and Creation in the Backyard in 2005, which peaked at number six. In 2007, he produced Memory Almost Full, which reached number three in the U.S. and number five in the U.K. Paul McCartney has performed in concert and recorded with a number of fellow artists, including Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Bob Geldof, Pete Townshend, and George Michael. As well as his recording and touring career, McCartney is part owner of Apple Corps, Ltd., along with Ringo Starr and the estates of John Lennon and George Harrison. He is also the owner of MPL Communications, the organizer of his solo business interests.
