Paul McCartney

The Beatles began in 1957, when John Lennon formed a skiffle group with his friends called the Quarrymen. The band underwent many name and membership changes, culminating in 1962 with the famous line-up of Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

But by mid-to-late 70s the bitterness of his former band’s break up had mellowed and albeit slowly he and John Lennon were re-establishing their friendship and possibly songwriting partnership. In short, Paul was no longer depressed, so the reason why Wings was formed was no longer there.

But Wings, under McCartney’s direction, sold out some of the same arenas as the Beatles, produced a string of Top 10 hits, gold and platinum albums, and legions of devotees on both sides of the Atlantic. But the Beatles were, well, the Beatles, perhaps the biggest music act of all time.

By any measure, Paul McCartney is the most successful musician of all time. With his bands and his solo career, Sir Paul has sold more albums than anyone. McCartney is among the top Grammy winners, and he has dozens of platinum albums. And McCartney’s tours have ranked among the top 15 worldwide for the last six years.

McCartney’s biggest Hot 100 hit is Wings’ “Silly Love Songs,” which ruled the weekly chart for five nonconsecutive weeks in May, June and July of 1976. His No. 2 biggest hit is his chart-topping collaboration with Michael Jackson, “Say Say Say,” which spent six weeks at No.

Paul McCartney is a British vocalist, songwriter, composer, bass player, poet, and painter whose work with the Beatles in the 1960s helped lift popular music into a creative, highly commercial art form. He is also one of the most popular solo performers of all time, both in record sales and attendance at his concerts.

That said John had a quality to his voice that could be considered haunting. It was raw and edgy more so than Paul’s. Both were incredible but technically Paul had a better voice. It’s hard to say, Paul had a sweet voice but could also be screamy (helter skelter, oh!

One artist who’s personality type is often debated is John Lennon. It’s widely agreed that he was either INFP or ENFP. Most people arrive at one of these two types because there were a lot of clear signs that he was an iNtuitive and he favored introverted feeling to make judgements.

While John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s friendship did have an intense falling out, the two were ultimately on good terms before Lennon’s death in 1980. While speaking with The Times in 2020, McCartney opened up about where he and Lennon’s friendship left off and how they found their way back to one another.

Later, during an interview in 1980, Lennon stated: “I used my resentment against Paul… to create a song… not a terrible vicious horrible vendetta… I used my resentment and withdrawing from Paul and The Beatles, and the relationship with Paul, to write ‘How Do You Sleep’.
