It is a miracle that this man, Paul McCartney, was born into this world, to do exactly what he did, (and what he is still doing). If The Beatles was his "floor", then what in heaven's name will his "ceiling" be? He is easily the greatest songwriter who ever lived already. Who could possibly top his work? And he is still going... at 80! And there is yet another Beatle left, Ringo Starr! Ringo and his All Star Band are still touring, and Ringo is 81!! Thank you God for letting us have them for so long! May they both live to be 100!
Bob Dylan is up there with Paul as a songwriter. Dylan is a superior wordsmith, though not as commercially successful. Obviously, Paul is in a different league as regards singing and musicianship.
@@davidrowe7967 Up there? Fathoms beyond. Paul never wrote anything as adult and powerful as Blood On The Tracks. He's basically a Cole Porter for the modern age.
my fave musician ever...and I was born after the beatles broke up...as a 4 year old in the late 70s I was hearing wings all over the radio as well as coming up in the winter of 80...was hooked on the melodies and that voice...he's been my favorite ever since....the talent , the songs, and the look....the perfect rock star
Maybe we’re amazed at the way you’ve helped us sing our songs, and to right us when we’re wrong. Maybe we’re amazed at the way we really need ya.....keep goin strong Paul!!! 👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎸🎸....we still need you mate!!!
McCartney will never be forgotten. I have huge respect for him - he never went crazy when he easily could have done. He is also very tough, you don’t get to be where he is and stay there if your soft. There is the public Paul and the private Paul. The private man hardly anyone knows and that’s the way it should be. This documentary is ok, it’s reinforces his public image and not much more. I like him for the way he and Linda raised their family as much as I like a lot of the music. You take care Paul.
Yes i agree. Paul and the rest of the beatles have to be tough to survive all the things they went through plus the fact that the cavern environment was quiet rough too
If it’s possible to love a man that you’ve never seen in person, I love Paul. His music and his personality are beautiful and he wrote and performed a good number of songs that have made up the sound track of my life. I’m a music composer, I play piano, keyboards and guitar and have recorded and produced my own songs and have most of them on TH-cam. My music is crap if compared to the least of his. My goal in my music is to compose something so beautiful that Paul would tell me, “Good job, mate!”
I remember when the Beatles Hamburg album came out. There was a cut on it called Till There Was You, and I said to my wife, that's the voice of an Angel right there! 💞
Paul McCartney, truly a blessed human being. Everyone should have a heart and soul such as his, it would be a much better world. and still playing and singing...
John and Paul were equals. That's why they became such great friends and were able to write classic songs most of which were universal. They'll live forever world wide.
My favourite story about Paul is how he and Linda raised their kids. 4 bedroom house. No nanny’s. They took their kids on the road, no boarding schools. They wanted to raise normal well adjusted kids.
You just never get over him. In 1964 my world was turned upside down by the four of them. It scares me to think of what the world of music would have been, what life would have been, if they had never “made it”. But how could they not make it? They were destined to be what they were. I’ll keep loving Paul this much all the rest of my days.
A few weeks after they started having songs (1964) on the radio it seems about the half the boys in my elementary school had a guitar including myself. (I really wanted drums) Now we have places like Guitar Center and more guitars than ever all due to The Beatles.
Yes friend I'm right with you. I've loved all of them together and separately for the most part of my life . I will always love Paul. And John reminded me of myself .I love the easy goings of Ringo. George will always be my spiritual brother. The Beatles changed the world not just the music,,but the thinking of our generation
Linda was an integral part of the sound of Wings. Her duets with Paul identified the group and them together as a great combination. There was no auto-tuning back then. She had to work to harmonize so well. She's often overlooked and unappreciated. Think of "Band on the Run" without her. Yep... me neither.
Agreed. I think her vocal tone provided the alternate sound he was searching for after the Beatles. He’s touched on it but, as per norm, has never wanted to speak about the nitty gritty of his process.
we've reached a point in time now, where we're losing our greatest musical heroes and influences, and dare i say it, popular music is rapidly becoming swamped with people who couldn't play an instrument or compose a real song if their life depended on it...i'm not saying there's no talent out there, because there is, but real organic music and musicians are fading out of popular culture. I hope we all realise how privileged we are to have lived in the same brief window of history as Paul McCartney. I can say with a fair amount of certainty, that we, and future generations will wait a very long time before witnessing this kind of genius again.
In one way it might be good is that there will be no more stars coz they only do one or two songs and no one really knows who they are listening to now anyway
Jay76 you have eloquently put in words what I have ALWAYS felt about Paul McCartney and the music both he as a solo artist, leader of WINGS and of course as one fourth of the Beatles, has created for so many years. Music that has come out today does absolutely NOTHING for me. It doesn't make me feel, or stir any emotion in me. I am SO THANKFUL that I was a 16 year old girl in the early months of 1964 (turned 17 in March of that year) and immediately fell head over heels for the Beatles SIGHT UNSEEN when first hearing "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" on the radio one cold December morning in 1963. It was nothing like what we were used to hearing. Then after seeing photos and seeing them perform live for the first time on Feb, 9, 1964....well Paul took my breath away and he has been my favorite Beatle ever since. I just love him and always will, for his music, his wit, his compassion, how he was with his family and for just being an incredible human being. THANK YOU PAUL for being the sound track of my life with The Beatles, Wings and all your other bandmates over the years. We are both old now, you being only 5 years older than me, but I look back and just think....it's been quite a ride for those of us who loved and appreciated your music. ROCK ON, Sir Paul....much love and happiness from Cleveland, Ohio.
Linda McCartney was a wonderful woman and was caring and kind, promoting animal rights. Sad day when she died. I went to see Paul and his band perform at Hyde Park back in 2009 and it was one of the best days of my life.
He has fun. Always has. He loves all sorts of music. Always has. Had a sense of "the business" and the drive to keep on. Always has. Came to the "brink" now and again, but always managed to step back. Had a decent family life in a not-so-grotty working class world though much was grotty nearby. Smart. Probably could have done much better in school if it weren't so boring and not quite as rigid as it was at the time and gave him more time to think laterally, as he does. (Left-handed peeps! Stick together!) He's a basically happy person and can and does take leadership. Made a great choice in his first wife and band partner, Linda. Whether or not he had been part of the Beatles, Paul would have been a working musician, making a living and likely more. I went to one of his post-Beatles concerts a few years ago, and his respectful tribute to his father was that of a man who was "centered". Yet also musically interesting. Endlessly curious. Loves art. A not-so-silent major collector. Respects education. Built a school. His children (as far as I know) like him. Still full of Liverpool and wanting a cup of tea on time. Certainly not perfectly nice all the time. Humans are complex, but Paul is as open as one might be and still be "famous". Yes, I had a mad crush on him. And yes, I wish him all the best. Oh, and as far as a rock-and-roll "screamer" and a complex "melody maker" as well as a "hard rocker" -- he's the dude. Empath? Yes. Often thinking about the audience and what the audience would like, and the stories of people he liked.
Wow never seen this one before. Thank for the upload. Some wonderful quotes in there, trying to explain the phenomenon "Paul McCartney", but it is very hard to do him justice in words.
One of the most magical human beings to ever walk the planet. I adore him so much, I almost get choked up about it. He has influenced my musical life so much, and helped me live a more fulfilling existence just due to his spiritual and artistic inspiration. ❤️🙏
God it's going to suck when Paul is finally gone. He's been like everyone's distant family member - he's there, you know he's there and you hope he's always going to be there -- and then he's not and then and only then you realize that the time is gone that you suddenly wish you has spent with him.
It's so moving watching these type of documentaries where show you all the artist has done in his life. It's unbelieveable how he's still with us, still sharing music and with too much joy of singing in concerts. It's so emotional all the long road he had to walk, knowing perfectly what is success and what is failure. I just can say that he didn't have luck, he just had the chance to meet the right people (John Lennon and his band The Quarrymen where Paul found the chance to sing and play his guitar, Brian who discovered him and his other fellas, George Martin who trust in Paul and helped him in produce all his songs with The Beatles, his wife Linda who showed him a new lifestyle and she was the woman who encouraged him for begin his solo career, his current wife Nancy who love him and support him a lot... of course, I'm not mentioning all the producers, mate band, directors and so on he has known in his entire life so it's really beautiful all those people have trust in him and his big talent. Definitely, this world won't be the same when he pass away... really love him but, mainly, i really admire him and I feel too much respect to his personal and professional life.
I have never heard or seen Paul be anything but kind. If . Had to pick one music icon Paul would be it. I do have one question. I remember hearing or reading that he was crazy tight with his billions. Now He obviously buys what he wants but over the years was Paul generous to his fellow band mates. Ether way Cheers Paul. I love you no matter what.
@Forensic Files: Paul McCartney Missing Since 1966 : Vivian Stanshall, Percy Thrillington and Apollo C Vermouth come to mind. So yes, he was probably wearing a latex mask. Take care.
@Forensic Files: Paul McCartney Missing Since 1966 Hi, Again. The other two are Faul's other characters that he played. Question for you. What is that holy-grail piece of evidence that convinces you that Paul was replaced? Make it a great day!
"John will always be that legend while Paul is still a living legend and no doubt, God forbid.. um, when Paul, and we all snuff it, he will come probably go down in history much bigger than what Lennon did, I have to say" - Cilla Black :c when that day comes, I´ll proceed to make an Irish wake for McCartney but no doubt, I shook a little hearing that this day is a possible eventuality in my own lifetime. I really can't thank The Beatles enough for their music, and Paul is certainly a great ankle of joy in this World.
@@yunusbarna6380 I think with all due respect, it is true that their names will both will tie together, and they will be remembered as a songwriting partnership.
I think the greatest stuff Lennon and McCartney did was when they were together. Both were far less when they went their own ways. So it doesn't make sense really to say what Paul did was bigger than what John did, since they both fell far musically when they separated. It was the duo that was great, and you cannot separate out from that duo really what one contributed and what the other contributed, because they formed a team that was more than the mere sum of its parts.
To me, Paul's best years were with the Beatles. I think all the Beatles were like 100 times better together than when they went their own way. Paul's voice when he was with the Beatles was multifaceted to an incredible degree. He could sing in so many different ways, all of them gorgeous. He was in that sense "the man of a thousand voices." People don't often enough realize the fact that, although Paul could write gorgeous melodies almost at will, a huge part of what made those songs great was Paul's incredible singing voice, though I think his voice lost a lot of its versatility within a few years of leaving the Beatles. But it's very rare, if ever, that anyone can do a cover of his Beatles songs that is even remotely as good as Paul's own versions of those songs when he was with the Beatles. I mean, who can do Hey Jude like Paul did it? Watch that video of Hey Jude with Paul singing and John and George doing harmonies. What a gorgeous song, but it wouldn't be half so gorgeous without Paul's amazing voice. Amazing because so pleasant and beautiful and at the same time so natural, so artless in the best sense. And I think John knew well how incredible Paul was. You can hear it on Abbey Road at a certain point. The music is leading up to the point where Paul starts singing "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window." And as the music is building to that point, right before Paul breaks in with that line, you can hear John say "Oh look out!" because he knows what's coming is amazing and maybe the most beautiful part of the album.
To say Sir Paul McCartney is one heck of a blessed individual who shares his compassion with the world is an understatement but let's not forget that after so many decades he's still himself. He doesn't have an attitude, he doesn't see himself as better than others or anything like that. The same can be said about Sir Ringo Starr. They love making music and we are blessed that they still do. I can't help but see that same compassion in a lot of today's artists such as Sia and Taylor Swift who are also driven by making music because it's in them, it's the driving force behind their music and music is the language of the soul.
@@Bruce-1956 you should not worry Bruce, Macca from northern England working-class stock, and one thing about us northerner's were salt of the earth, no snobbery and would put anyone at ease.
First off I don't blame McCartney one single bit for being defensive! How would you feel when people keep saying over and over for years and years that Lennon was the rocker and you were lightweight and soft, when you know that's a total bunch of delusional BS? Second, what they're saying about Ebony and Ivory is more total delusional BS! That song is absolutely great and more relevant now than ever!
I agree, but Obla Di Obla Da is a pretty big matzah ball hanging there. Whenever I doubt him I just listen to their Lucille cover from the BBC sessions.
@@vangroover1903Why are you doubting McCartney in the first place?? There has never ever been a time when McCartney didn't rock out! Why do some overlook that and pick out the songs that didn't? There's plenty of both!
@@thumbsaloft Well, it's so saccharine and silly - it makes me cringe. 😁 Both McCartney and Stevie Wonder are songwriting geniuses as far as I'm concerned, and I don't doubt their sincerity, but oh, this terrible song - you're the first person I've come across that doesn't hate it!
I wouldn't agree with the lady who said Paul made the big time very fast. She apparently wasn't aware of all the times the Beatles were snubbed, the dingy accommodations, the half empty dance halls and the talks between the lads on whether it was worth continuing after 1960. They broke big in 1963 in the UK and 1964 in the US, that's about five to six years of schlepping around with John Lennon and George Harrison before that magical period started. Talk about paying your dues. No band today would survive the gauntlet the Beatles faced before finally becoming "the toppermost of the poppermost".
Yes. Apparently when they went to Hamburg they were playing on stage like 6 hours every other night for months and months at a time. They had much more on-stage experience than perhaps any band today. That was where they developed such tight live performances. It was only after that that they became famous. What a training they went through!
Imagine if the girls would have quit screaming and listened. Paul is very good at being famous. I adore him. Remember when prople thought their hair was really long?
I mean, it goes without saying that Paul McCartney is a legend, but why all this comparison to John Lennon, trying to make him out to have been the real leader of the Beatles, that he's going to be greater than John after he dies, John was John and Paul was Paul, and the combination of those two great talents gave us some of the best music of the 20th Century.
I agree. I don't know why people have to compare these two great artists, it is the same with Prince and Michael Jackson. They were all amazing, brilliant artists in their own right. I do hope Paul continues being amazing for a long time yet
Why because Billy is the far superior songwriter, musician, and singer and complexed musical arranger from 66 to 80 than Paul was from 62-66. There is no comparison and no argument to be had. The work speaks for itself. And yes Paul was no slouch either. That's assuming the 60s teenage fantasy is true .
What's with all the pop music snobbery regarding "Mull of Kintyre". Brilliant in its simplicity, instantly singalong able, unique sounding yet beyond the ability of any of those critics to come up with something better themselves.
Mull of Kintyre is amazing and beautiful and emotes love of history, nostalgia and beauty regardless of where you’re from. Sod that stupid critic who hates it. And ebony and ivory is also a great song with an inspiring basic message.
I love Paul Soo very much, and if he's happy, I'm thrilled!! I'm sorry that his and Heather's marriage didn't work out, but, I promise with all my heart and soul, to make our later years soon very fulfilling and happy! He's my world, my life!! I love him Soo! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
How Sir P. McCartney came to own the publishing of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" a story I heard through a Jazz Jam with Frederick Radke of The Harry James Band ( also some inside info on wife-Betty Grable). "Publishing Phenomena" And it Is a phenomena that actually cannot be taught. How do you teach how to write repeated million seller lyrics. Insights on publishing and this talk are very interesting to me. A lifetime of astounding publishing copyrights is worth examining. Too, Michael Jackson dealing with the Beatle catalog is becoming a legendary MusicProduction Business insight. I think one can understand the "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" story, If any song is unclaimed for publishing, then any one can claim it, as did Sir Paul.
@@cravinbob I agree. It's quite wrong to say that Paul was the leader. They were all leaders. John did start out as the leader. He seems to have written most of the early hits. But soon Paul and John were a team, and it was the team that was so incredible. By themselves, in their solo careers, neither of them was nearly as musically interesting as when they were a team.
Yes, I agree, because some people who may watch this won't KNOW what happened in his life after he just married Heather. They may think they are still together. Thankfully he found Nancy.
Only One Paul Mc Cartney? Don't tell that to the 'Paul is dead' brigade. I guess the Beatles were just so fortunate to find someone who not only looked like Paul, sounded like Paul, Played bass even better than paul and could even write better songs. LOL !
They are a strange bunch. They even reckon the Beatles didn't write their music. when sir Paul does finally pass what will they go onto then. Ringo is really called bongo and replaced Ringo. Some of the crap they come up with is truly mad. and they actually believe the stuff they spout
he was so much more than the, "cute Beatle", overshadowed by my own prejudices until recently (i am almost 70) Paul contributions to the success of the Beatles inclusive of his vocals, bass playing and song writing speak volumes about how if your lucky(and live long enough) your opinions can reflect a more honest understanding ...the closest to filling anything close to Paul"s shoes to date is Dave Grohl, Dave"s has experience both in and out of Nirvana
I have to disagree. The only one close to filling McCartney's shoes was John Lennon. Had John lived and went on with his work (without Yoko), we really would have seen something then.
I doubt whether a clone would be able to write like Paul, but might have an incredible voice like Paul's. But it would be pretty tough for the clone to live in the shadow of McCartney.
A little too sugary on his own but undeniably the one who pushed the Beatles to their most interesting work. Without him a hodgepodge of shapeless Lennon psychedelic songs and Harrison Krishna doodles.
I agree at least partly with your first sentence but your second sentence greatly underrates Lennon and the later Harrison. In some ways Lennon's melodies went in extremely pleasant and unpredictable directions that contributed mightily to the Beatle's greatest work. It was Lennon's contribution that balanced the "sugary" quality of McCartney, and McCartney's contribution that balanced the unsugary quality of Lennon. They were extraordinary together, much less so apart.
loved this, lots of great contributions of artist and people of all backgrounds. however, can we be honest for a moment, who the hell gives a flying f**k what Bono thinks
John and Paul haven't written a 10th of the songs actually together, than people think they did. For more often it was either a John song or a Paul song. Certainly after 1964 they hardly wrote together anymore.
A great documentary! I'm happy for the broadcaster, Michael Parkinson, who snagged Paul McCartney for an interview after asking for twenty-five years! At 44:55, Paul says that John Lennon would say what?
Ah ! It's all leading up to " Accept Heather " . That ended well . Paul survived , that's all that counts . Some suspicious characters endorsing the lad . He soars above them . Richard Branson ?? Ch'yeah , right.

Probably could have done much better in school if it weren't so boring and not quite as rigid as it was at the time and gave him more time to think laterally, as he does. (Left-handed peeps! Stick together!) He's a basically happy person and can and does take leadership. Made a great choice in his first wife and band partner, Linda. Whether or not he had been part of the Beatles, Paul would have been a working musician, making a living and likely more. I went to one of his post-Beatles concerts a few years ago, and his respectful tribute to his father was that of a man who was "centered". Yet also musically interesting. Endlessly curious. Loves art. A not-so-silent major collector. Respects education. Built a school. His children (as far as I know) like him. Still full of Liverpool and wanting a cup of tea on time. Certainly not perfectly nice all the time. Humans are complex, but Paul is as open as one might be and still be "famous". Yes, I had a mad crush on him. And yes, I wish him all the best. Oh, and as far as a rock-and-roll "screamer" and a complex "melody maker" as well as a "hard rocker" -- he's the dude. Empath? Yes. Often thinking about the audience and what the audience would like, and the stories of people he liked.
Wow never seen this one before. Thank for the upload. Some wonderful quotes in there, trying to explain the phenomenon "Paul McCartney", but it is very hard to do him justice in words.
Linda was a lifesaver for Paul.
Paul McCartney a great person and the best musician in the world!💖 Thank you very much, Obscure Content, for sharing!
One of the most magical human beings to ever walk the planet. I adore him so much, I almost get choked up about it. He has influenced my musical life so much, and helped me live a more fulfilling existence just due to his spiritual and artistic inspiration. ❤️🙏
God it's going to suck when Paul is finally gone. He's been like everyone's distant family member - he's there, you know he's there and you hope he's always going to be there -- and then he's not and then and only then you realize that the time is gone that you suddenly wish you has spent with him.
Oh yeah, i can totally relate. I wish him so much health and long long years ahead!
Yes. After John died, I had a bit of a funk hovering over me for about 3 years! It was as if he were one of my closest friends!

💯 years time they’ll still be talking about him live love and leave a legacy Paul you’ve done it
It's so moving watching these type of documentaries where show you all the artist has done in his life.
It's unbelieveable how he's still with us, still sharing music and with too much joy of singing in concerts.
It's so emotional all the long road he had to walk, knowing perfectly what is success and what is failure. I just can say that he didn't have luck, he just had the chance to meet the right people (John Lennon and his band The Quarrymen where Paul found the chance to sing and play his guitar, Brian who discovered him and his other fellas, George Martin who trust in Paul and helped him in produce all his songs with The Beatles, his wife Linda who showed him a new lifestyle and she was the woman who encouraged him for begin his solo career, his current wife Nancy who love him and support him a lot... of course, I'm not mentioning all the producers, mate band, directors and so on he has known in his entire life so it's really beautiful all those people have trust in him and his big talent.
Definitely, this world won't be the same when he pass away... really love him but, mainly, i really admire him and I feel too much respect to his personal and professional life.
I have never heard or seen Paul be anything but kind. If . Had to pick one music icon Paul would be it. I do have one question. I remember hearing or reading that he was crazy tight with his billions. Now He obviously buys what he wants but over the years was Paul generous to his fellow band mates. Ether way Cheers Paul. I love you no matter what.
A latex mask,you say? Fascinating. Tell us more.
@Forensic Files: Paul McCartney Missing Since 1966 : Vivian Stanshall, Percy Thrillington and Apollo C Vermouth come to mind. So yes, he was probably wearing a latex mask. Take care.
@Forensic Files: Paul McCartney Missing Since 1966 Hi, Again. The other two are Faul's other characters that he played. Question for you. What is that holy-grail piece of evidence that convinces you that Paul was replaced? Make it a great day!
Go, Paul, do it all!!! The world loves you, so do I.
"John will always be that legend while Paul is still a living legend and no doubt, God forbid.. um, when Paul, and we all snuff it, he will come probably go down in history much bigger than what Lennon did, I have to say" - Cilla Black
:c when that day comes, I´ll proceed to make an Irish wake for McCartney but no doubt, I shook a little hearing that this day is a possible eventuality in my own lifetime.
I really can't thank The Beatles enough for their music, and Paul is certainly a great ankle of joy in this World.
ah, but john was killed tragically, that might just make his legacy always a bit bigger in history
@@yunusbarna6380 I think with all due respect, it is true that their names will both will tie together, and they will be remembered as a songwriting partnership.
I think the greatest stuff Lennon and McCartney did was when they were together. Both were far less when they went their own ways. So it doesn't make sense really to say what Paul did was bigger than what John did, since they both fell far musically when they separated. It was the duo that was great, and you cannot separate out from that duo really what one contributed and what the other contributed, because they formed a team that was more than the mere sum of its parts.
Meeting Paul was one of the most treasured moments in my life.
To me, Paul's best years were with the Beatles. I think all the Beatles were like 100 times better together than when they went their own way. Paul's voice when he was with the Beatles was multifaceted to an incredible degree. He could sing in so many different ways, all of them gorgeous. He was in that sense "the man of a thousand voices." People don't often enough realize the fact that, although Paul could write gorgeous melodies almost at will, a huge part of what made those songs great was Paul's incredible singing voice, though I think his voice lost a lot of its versatility within a few years of leaving the Beatles. But it's very rare, if ever, that anyone can do a cover of his Beatles songs that is even remotely as good as Paul's own versions of those songs when he was with the Beatles. I mean, who can do Hey Jude like Paul did it? Watch that video of Hey Jude with Paul singing and John and George doing harmonies. What a gorgeous song, but it wouldn't be half so gorgeous without Paul's amazing voice. Amazing because so pleasant and beautiful and at the same time so natural, so artless in the best sense. And I think John knew well how incredible Paul was. You can hear it on Abbey Road at a certain point. The music is leading up to the point where Paul starts singing "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window." And as the music is building to that point, right before Paul breaks in with that line, you can hear John say "Oh look out!" because he knows what's coming is amazing and maybe the most beautiful part of the album.

To say Sir Paul McCartney is one heck of a blessed individual who shares his compassion with the world is an understatement but let's not forget that after so many decades he's still himself. He doesn't have an attitude, he doesn't see himself as better than others or anything like that. The same can be said about Sir Ringo Starr. They love making music and we are blessed that they still do. I can't help but see that same compassion in a lot of today's artists such as Sia and Taylor Swift who are also driven by making music because it's in them, it's the driving force behind their music and music is the language of the soul.
Yes, it's great to see people, like the Beatles, who can keep their heads despite the most incredible fame. They didn't become megalomaniacs.
Paul McCartney is our today's Mozart
The NUMBER ONE person in the world I want to meet.
I wouldn't know what to say to him. I would probably just stutter....
@@Bruce-1956 Maybe I'd try say something clever and ask him about Harry and his box (reference to a running gag on the BBC-sessions).
@@Bruce-1956 you should not worry Bruce, Macca from northern England working-class stock, and one thing about us northerner's were salt of the earth, no snobbery and would put anyone at ease.
All songs where perfect
One and only🌍🌟 thanks, love ,& deep respect 💖🙏👍🥰
Having these celebrities discussing Paul McCartney doesn't do the man justice.
First off I don't blame McCartney one single bit for being defensive! How would you feel when people keep saying over and over for years and years that Lennon was the rocker and you were lightweight and soft, when you know that's a total bunch of delusional BS?
Second, what they're saying about Ebony and Ivory is more total delusional BS! That song is absolutely great and more relevant now than ever!
Ebony And Ivory.
Nice sentiment and all that, but come on - the song itself is horrible!
@@tonybates7870I don't hear one single thing that's horrible about the song!
I agree, but Obla Di Obla Da is a pretty big matzah ball hanging there. Whenever I doubt him I just listen to their Lucille cover from the BBC sessions.
@@vangroover1903Why are you doubting McCartney in the first place?? There has never ever been a time when McCartney didn't rock out! Why do some overlook that and pick out the songs that didn't? There's plenty of both!
@@thumbsaloft
Well, it's so saccharine and silly - it makes me cringe. 😁
Both McCartney and Stevie Wonder are songwriting geniuses as far as I'm concerned, and I don't doubt their sincerity, but oh, this terrible song - you're the first person I've come across that doesn't hate it!
Sir Paul has been a blessing to this world and long may it be 👍🙏
Loved watching this, even though it's clearly many years old. Thanks so much for uploading it
I wouldn't agree with the lady who said Paul made the big time very fast. She apparently wasn't aware of all the times the Beatles were snubbed, the dingy accommodations, the half empty dance halls and the talks between the lads on whether it was worth continuing after 1960. They broke big in 1963 in the UK and 1964 in the US, that's about five to six years of schlepping around with John Lennon and George Harrison before that magical period started. Talk about paying your dues. No band today would survive the gauntlet the Beatles faced before finally becoming "the toppermost of the poppermost".
Yes. Apparently when they went to Hamburg they were playing on stage like 6 hours every other night for months and months at a time. They had much more on-stage experience than perhaps any band today. That was where they developed such tight live performances. It was only after that that they became famous. What a training they went through!
Loved this.
You're 33 too old for Rock n Roll and now is 79 and still the best so stupid question from the reporter Paul McCartney forever the best !!!!!!!!!
Imagine if the girls would have quit screaming and listened.
Paul is very good at being famous. I adore him.
Remember when prople thought their hair was really long?
I mean, it goes without saying that Paul McCartney is a legend, but why all this comparison to John Lennon, trying to make him out to have been the real leader of the Beatles, that he's going to be greater than John after he dies, John was John and Paul was Paul, and the combination of those two great talents gave us some of the best music of the 20th Century.
I agree. I don't know why people have to compare these two great artists, it is the same with Prince and Michael Jackson. They were all amazing, brilliant artists in their own right. I do hope Paul continues being amazing for a long time yet
It was precisely the combination of Paul and John that was so great. By themselves, after they split up, they weren't nearly so good, not even close.
Happy 80th, Paul 🥰❗️
Thank God he found Nancy.
I love that Paul and Linda sent their kids to the local comprehensive school because they were against private education
Fortunately there IS only 1 Paul McCartney. Unfortunately, this is not him
Goosebumps! Forever.
"Freedom" hands down the best words Paul ever penned. I wonder if he still believes it.
Justice now for the real paul McCartney
Why because Billy is the far superior songwriter, musician, and singer and complexed musical arranger from 66 to 80 than Paul was from 62-66. There is no comparison and no argument to be had. The work speaks for itself. And yes Paul was no slouch either. That's assuming the 60s teenage fantasy is true .
Heather Mills Yuck, she was self serving & tapped into his loss of Linda. He is now happy with Nancy but Linda will be in our hearts for ever.
Yes. Lovely Linda
Paul deserved MUCH better than Heather.
Turned out to be an ugly divorce! She hasn’t aged very well either
The one legged gold digger
Took 50 million from him? Rest easy, H.M. You really had to work for it.
They really called it wrong on Heather!
Paul could have retired to a life of opulence 50 years ago...but he loves the fans and playing music for them...more than anything.
PAUL IS A LEGEND, JOHN WAS ANOTHER LEGEND HIMSELF ....BUT SO WAS CILLA BLACK !....I LOVED HER ,AND MISS HER TOO SO MUCH 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
What's with all the pop music snobbery regarding "Mull of Kintyre". Brilliant in its simplicity, instantly singalong able, unique sounding yet beyond the ability of any of those critics to come up with something better themselves.
It just sounds like a Scottish traditional. If I wouldn't know better,
I'd never thought it was a McCartney composition.
Mull of Kintyre is amazing and beautiful and emotes love of history, nostalgia and beauty regardless of where you’re from. Sod that stupid critic who hates it. And ebony and ivory is also a great song with an inspiring basic message.
I love Paul Soo very much, and if he's happy, I'm thrilled!! I'm sorry that his and Heather's marriage didn't work out, but, I promise with all my heart and soul, to make our later years soon very fulfilling and happy! He's my world, my life!! I love him Soo! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
How Sir P. McCartney came to own the publishing of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" a story I heard through a Jazz Jam
with Frederick Radke of The Harry James Band ( also some inside info on wife-Betty Grable). "Publishing Phenomena"
And it Is a phenomena that actually cannot be taught. How do you teach how to write repeated million seller lyrics. Insights on publishing and this talk are very interesting to me. A lifetime of astounding publishing copyrights is worth examining. Too, Michael Jackson dealing with the Beatle catalog is becoming a legendary MusicProduction Business insight. I think one can understand the "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" story, If any song is unclaimed for publishing, then any one can claim it, as did Sir Paul.
I blink my eyes and I'm 7 playing old pram wheels stuck in the mud as pretend drums along to Beatles songs, now I'm 64,
Linda is not Yoko. Linda is not hiding under a blanket screaming: she is playing music.
Great content. Thank you.
The most ironic documentary title of all time
Bob Geldof nailed one thing… it’s so unfair that John is thought of as the groovy/edgy one when Paul did so damned much and gave himself to us.
Paul was the Real Leader , but he let John think he was in a diplomatic way of not looking for a fight
It was four guys that were The Beatles, those particular four and none were the leader they all were equals.
@@cravinbob I agree. It's quite wrong to say that Paul was the leader. They were all leaders. John did start out as the leader. He seems to have written most of the early hits. But soon Paul and John were a team, and it was the team that was so incredible. By themselves, in their solo careers, neither of them was nearly as musically interesting as when they were a team.
After Sept 11 1966 William took over the beatles
At minute 16, Mike Myers gives away the premise of the movie Yesterday for free, 17 years earlier...
Can we just edit out the Heather Mills out of this. I think we can all agree on that…
Yes, I agree, because some people who may watch this won't KNOW what happened in his life after he just married Heather. They may think they are still together. Thankfully he found Nancy.
Agree. Ugh.

The part about Heather didn't age well.
Good of Richard Branson to take the blame though.
an honor to see david gilmour here too
They had it wrong about Heather.
Thank goodness for Nancy.
The men commenting just didn’t really get Beatlemania clearly. Meryl did!
Only One Paul Mc Cartney? Don't tell that to the 'Paul is dead' brigade. I guess the Beatles were just so fortunate to find someone who not only looked like Paul, sounded like Paul, Played bass even better than paul and could even write better songs. LOL !
They are a strange bunch. They even reckon the Beatles didn't write their music. when sir Paul does finally pass what will they go onto then. Ringo is really called bongo and replaced Ringo. Some of the crap they come up with is truly mad. and they actually believe the stuff they spout
I probably should keep my mouth shut about these people. They are LOSERS to say the least.
Paul does seem quirky. He's a different cat, that's for sure.
excellent.
Yes, he's Billy
Paul mcCartney bass player died at 81. Paul's real name was chas newby. Although his name was Paul back in 66.
he was so much more than the, "cute Beatle", overshadowed by my own prejudices until recently (i am almost 70) Paul contributions to the success of the Beatles inclusive of his vocals, bass playing and song writing speak volumes about how if your lucky(and live long enough) your opinions can reflect a more honest understanding ...the closest to filling anything close to Paul"s shoes to date is Dave Grohl, Dave"s has experience both in and out of Nirvana
I have to disagree. The only one close to filling McCartney's
shoes was John Lennon. Had John lived and went on with his
work (without Yoko), we really would have seen something then.
@@nelgstuart3442 Brian Wilson of course.
Sir Bob Getoff sure knows a lot about "piss". 8:26
The reference to Carolina Moon here and the mention in Get Back
Sir Paul is one in a billion, can scientists please clone him LOL so that we always have new music from him.
I doubt whether a clone would be able to write like Paul, but might have an incredible voice like Paul's. But it would be pretty tough for the clone to live in the shadow of McCartney.
William has done a great job since Sept 11 1966.@@Eduardude
Wow, great review for not-Paul.
16:27 I see where someone got their plot inspiration for the movie “YESTERDAY” 2019. Guess Mike Myers should have some writer credits.
Billions into Liverpool as well, it’s still full of tourist October 2021
A little too sugary on his own but undeniably the one who pushed the Beatles to their most interesting work. Without him a hodgepodge of shapeless Lennon psychedelic songs and Harrison Krishna doodles.
You nailed it.
I agree at least partly with your first sentence but your second sentence greatly underrates Lennon and the later Harrison. In some ways Lennon's melodies went in extremely pleasant and unpredictable directions that contributed mightily to the Beatle's greatest work. It was Lennon's contribution that balanced the "sugary" quality of McCartney, and McCartney's contribution that balanced the unsugary quality of Lennon. They were extraordinary together, much less so apart.
От фильма получил огромное удовольствие!
loved this, lots of great contributions of artist and people of all backgrounds. however, can we be honest for a moment, who the hell gives a flying f**k what Bono thinks
Well paul creates great music and has a good eye for the women the total opposite with john and yoko
The title is a plain sight bit of duper's delight. Those that know, know...
Paul and john two heads are better than one and this lead to a catalist of great tunes no one only benny and bjorn have accomplished since.
And even ABBA didn't have the range of Lennon/McCartney.
John and Paul haven't written a 10th of the songs actually together, than people think they did. For more often it was either a John song or a Paul song. Certainly after 1964 they hardly wrote together anymore.
A great documentary! I'm happy for the broadcaster, Michael Parkinson, who snagged Paul McCartney for an interview after asking for twenty-five years! At 44:55, Paul says that John Lennon would say what?
Geldof and Bono should never be allowed to give their opinion on any topic, especially music.
People who can't even spell people's names correctly should never be allowed to express their opinions about them in public.
Bono wants to be John Lennon but will never be
@@MultiJoe84 For many people he surpassed John in most areas...
