Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool on June 18, 1942. He was raised in the city and educated at The Liverpool Institute, where he did better at English literature than at formal music lessons—developing a liking for the writings of Hardy, Wilde, Shaw, Dylan Thomas, Sheridan, Shakespeare, and Chaucer.

At the age of fourteen he wrote his first song, a reflective lament called "I Lost My Little Girl." Eight years later he returned to the same rueful theme when he found the words for probably his most-noted song, "Yesterday."

First with and then without John Lennon, McCartney wrote some of the best-known lyrics of the twentieth century, including "A Day in the Life," "Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Eleanor Rigby," and "For No One." His last recorded words with the Beatles, "and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make," epitomize his pride that the songs of the Beatles affirmed the positive spirit of the times.

In 1990, McCartney developed an interest in orchestral music that has found success around the globe through his compositions The Liverpool Oratorio, Standing Stone, and Working Classical. McCartney has further diversified his expression by exploring his passion for painting, creating more than 500 canvases, exhibiting in Europe and America, and publishing an extensive volume of his work.

He has been writing poetry seriously for the past decade. His poems are collected for the first time, along with his legendary lyrics, in Blackbird Singing, to be published in the United States by W.W. Norton & Company on April 23, 2001. A Freeman of the City of Liverpool and Lead Patron of The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Paul McCartney is a Fellow of The Royal College of Music and a Fellow of The British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. In 1996, he was knighted by H.M. The Queen for services to music.

Despite his many artistic achievements, Paul McCartney says that his greatest accomplishments are his four children.

Review about Paul McCartney

James Paul Mccartney | Reviewer: Mary Manzella | 11/27/2008

I have been a fan since I was a toddler back in 1964 when you first came to the States. I fell in love with the band and have been in love ever since. I can't express enough the feelings that I feel when I hear the music that has brought me so much joy, love, and happiness. You have brought so much to the world and are such an inspiration to so many! My dream of seeing you came true in 2002 when I won ticktets to a show. If I would be so lucky to cross paths with you, my life would be fulfilled! Love you always, Mary

more than "BEST".. | Reviewer: czarina | 8/9/2008

if there is one word greater than BEST, then it would fit the name PAUL MCCARTNEY..

why? because the word BEST is not enough to describe HIM as a musician, singer, songwriter, father, husband and as a MAN..

thank God He created a PAUL MCCARTNEY...

THE WORLDS GREATEST! XX | Reviewer: Traci | 3/3/2008

You ARE `the worlds greatest`, singer, song writer, musician, poet/musical artiste!! But, you are also a great person/gentleman, you do not deserve what you have been put through, you deserve love and peace, things don't always work out, but any woman, who deserves to be called a woman, if ever lucky enough to be married to you, should have just raised her head at the love and companionship they would have had from you and left it at that!! I have alot of respect and thought for you, also alot of love and the only english thing i am proud of!! apart from my own children xxxxxx Traci xxxxxx

house of wax | Reviewer: r. early | 8/15/2007

IT IS THRILLING TO HEAR A SONG LIKE, HOUSE OF WAX. PAUL HAS BEEN WRITING AND SINGING ALL THESE YEARS, AND HIS TALENT IS SO AMAZING, BUT, HOUSE OF WAX IS SUCH AN OUTSTANDING SONG, IT STILL SURPRISES ME, THAT HE CAN STILL ROCK BETTER THAN ALL THESE UP AND COMING BANDS AND SINGERS.
A FULL ALBUM OF TUNES LIKE HOUSE OF WAX WOULD BE GREAT, A SOLID FULL HARD ROCKING ALBUM.

STILL AMAZED BY PAUL

Angel Paul | Reviewer: joe laginestra | 8/10/2007

Thank you Paul for all of those cool songs. I've been listening to you ever since I was a kid way back in 1964. God has blessed you with the gift of music, especially songwriting at which you are the best without any doubt and the world has been blessed by your birth into this world. You, along with your three brothers have changed the world and have showed mankind that we still have a chance and don't necessarily have to wind up a plestering heap, and that we can learn to love one another. You have guided me from a child into manhood and molded my character through your music and words can't express how much "GRATITUDE" I have and I will love you until the "End of the End". Love Joe Laginestra

the best of the rest | Reviewer: g dog beatles fan | 4/24/2007

paul you are the greatest person/singer/artist/musician in the world and there is no doubt about that .

The Greatest | Reviewer: Kenney Ison | 3/30/2007

As a listener only to music and not a musician, I can say that when the God of this Universe decides to put an end to this Earth and History ( His story) as we know it, Lennon & McCartney will be put before names such as Mozart and Beethoven as the greatest musicians whom ever lived !!!!
