4Paul McCartney

The best!


Also Paul won 13 grammy awards in his solo career, a doctorate of music from Sussex University in 1988 and a doctorate from Yale in 2008, and he has been in the Guiness Book of World Records since October 1979 when he got a spec ial award as the most successful song composer of all time!



His early -mid 1970's music was his best post Beatles music, his first solo album McCartney where he played every instrument by himself for the first time is a good album and he played so many instruments great, and he played every instrument again 10 years later on McCartney 2 (although I don't like that album)his Wings albums REd Rose Speedway and Band On The Run are very good and only he and Denny Laine played every instrument on this album, and the 1975 Wings rock album Venus and Mars is a great album and he produced all of these albums too. There are 3 great songs on his second solo album Ram, Too Many People is a great rocker, Uncle Albert is brilliant and Back Seat of My Car is also very good.



Paul was also already playing the guitar and writing his own songs at only 14 and started to soon after his mother Mary who was a nurse and a midwife died of breast cancer and he wrote the beautiful song Let It Be about her after he saw her alive in a realistic dream he had 12 years after she died, and she told him in this dream to just accept things as they are. He said in his authorized biography Many Years From Now that when he woke up he thought how wonderful it was to see her again.



He also wrote the pretty song I'll Follow The Sun when he was only 16.



And Paul also played most of the instruments on his 1997 Flaming Pie album, and his 2 recent acclaimed popular albums, Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, and Memory Almost Full. And John Paul Jones, David Gilmore, John Bonham
