Sir Paul McCartney (born 1942) was bassist for the Beatles and shared songwriting credit with John Lennon for most of their original songs. McCartney favored lighter, more pop-oriented songs than Lennon, which became much more apparent after April 1970 when the Beatles broke up and both began to record solo. McCartney soon formed a new band, Wings (band), and recorded many staples of AM radio.

He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997.

Paul was married for thirty years to Linda Eastman who played keyboards in Wings but died in 1998. His second marriage to Heather Mills lasted for four years. He continues to tour and perform, and is Britain's highest-earning musician today.

McCartney has been arrested twice for possession of marijuana and publicly called for its legalization.
