'''Sir Paul McCartney''' (born 1942) is a British musician famous for being the [[bass]]ist and frequent lead singer for the [[Beatles]]. Along with [[John Lennon]], he was one half of the Lennon/McCartney songwriting team, which wrote much of the band's material. 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]]. His song "Yesterday" had been covered by over 3,500 artists, making it the most covered song in music history.
