On his birth day... Paul McCartney was born June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. His work with the Beatles in the 1960s helped lift popular music from its origins in the entertainment business and transform it into a creative, highly commercial art form. He is also one of the most popular solo performers of all time in terms of both sales of his recordings and attendance at his concerts. Sir Paul was not only a multi-talented instrumentalist, he was also a gifted songwriter, and he and Lennon wrote many of the hit songs together during the Beatles years. Back in 1957, whilst they were still both teenagers, Lennon and Sir Paul agreed that every song they wrote together would have 50/50 ownership, and they stuck to this agreement in later years, despite the fact that such an oral contract wasn’t legally binding, as they were still both minors.
