Who is Paul McCartney?
Paul McCartney is best known for his time with the Beatles. While together, the Beatles released 13 studio albums from 1960-70.
After they broke up, McCartney instantly dove back into writing music. He released his first self-titled studio album, McCartney, in 1970. The following year, McCartney recorded Ram with his wife Linda as well as Wild Life with Wings.
As a band, Wings released seven studio albums. Coming up, McCartney will release the band's live studio album, One Hand Clapping. Some of Wings' biggest hits include “Band on the Run,” “Jet,” and “Silly Love Songs.”
After Wings broke up, McCartney got back into writing solo material. In 1980, he released McCartney II (which wouldn't be followed-up with until 2020).
From then on, McCartney continued to release new music. Some of his notable albums include Tug of War, Flowers in the Dirt, New, and Egypt Station. McCartney III was released in 2020 and closed out his trilogy of self-titled albums.
