Beatles frontman Paul McCartney turns 80: A look back at Maca’s best songs

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney: One of the most influential musicians to be born, Paul McCartney is a legend. Born on 18 June 1942 in Liverpool, England, Sir James Paul McCartney played several roles in his professional career. He sang, composed and wrote songs, played bass, wrote poems and painted. With over a dozen international Top 10 singles and albums, McCartney is one of the most commercially and critically successful music artists of all time.

As part of the Beatles, McCartney was part of the revolution that changed music forever. But even today, despite the Beatles’ vast legacy, McCartney’s own work was often overshadowed by his former band.

Here are some of the best Paul McCartney songs from the post-Beatles era:

1. Maybe I’m Surprised (1970)
   The final track on McCartney’s eponymous debut album, May I Am Amazed, showed McCartney’s inescapable allure as a solo artist as well. As McCartney sings about his wife and the sudden collapse of the Beatles, the thick vocals serve as a delightful contrast to the sparse accompaniment. It should come as no surprise that McCartney himself said it was the song he wanted to be most remembered for.
2. Band on the Run (1973)
   The album’s title track, with which the song shared its name with the band On the Run, came at a time when McCartney’s legacy as a commercial and critical success was coming into question. The incredible change in tone twice during their playtime for Band On The Run helped propel the track to the top of the charts. With the song, McCartney’s fifth album became a commercial and critical success.
3. Too Many People (1971)
   The title track of his second solo album, Too Many People Is McCartney at his smooth bluesy best, singing the sharpest lines. Taking a dig at former bandmate John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, McCartney talks about some of the despair behind the Beatles’ downfall with his signature melodious melody.
4. Back seat of my car (1971)
   The Back Seat of My Car is McCartney singing with his wife Linda to a tune that could be mistaken for one of the Beatles’ early tracks. “Two lovers are going to take over the world. I’ve always liked the underdog,” he said of the song in a 2001 interview.
5. Live and Let Die (1973)
   Live and Let Die was written for the James Bond film of the same name. It is one of his most singular songs, mixing influences ranging from orchestral rock to reggae. The orchestral interlude for chorus is perhaps one of McCartney’s most interesting compositions.
