Singer, Songwriter, Musician · Gemini · born June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England

Paul McCartney wrote or co-wrote more number-one singles than anyone else in the history of popular music, first with The Beatles and then across five decades of solo and Wings records. He taught himself bass because the band needed one, then reinvented what the instrument does inside a pop song.
