I. Paul McCartney is one of the greatest stars of the twentieth century. Paul comes from an ordinary family, but he is now the third richest man in Europe. His musical career has lasted for nearly forty years and today he is one of the world’s most famous musicians.
II. He was born in Liverpool, England, on 18
th June 1942. He started to play the guitar seriously when he was 14. When he was 15 he met and formed a band with another boy from Liverpool, John Lennon. This was perhaps the most important point in his life. Formed around the nucleus of Lennon and McCartney, who first performed together in Liverpool in 1957, the group named the
Beatles grew out of a shared enthusiasm for American rock and roll.
III. Both Lennon, a guitarist and a singer, and McCartney, a bassist and a singer, were largely self-taught as musicians. Precocious composers, they gathered around themselves a changing cast of accompanists. The
Beatles soon rose to fame in England by producing recording of original tunes and also by playing classic American rock and roll. After their appearances on British television, British newspapermen coined a new word – Beatlemania. For the next ten years the group was the symbol of youth movement.
IV. In 1972, after the
Beatles had stopped performing together, Paul McCartney formed a new band,
Wings, but it was never as successful as the
Beatles and it broke up after seven years. Through the 1980s McCartney worked on his own. In recent years Paul has written classical music and has worked on films. He also opened a stage school in Liverpool. In 1969 he met and married Linda Eastman, an American-born photographer, who also became a famous personality. They had children and a happy life together for many years, but Linda died in April 1998. McCartney’s daughter Stella who graduated from College of Art and Design in London in 1995 rose quickly to the forefront of the international fashion world.
V. All the members of the Beatles remained famous after the band broke up, but only Paul managed his musical talent in so many different ways. He is still writing both pop music and classical music. Paul McCartney is not only one of the best songwriters and musicians that Britain has known, but he is also a personality that no rock fan will ever forget.
