Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney (born June 18, 1942, Liverpool) is a British musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. One of the founders of the group The Beatles, 16-time Grammy winner, Knight Bachelor, and Commander of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) (1965). The Lennon–McCartney duo became one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships in the history of modern music. Paul McCartney has been repeatedly included in the Guinness Book of Records, in particular, as the most successful musician and composer of recent history: 60 of his discs have 'gold' status, the total circulation of singles has exceeded 100 million, and the song 'Yesterday' holds first place in the number of recorded cover versions (more than 3700). 'Mull of Kintyre' (Wings), which became the first British single in history in 1977, the circulation of which reached the two-million mark in Britain alone, still heads the list of all-time British bestsellers.
