After receiving a trumpet from his father for his 14^th birthday, Paul traded it for a Framus Zenith acoustic guitar, because he wanted to sing while playing.

On the Zenith he wrote his first song I Lost My Little Girl, and composed another one that would become When I’m Sixty-Four on the piano.

After the band’s break-up, he pursued a solo career and formed the band Wings with his first wife, Linda, and Denny Laine.

Today he is one of the most successful song composers and performers of all time, with more than 2,200 artists covering his Beatles song “Yesterday”, which is more than any other copyrighted song ever.

The 21-time Grammy Award winner McCartney, has written, or co-written, 32 songs that have reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

He and his fellow band members, all received The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1965, and in 1997, McCartney was knighted for services to music.
