"Music is such a beautiful innocent thing for me, a magic thing."
~ Paul McCartney
Born in Liverpool, England, James Paul McCartney (1942-) was formally knighted Sir Paul by Queen Elizabeth II on this day in 1997 for his "cultural contributions and service to music."
He dedicated his knighthood to fellow ex-Beatles, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison and John Lennon.
McCartney wrote his first song in 1956 and was just 15 years old when he joined Lennon's band, The Quarrymen. Within three years, The Quarrymen transformed into The Beatles.
Along with Lennon, McCartney wrote unforgettable Beatles music of great passion and poignancy.
The story goes that Sir Paul woke up in Paris one morning in May 1965 with a beautiful melody in his head "in all the glory and the freshness of a dream," he explained.
The musician got out of bed, stepped over to the piano, and wrote the music for Yesterday, the most covered song of all time.
In 2016, the Celebrity Net Worth website said McCartney’s net worth was estimated at $1.2 billion. He is one of the most successful musicians in the history of pop music.
