The legendary Paul McCartney celebrates his 82nd birthday today. I’m much more of a fan of his work with The Beatles — but whether as a solo artist, with Wings or with The Beatles, McCartney has been behind some of the most beloved songs of the past 60 years.
Happy birthday, Paul! May there be many, many more!
