Sir James Paul McCartney CH MBE (born 18 June 1942) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who gained worldwide fame with the Beatles, for whom he played bass guitar and the piano, and shared primary songwriting and lead vocal duties with John Lennon.

His songwriting partnership with Lennon is the most successful in modern music history. Over the span of his career, McCartney has released more than 60 gold discs and sold over 100 million singles.
