Sir James Paul McCartney, MBE, was born on 18th June and although he has always used his middle name as his first name, his first name is in fact James. He became a household name as a musician and songwriter and as one of the four members of the Beatles.

Mr McCartney has a record of 29 U.S number one singles, twenty of them with The Beatles, the rest with his other group Wings and as a solo artist. He has written and co-written over 50 top ten hits, more than any other living songwriter and has been influential as a bassist as well as a singer. In the Beatles, McCartney was one of the half of the song-writing team, the other half was John Lennon. The Beatles remain in many eyes as the best known songs in rock and pop history. Apart from his music, Sir Paul is also a painter and until recently kept his art private.
