- Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's friendship was built on musical collaboration, but was permanently soured after Jackson purchased the ATV/Beatles catalog in 1985. Over the coming years, the two fought and publicly attacked each other due to their differences on how the business should have been run.
Here is Paul McCartney in his own words, addressing the long and drawn out conflict he had with the King of Pop.

The fact he told the same story for almost 4 decades consistently and not to mention tells it in the most respectable way possible, shows you the integrity that Paul has
The fact this dead child molester owns catalog is insulting
He is fake Paul McCartney allegedly. How is that integrity
@@PhonyPhoniPhone He’s no fake. How ignorant to think he isn’t the real Paul McCartney, and I suppose the other guy writing and singing the song is Not the real Michael Jackson! Lol😂
Like Paul McCartney always had a twin same age, same Left handed playing bass, along with Paul’s Father (and close relatives) still alive after 1966 not recognizing his own son and memories with him..Not to mention a fake Paul being Super talented with much more hits after 1966. That’s Crazy!! to think the fake Paul crap.
@@PhonyPhoniPhone Are there people who still believe that nonsensss like wtf
@@akayumi_gaby it wasn’t nonsense when they were putting subliminal messages in their album artwork. Tell Paul to blame himself and his band mates for stoking the suspicions
“And I say, yeah, sure, it’s business. It’s also friendship. It’s also morals.” A real human being right there, Sir Paul.
If only Lennon had a shred of that integrity
The asshole never made 1 offer to get anything. Then talks shit to Michael for stepping up
I think this was Michael’s twisted way of manipulating Paul and saying “I’m better than you Paul”. He wouldn’t budge or even talk with Paul one on one. Michael was made it something personal.
@@Soundofsilver2007 Bullshit . If he wanted it pay Michael a fair price . Paul want Michael to just give it to him . Is he fucking crazy
A real jealous human being. What was Michael supposed to do hold Paul's hand ? The master taught the student ENOUGH TO DO WITHOUT HIM ! read the 48 laws.
The fact that he had the chance to buy them, and he didn't because they were Lennon-McCartney songs and not just McCartney songs just says a lot about how great the man is
He could have bought them and gave half to Yoko or split the residuals with her.
@@bobma6342 Yeah, that's why OP mentioned he is great because he didn't by want to make money off from John Lennon's song.
@@hangten1904 I would have rather seen him buy them and split them with Yoko Ono than to have M.J. get them.
The Lennon songs she gets 100% of.
Buy first, figure out how to tidy it up afterwards. Yet another example of how altruism paralyzes the mind because it's not reality-based. It's a Santa Claus morality and it's not possible to be logical with it because it isn't real. What's 2 plus 2? In Santa-world it can be 10 because he's got elves and flying reindeer.
@@bobma6342I doubt it was that easy, he has lawyers you know, somebody probably explained him all technicalities
Its hard to beleive how this bloke has lived through every great decade of music and obviously the best artists
He really is a legend among men
He missed the 20s and 30s. And Tin Pan Alley was a MASSIVE influence on his writing.
Somebody took jazz history at community college @@catfishcooler1566
Nope only 20 years, MJ more then 40 years that hurt Miss Paula to.
MJ whas way better then the high in his head Paula.
MJ stays hiss hole live humble.
Miss Paula was never humble.
The was one Beatle how was humble and much better then Paula, John Lennon is still great, sad that the shut the wrong men. I miss him nice and humble guy. And write more good and better songs then Paula. Greetings.
@@ecufile4095 who is paula
His comments are impressively consistent over a long period of time.
That's how you know it's the truth
@@lisac4215 That is exactly what I was thinking.
@@lisac4215 indeed! It's always easier to remember the truth.
He's been in the spot light for a while now😁
That’s because he died in the 70s and has been replace by a robot. Robots are nothing but consistent.
People may not realize that this is how Paul acts when he is angry. Calmly joking around.
Exactly spot on.
Spot on, exactly!
Spot exactly on!
Well he is the richest man in pop ($1.2 billion?) and Michael is dead.........
Spotzactlyon!
Using songs commercially "It devalues the song..." that's a real/true artist! We love you Paul
CIA killed Lennon - 2 gunmen -(Jose Perdomo (CIA) was the security guard.
But he's gone commercial at times.
@@mogadon7 Lay off the drugs. Not true at all.
Easy to say when you are a billionaire!
except when you do it with buddy holly's songs huh paul?
Paul's Michael voice is pretty impressive lol
I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I think he had done that voice many times out loud as well as inside.
I didn't catch any sarcasm either. Seems to have hurt him though. I'd feel a little used and betrayed but as an adult and a Sir. with class, you put things in their place and move on. I respect that.
I noticed that as well.....in one part its hard to tell who is singing. Paul has a little more cream to his vocals.
@jimi hendrix Paul was so flattered when Jimi played some Sgt. Peppers, literally just a few days after its release at his show. Too bad Clapton didn’t tune his guitar for him-obviously a joke, but some thought it was real.
Michael choosing Beatles catalogs :
"I want this, and this one, and this one, and this one."
“Don’t waste your time... Because, the doggone songs are MINE”
Imagine him buying every single song except for Revolution 9 and Wild Honey Pie.
I agree. This was the same with Prince . Its why he changed his name for awhile to the symbol. Its why he fought for artist rights and started Paisley Park records and eventuallly got his masters back before he died.
I can hear this😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Fantastic comment! Though I guess his taste in songs > his taste in gold-plated tat.
Quite the work putting all these interviews into one coherent story. Awesome work!
^This
Always frank. Always candid. Always classy. Always respectful. McCartney remains an incredible human
True. ❤️
"Now, Michael, we're not going to fight about this..."
"Paul, I think I told you; I'm a lover, not a fighter!"
@James Walker even though Paul gave Michael his blessing to buy the catalog.
@@zorafilms No he did not
@@GeeBee909 Paul Was given many chances to buy the keep the catalog so micheal ended up buying it
@@Minceontoast2 Nope, sorry (many chances?). Do your research. I know it "hurts" many of you MJ fans, but MJ was wrong to buy the catalog. He KNEW, "HIS FRIEND" Paul wanted to buy HIS OWN SONGS BACK (after he was cheated out them). Interesting you say "the catalog" like Paul had nothing to do with creating it. However, THERE WOULD BE NO CATALOG IF PAUL HAD NOT CREATED IT. These are NOT "just songs". These are song HE WROTE, HE CREATED. He had every right to want them back, they came from HIS MIND. MJ was selfish in his actions here BECAUSE he knew Paul wanted to buy HIS OWN songs back. BE HONEST, if it were the other way around you would be on Paul's case, saying he should let MJ buy his songs HIMSELF, songs HE CREATED, others would mostly like accuse Paul of racism. IF you seek the truth, Get the FULL STORY first, not some made up nonsense "somebody" posted on the internet
@@GeeBee909 yeah id’ve been pissed too
2:40 His Michael Jackson voice impersonation is spot on. Made this story so much funnier 😭
Man of a thousand voices, it's how Billy got the gig
Some friend Paul was . He just mad he can’t sing for shit . We love you yeah yeah yeah . What the fuck is that
Michael was born into this industry he knew it inside out back to front, he was not only genius on stage but also SUPER GENIUS behind the scenes
Maybe thought himself a bit too smart? Martin Bashir did a fantastic piece with MJ in 2002-2003. Exposed.
@@AlexCasonPhotography exposed what?.. the FBI was investigating him years, never find any evidence. He was not guilty, period.
@@AlexCasonPhotography Oh that horrid doc that he tricked MJ with? Fuck Bashir
And a scammer aparantly...I look at Micheal different after seeing this...he scammed the Beatles
Too bad mi sucks at playing instruments. Half the songs were given to him he only had 5 good hits
I love his point about not wanting to commercialize their songs. If you hear it 100 times on a commercial, eventually you’re gonna get tired of it. Even if it is a classic, timeless song. Paul truly is one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the planet!
That's what happened with Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours'. There are people who hate it for that exact reason, despite it being one of the best albums ever...
I think it cheapens the music.
He would have done the same thing.
@@pigpink1971I agree. Using a beautiful work of art to sell Coca Cola just feels wrong.
I don't know I have discovered many great songs through Commercials . Also a lot of TV shows used to play some really great songs I'd never heard of at the end of the episode to match the tone of the episode or what a character was experiencing . The song at the end of the final episode of breaking bad is one perfect example or that song at the end of the sopranos
I love the way he defends songs like Revolution, that he didn't write, John did but he is adamant that song means something more important than a pair of sneakers. Great man.
The funny thing is the song was mocking the idea of 1960s radicals. And Lennon later apologized for it because he became sympathetic to the radicals, who hated the song.
@@robertwilliams9288 Yes it is and I'm sorry to hear about that.
@@robertwilliams9288 i thought you were my dad for a sec... my dads name is same as yours
Revolution was a crap song though.
@@simonamillen3298 it wasn't really and it's quite sad how you liked your own comment.
I really admire that Paul McCartney didn't want his songs to be used in commercials and didn't benefit from their monetary gain. That says a lot about his integrity and I do think it would've devalued their songs. Bravo for him!
He is rich..lol
Bullshit! I disagree. Commercialize songs r expose them 2 future generations.
OMG, Paul, Lennon, Jackson, James Brown, Freddie Mercury... what times, what music he left us, with invincibles, they are eternal geniuses.
McCartney has reason to be mad and negative. Not just for the business but for the friendship and morals. For having his and John's songs being used in ways they never intended and never wanted. Yet he has clearly chosen not to be negative. He has chosen to state his views in a straight forward and often humourous manner. That speaks very highly of his personality and professionalism.
He mentions something that I completely agree with I hate it when bands or artists come out with an album or song and within a year their songs are being played on television commercials 😖😖
Licensing your music to shows/commercials/movies is one of the few ways you can make a living these days as an artist. Used to be all record sales, but now streaming makes it practically free for people. Would have loved to put out music before the internet when you could afford to not do that 😔
Artists today don't have record sales any more. The industry is not as lucrative as it once was. It's why they sell image more than a thing, now.
@@mindeloman yeah I get it , Justin Bieber just sold all his music for 30 million or something close to that, it’s tempting !!
@@alecshaw4274 Yeah, it's also the only way for independent artist to get their stuff in front of a large number of people, who wouldn't normally think to seek them out, these days, too.
why tho

After receiving the tips of the older friend about how to conquer the girl. He turns to his friend and says: I'm going to get your girl! LOL😂
those are fightin words
McCartney was so naive. He was just a working class guy who didn’t knew anything about the music business. But that’s why he’s so strong. He knew how to deal with everything. This man deserves a lot of respect.
"A working class hero is something to be."--John Lennon
Plenty of musicians back then got screwed over in similar ways. It was really the first time massive money was coming in for pop/rock stars on a world stage. Everyone was naive
John was middle class, but that didn’t help in the shark infested waters of music publishing
Mccartney was middleclass
@@KatieCannotFly McCartney and Harrison were working class. They came from poor families and grew up on council estates.
Lennon was middle class - and he used to get annoyed when people assumed he grew up poor. His family were quite affluent, they lived in an expensive neighborhood, they owned their own home, and they went on foreign holidays etc. And his Aunt Mimi actually didn't like him hanging around with the working class McCartney - who was quite rough back in the 1950s
There are other information confirming that Michael did contact Paul McCartney proposing to buy together the BEATLES cataloque approx us$ 40 millions ( 20 each) but Paul said he couldn t
afford 20 millions, so Michael told him he would buy it in total. Paul most likely contacted Yoko Ono for sharing the purchase 10 mls each but it did not succeed. So Michael did the deal.
whats mind blowing is the consistency with which Paul recalls the story through a myriad of interviews, years apart. Incredible!
Right 👍
Paul is definitely a class act. I love the way he sticks up for people who can't stick up for themselves since they are no longer here.
Who is he sticking up for?
@@DPPLOWD Is this the only time you have ever heard Paul talk? I am a big John Lennon fan and it is clear to me that he thinks of John as a best friend/brother.
He is a class act. He's not sounding petty or vindictive. Telling it like it was, though.
Snake 🐍
@Janice Ross Drag act
His story never changes... that’s honesty. Good for him for not letting $$$ make him bitter.
A tad easier when you're already rich as shit.
Or maybe hes done enough acid and prayed enough in times of trouble to know money doesnt matter enough to divide or start a feud
@@TheArmchairPriest he's involved in legal actions to acquire rights and again that zen horseshit is easy to say from a mansion and divide what? he and jackson weren't fishing-buddies. And this is more about keeping control of his creations more than the money and the inherent right for the creator to make money off of the art before some outside profiteer
@@shaunpearson7905 untrue considering paul didnt want to profit off the songs, that was his initial argument with jackson. The songs are art and should never be used for advertisements or for personal gain. Its for rock and roll. Idk about any mansion or zen shit youre talking about but what I said was right regardless of your argument. Hes done enough acid and prayer to know theres more to life especially in art
I thought there was a bit of sour grapes here on Paul’s part!
He sounds quite understandably cheesed off but the truth is that he missed several opportunities to secure the rights, the last time being when he and Ono undervalued them significantly.
You can’t blame it on MJ, he wasn’t the richest person around by any means.
"The girl is mine" is such a hit. thank you both for bringing that into my life. I remember hearing it for the first time at my aunties place. xx thank u
too true
Michael was basically being honest and courteous with him, before he did it.
Paul McCartney's Michael impression is ON POINT!!
I’m gonna buy your songs!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@masswellwiley6688 Now look Michael, we're not gonna fight about this
@@johnlebonte3176 good one 😂 She’s mine no no no she’s mine

That would be a hit

I really love how not only Chris Tucker, but also Sir Paul Mccartney like to imitate MJ soft voice. I personally feel so peaceful everytime i heard MJ talking voice because it's so different from his singing voice but in a beautiful way
The moral of the story is, if you have the means to buy your songs, do it, otherwise you have no say over how they're used.

The rot started with Dick James owning 51%. That happened over and over again to young talented musicians. Sharks in the water devoured them and spat out the remains.
yep ... including Elton ....
Dave Chappelle just put out a video about this same topic...
So many music acts of the 50s and 60s, especially girl groups and female singers, got completely screwed by their management/record companies
The same Dick James who sung "Robin Hood" in the 1950's series on TV.
@@tectorama And *The Buccaneers* both of which are *ITV* shows, which like most older *ITV* dramas and comedies, have been forgotten by the people in charge of the network, and will no doubt never be shown again on any of *ITV's* channels, even though they'd be perfect for *ITV4.*
Paul literally told him to buy other people’s music as an investment, right? So, why is it ok for him to encourage others to buy and control other artist’s music, but then get pissed when it happens to his? He also was very up front with Paul and offered for them to go in on it together. I don’t see a problem. I don’t blame Paul for being upset, but I don’t blame MJ for buying them either.
he said to get into music publishing. he didn't say buy my music behind my back while i am away in india so i cannot stop it...
@@boneless8404 whether in India or not still a back stabbing deal. Irrelevant
At this point in his life, 80 yrs old I believe, Sir Paul will probably live long enough to have his masters rightfully returned back to him after 50 yrs.
@@zarni000 How was it behind his back if he told him he was gonna do it and then told him again a week later as Paul stated?
@@iThinkNot. he obviously interpreted is as a joke. Jackson saw this and did nothing. But of course being the mercantile weasel Jackson us it suited his purposes
Thank you so much for making this! So well edited and such a great encapsulating!
Thank you! ✨
Paul is telling these stories in an honorable way you see. He is being classy about it, and you can tell even though he is not at all happy about what Michael has done, he still likes him. Legend.
Why is McCartney complaining about it? Why didn't he buy his own songs?... None of this would have happened, had he bought the BEATLES Catalogue. Jackson just saw the opportunity and grabbed it!... and on top of that, he warned him, "I'm gonna get your songs"...
No Kanda, he doesn't like Michael, he thinks Michael was a shit, but he's being polite.
He wouldn't want to speak ill of the dead.
What has MJ done wrong exactly ? making good business desicions, to build his portfolio Reminder MJ was Faux Pauls junior ...
@@raulcitraro Not Pauls Songs, John Lennons. What Genius do Pauls group Wings create hmm ? ..
One of the best things about MJ owning the Beatles catalog is that it also included Little Richard's catalog, which was worth at least 20 million. MJ gave him back all the rights to his songs for free, which allowed him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Preach
The nerve of Mcartney to complain and be butt hurt, when he once owned Tooty Fruity.
MJ gave McCartney jack shit. Where did you get that from? McCartney sued a couple of years ago, around 2016/2017 I think, to recover his half share of the Lennon/McCartney catalog, as US copyright laws allow the artist/writer to reclaim the rights on anything published before 1978 - ie the whole Beatles catalog. So McCartney now owns half of the catalog, but MJ didn't give this to him. McCartney has a net worth of over £1.2 billion (most of which he had before re-acquiring his share of the Beatles rights), making him the most successful musician of all time (and that includes MJ), so thankfully he didn't need any gifts from MJ to enable him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
@@davidjames3080 he said little Richard not Paul. He said MJ gave Little Richard back his catalog that Paul owned at first.
@@kendallroberts5337 well, he didn't really make that clear. But let's not pretend mj did that out of the goodness of his own heart. Little Richard would have been entitled to get back his artist rights in the same way as McCartney did, due to the age of the catalog, and mj and his advisors would have known that.
There will never be another group like the Beatles . Paul, keep pushing out the hits
Have you not heard of the migos my good sir ?
I just read the Stan Lee biography that was published last year.
A couple of years before Michael died, he wanted to publish comic books with Stan. Stan even agreed to it.
That would have been amazing.
Michael Loved Spider-Man.
RIIIING!
“Hello?”
“Hey Paul do you wanna make some hits?”
“Yeah sure!”
I believe that’s what he said. Thanks for typing it out
@@SmithMrCorona I TOO was so unclear on that... thank God we had stenographer....👍🤣
Whatever the situation or reason it's sad when the artist has to buy their own rights.
Damn you fine
That's the deal they signed.
If you can sell them they can be bought.
@@G11713 he said, they didn't know that, even I thought, and most people did,and do.

@@stevejobs7989 He must have owned the rights and then sold them unwittingly. There's a thing called due diligence.
It’s ironic that, as a kid, seeing that sneakers commercial that used Revolution made me a Beatles fan. I didn’t know any better. As I got older, I understood why Paul was so uneasy with them using it in such a way. He has integrity.
I absolutely adore Paul McCartney..he was my favorite Beatle

Damn fine piece of EDITING in this little informative video. It very much shows how CONSISTENT McCartney was about telling his side of the story over the years. The spread out clips all piece together SEAMLESSLY.
McCartney has actually told three versions of that story.
(In all the main story is the same, but a couple of details have changed three times)
@@a.j.f.a.7485 I mean for one, I really doubt he is the reason looked into publishing, especially that he made videos because of him.
@@a.j.f.a.7485 Can you tell more about the differences?
Yes very well done! I agree.
Paul is a great PR man. He knows about the importance of a consistent story.
He's really consistent and sure about what he's been saying. This is really a good peep into the details :) Good job!
So much respect for the Beatles I feel we all see this in todays music and he’s so right Revolution was so much more than a pair of sneakers. Authenticity cannot be bought or used to promote something that’s lesser than the meaning of the artistry itself.

Well Put
I never knew they didn't want their tunes used in adverts. Respect.
@@Mason-sg9zf [edit: apologies for the long response, i don’t know how to be brief lol]
yes, but the truth is that having your music in too many ads can “devalue” it, as paul said. an example that comes to mind is the black keys; i remember hearing their songs in so many commercials as a kid, before i even knew who they were. by the time they became mainstream, i’m sure a lot of their back catalog had lost a substantial amount of its value (which they did make up for through multiple albums and relentless touring in the early-mid 2010s). you’re right in that there’s nothing inherently wrong with “selling out”, but artists don’t just care about profits… they also care about their music’s artistic integrity, and in many of those cases it’s understandable when they turn such offers down.
@@Mason-sg9zf Some people aren't scrounging down the back of the sofa for chump change either.
Should have bought them then.
@@Mason-sg9zf how you relate anti greed and monopolisation to being weak is supporting the belief that having more means being more. An error of profound implications.

Really well done to the poster, putting all these clips together to make one bit of dialog that makes sense. well done man. really enjoyable to watch
Thank you!
@@thedetail. you’re welcome brother. Pleasure to watch, really well made video
Paul is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Paul🔥
Slowly blown up? He was a beatle lmfao.

I wish. I just wish I could see him one time and talk about life.

Regardless if you like the Beatles or not, the fact they have produced the most valuable songs in human history should tell you something about how many millions of people they’ve reached through their music.
What he doesn't tell is, that Michael called him before and offered to buy the songs 50/50. It was 50 Million $ in that time but Paul McCartney refused, because it was too expensive in his opinion. Than MJ bought them all for 50 Million $ and after years they had a value of more than 500 Million $. But what's the fault of MJ in this case?
Don’t forget Yoko’s part. As Paul has stated, he wrote the songs for nothing.
@@ladybuggs11 yep
bad business move by Sir Paul
His fault is that he degraded the songs in spite of the songwriter's wish and that he took away the opportunity from Paul to buy them by offering a huge amount to the seller. At least according to what Paul is saying in this video.
@@alexsandra7173 do you think MJ was dumb enough to overvalue something he was about to buy ?? The seller is the one who decides the price, Paul was too cheap to buy it even when Michael offered him to buy it 50/50 with him, he is just bitter than with time the catalogue worth get to ten times what it costed to MJ and turned out to be a very good investment.
Paul has the greatest social skills ever. Amongst the other giant talents that he has.

😂😂Right
Thankfully due to Paul's successful lawsuit in 2017, The Beatles catalog now belongs to him the rightful and true owner
He sold it back to Sony.
It definitely doesn’t lol
Interesting. I always thought Michael bought the songs directly from Paul, and kinda double crossed him by commercializing them. Not so. He seems to have bought them on the "open" market, like as a commodity, and like any investment just parlayed it to his own advantage, void any emotional entanglement. Kind of refreshing, because when MJ bought them, they technically weren't Paul's or John's songs anymore, and had not been for years. Michael wasn't going to buy them and put them in a museum or something. It was business and I respect that.

Si, y Paul, reconoce que se las ofrecieron a él primero y decidió no comprarlas. Me irrita un poco que imite a Mj, siento que lo mira peyorativamente...por qué no podía creer que Mj las compraría, también se burla refiriéndose a MJ como un bebé rico...eso fue gracias a su trabajo desde los 5 años, a su talento y visión. Debió estar igual de molesto con todos los que compraron las canciones antes que MJ.
@@vivianavaldenegro593 Gracias, agradezco tu observación. Amo a Paul y MJ, pero que Paul lo menosprecie solo por hacer negocios es doloroso. (Es posible que esta traducción no sea lo más precisa posible porque la hice a través de Google. ¡Gracias de nuevo!😀
@@raymondjackson6069 Muchas gracias por traducir tu respuesta, considero que el vídeo tiene un sesgo y lleva a juzgar a MJ, como siempre lo hacen. Bendiciones
If Michael Jackson says he’s going to take your girl or your music, it’s as good as gone.
Your girl? LOL!
Or your 10 year old son.
@@v-town1980 can you be more ignorant than that ?
m@@SWog617 well. Lisa Marie Presley was married, when MJ met her. In 3 months she filed for divorce and moved into MJ's. Gotta love bitter Beatles fans...
😁facts👌
Michael learned that from the Berry Gordys and Quincy Jones of the world. Always be about your business, because if you are not, someone else will.
@@nforne pahhahahaha thats a quality reply
@@nforne Exactly, which is not the case for Michael because there is documented envidence that he paid for the Beatles catalog.
If Paul advised MJ to get into publishing, that means he already owned the publishing of other artists.
@@meatymatmart McCartney got mad at MJ cause he had the money to purchase something he either didn't have the money to purchase, or he procrastinated thinking about it. Or MJ just started thinking like a publisher, instead of an artist owning his own work.
@@c1979h mccartney did have more than enough to buy it at 20 million and not think twice, which he should have done, but hes a bad businessman and always has been, its part of being a succesful artist aswell, michael k
found out from people like quincy jones and berry gordy, firstly take the business route or someone else will and secondly know your worth, even at 11 he didnt acceot stupid deals worth far less than he was worth because he was intelligent unlike paul who accepted them and was tempted by sudden cash without thinking about its future when he was in his late teens to twenties and on
Great work putting this video together!
I've known this was the case for a long time I think I heard about it on the Howard Stern Show in the 90s. Thanks for compiling all these clips I've never seen them before now
Michael Jackson called me and ask do you wanna make some hits, and I said “yeah sure”
Lennon used to say 'Let's write a swimming pool.' or a song that paid enough royalties to build a pool. Money is the main driver with most bands, forget all the 'we're in it for the art, we don't make any money' spiel they come out with.
WAY TO GO, Sir Paul!! What integrity! What grace!
@TheManMan Grace in how he handled MJ’s disloyal “snake move.” In other words, McCartney just wreaks of class. He doesn’t seem consumed with vindictive rage. Man, I would’ve been ‘off the chain’ in calling out MJ as a Judas. McCartney took the high road, and in so doing he demonstrated total class and grace.
@TheManMan You’re 100% correct. He said that exactly. I think Sir Paul didn’t take him seriously enough, or thought he was just kidding ... The one aspect where I think McCartney bears some blame is in not just buying the music himself. I know he briefly addresses that in this segment. And so he (McCartney) had to know that if he didn’t buy the publishing rights to the Lennon-McCartney Catalogue, SOMEONE eventually would, whether it be MJ or someone else. So that aspect of things is the only head-scratcher for me, where Paul seems perhaps a tad disingenuous. Maybe I’m missing something. Lol
@TheManMan And I’ve heard often times (who knows if it’s true) that McCartney has a reputation for being a tightwad, which is crazy because the guy is worth like a gazillion dollars. He’s so rich, that he was the richest person in the UK. Heather Mills divorced him and took almost half of all he had. And he was STILL the richest person in England 😂 But anyway, my point being that his being a tightwad is probably why he didn’t buy back his music, and it came back to bite him .
Paul had a chance to buy them and he didn’t. Micheal then told him numerous times he was going to buy them. Then he did.
Mike did the Business move, Paul must blame himself!! 😂
Michael bought them but could have sold them to Paul and Yoko at a reasonable price but instead turned a profit with them by using them for a Nike commercial for shoes and other bs commercial deals. He’s not a friend and I admire Paul’s way of addressing the issue.
Yeah. And after Yoko Ono rejected his offer to team up to buy back those songs, why didn't Paul just try to team up with Michael to buy those songs?? He got no one but himself to blame. It wasn't like Michael was secretly working behind his back.
@@highway264able Why should he?? If McCartney and Ono don't see a need to buy them in the first place, why should Jackson buy them to sell them to them?? That makes absolutely no sense.
@@scanpics491 Truth! Black Ownership drives them KraZy!! 😂🍾
Amazing! Wonderful video. I have actually seen everyone of these a videos separately that are in this video. Wonderful collection of stories about Macca and Michael.
Thank you!
Appreciate you ending the video on that positive note. Kudos.

They were mad a black man own those songs.
@@johnsonnathaniel54 don't be ridiculous, youngster
@@tangogrrl they aren't being ridiculous. Jackson has been the piniata for the institutionally racist media ever since.
@johnsonnathaniel54 lmfao, how does it smell having your bigforehead so far up your own ass. Paul was mad because it was THEIR songs, they wrote them, worked hard on them. It didn't belong to Micheal, black and white ;)
“Friends and money, like oil and water”-Godfather 3
Typical. Michael didn’t destroy his own music legacy but did for the Beatles. Its amazing that Paul’s story didn’t change I’ve the decades. Most other people would have varied it. That’s what happens when it’s true & honourable.
I grew up with Sir Paul. He, along with George, John and Ringo changed my life and also gave me a wonderful part time gig as a Beatles Tribute artist. He continues to share his awesome talent with us today. A true living legend. His legacy will live forever. Michael's legacy of greed will live a lunch time.
Paul is one hell of a storyteller.
💯
Been telling a story since he "became" Paul
When it’s true it doesn’t need memorization.

I really appreciate you cutting the clips together like this.
The effect of one sided journalism.
Terrific mix of Mr McCartney's perspective, words, and insights - Kudos and keep up the awesome details.
Thank you!
Why is McCartney complaining about it? Why didn't he buy his own songs?... None of this would have happened, had he bought the BEATLES Catalogue. Jackson just saw the opportunity and grabbed it!
cuz he didnt have to cuz its lennon-mccartney, and he didnt saw the opportunity since the beginning until michael jackson's era. who in the world have to buy their own songs for 50$ million?
Jackson drove the price up. Paul states it in this exact video...he was fresh on the back of his money from 'Thriller' and 'Off the Wall'...they did try to buy the catalogue but didn't have the money MJ was prepared to throw at it.
$47M in 1985 is equivalent to about $130M today, and as also stated in this video, they'd been pretty much conned in their early business dealings by record companies. They didn't have that kind of money.
I like that once MJ got ownership of the MASSIVE catalog that included other artist besides The Beatles. He gave Little Richard ownership of his publishing back. It shows who he really cared about. Because of that Little Richard(whom I met & worked with) died leaving a 40 million dollar fortune.
Rest In Peace
MJ & Little Richard
It wasn't accepted but he also offered him a lifetime job as a writer in his production company, LR, Stevie, Mavis, Smokey, always paid respects to predecessors
REAL NIGGA VIBES
@@SweaterSwagg So true
..and not the Beatles?..shows he was a shithead
@@proinseasokiellig4388 speak for yourself.
I’m weak when Paul imitates MJ’s voice 😂😂
What’s revealing to me is just how much more money young MJ had than Paul, because if money is money, Michael was able to easily purchase something Paul couldn’t.
Hahaha
Thank you
Michael owns almost the entire Sony music catalog. It really was just businesses. Paul had the chance to buy his own catalog, but he took advice form Yoko so that’s on him. Paul should be mad at Yoko for giving him bad advice and not Micheal for listening to his good advice.
No...Micheal scammed him
Michael didn't scam him. Paul had an opportunity to buy the catalog and didn't. Paul screwed up twice. The first time when they lost the catalog rights and the second time when he didn't buy it back. That's on him and no one else.
@@boardwalkbw7130 how? Paul was showing off to this young black man and didn’t think Michael was actually listening. You think Michael didn’t know how many artists the Beatles basically stole from and never gave them credit? Mike gave back to Sly and the Stone Family, Lil Richard and several other artists that were truly gipped by these record labels for decades. Someone on another video said it best, as soon a black man makes a move it’s about friendship, honor, betrayal, but when a white man makes moves it’s just business. Mike said he was going to do it and he did. He needs to get over it. The man is dead now and all you older people spent years tormenting him.
@@48mavemiss2 no need to make it about race and who did the Beatles steal from? A cover isn't stealing, just because little Richard inspired them doesn't mean they are stealing, they wrote all their songs after Help!. Its dumb to say that they are stealing in the same sense of Elvis who would get writing credits on covers .
@@48mavemiss2 baseless accusations lol
I agree commercials do devalue the songs when used to advertise products.
My God yes. I still remember how angry I was when I first saw that nike commercial.
That's one way to look at it. ON the other hand, the music was able to live on and gain a larger fan base because of insertion into the commercial realm. The Beatles stole music from other artists. It's bigger than them.
@@mrsaye499 Oh, please. The Movies do so to songs, but not commercials. "The Beatles stole music from other artists" - that was the funniest part of your comment.
Some vehicle commercial used rock n roll by led zeppelin. I Didnt buy the vehicle but I've purchased that song at least three times since hearing it in that commercial. We are young is another song in the same situation and I'm glad the songwriters actually get payed on those deals.
No. Commercials add value to songs because it opens up their music to a new generation of listeners.
Can you imagine writing songs that sold over 1 billion copies, and somebody else owned them and cashed in !!!
You mean just about every artist lol
This is nothing new, this has happened to almost every black artist from that time period. Most have died broke and pennyless while the white person that owned their lifes work became millionares. The only difference here is that the roles are reversed, and that makes a lot of people angry. I wonder why?
@@tapmaan6150 My comment was in no way racial, so leave race out of it. The Beatles were being ripped of long before Michael Jackson bought their catalogue !!!
Yeah Paul did the same thing to so many other artist
Don't feel sorry for Paul he owned the publishing to so many other artists and never gave a damn about those signers and song writers
His performance at this years Glastonbury 2022 was legendary plus he collaborated with David Grohl & The Boss Bruce Springsteen.
One of the best nights of my life 🥹💜
I can’t remember a time I didn’t know about the Beatles. And Paul was always my favorite. Personally, it still bothers me when I hear about what Michael did. They were friends and Michael had so much going for him… he really didn’t have to do it. As an artist understanding what his own music meant to him, it’s still surprising to me that he would do what he did to Paul.
Sadly, maybe it's karma because at the end, Michael was paranoid about being killed for the catalog. I was surprised to hear the ruthlessness of it too. It sounds to me like the survival mode took over Michael.
Yes he definitely should’ve done that it’s definitely a weird situation they became great friends that unfortunately is what probably made Mj become less open minded and understanding of their friendships
@@treasurechest2951I was thinking of the irony of that parallel as well but that hardly seems like karma to me. He didn't kill anyone over it.
@@treasurechest2951 Jackson bought it fair and square how is that karma? Maybe Paul should've outbid Michael for the catalogue.
@@freebandz4332 Karma is just cause and effect, not a moral game. MJ buying in that way created contention btwn he and Paul.. What followed was contention in himself. That's all I meant.
Michael obviously outsmarted Paul, and he did not betray anyone. He was able to pay the asked price at that given time. Michael was a savy businessman, he was more than just cute and softspoken.
CatSara yeh savvy businessman who was nearly bankrupt and had to do a lucrative tour which killed him !
@@jamesinbradford5882 back then he was wealthy and he was still rich when he died he just did not have any money in his pockets
And that’s what he was pissed about.
he was also incredibly wasteful and irresponsible with money. But it came off as betrayal to me.
@@taroman7100 you know he's the highest earning dead celeb... right? plus he was highest earning in 2016 when Sony bought his share of catalogue.... so how irresponsible? he made the life of his kids so luxurious even when he's not around...
You can tell he's holding back how he feels
He was very jelous that MJ had the money to buy and he didn't.
@@andreawilliams2386 of course he was jealous, it’s his own songs??
@@AliRaza-yf7bp what the other artist that he owns, that don’t have enough money to buy the own music back. It literally business
I'm glad Mike did it to him
@@AliRaza-yf7bp he could’ve bought them himself but he didn’t.
Paul Mc Cartney is a musician from another era. Where music mattered more than money.
Exactly he thought you make music for the ears not for the wallets
@@lizi.2503 so why did he buy up other peoples and use them in commercials
i'm so grateful for his integrity. it's payed off. as a result, i don't associate beatles music w/anything besides enjoying them on their respective LP's. really lets the music breathe.
I see paul mcarrney's point. But nichael was truthful from the start. He did say his aim was to purchase the beatles catalogue
Whenever I hear the song "Anticipation" I still visualize an upside down ketchup bottle and I haven't seen that commercial in years, so I can get what Paul was saying about songs being commercialized.
Yes, and I'm certain the majority of people who grew up with that Heinz ketchup commercial even knew who Carly Simon was.
Dude! THAT example really makes me get it. Commercial images associated w/ jingle
" Anticipation ". Carly Simon?
No...
" Anticipation ", ketchup!
Mmmhmmm
