    Even though many Paul's post Beatles songs in 80s and On were no comparison to his solo and Wings era.
    Few good tunes scattered throughout last 20 years , but should still not take away from the huge and fantastic or beautifully written catalog of some of the best songs ever written with Lennon. Timeless, and will be loved forever much longer after all of us are gone . For future generations for ever!
    A collaboration by the Beatles and our creator ! The magic of the joining up of McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr was a miracle to have even happened ! But most likely will never happen like that again.

    Paul McCartney once said he has many unpublished, half finished and finished songs, and I can believe that. I once saw him on The South Bank Show, compose a song on the spot on a piano on the show, in front of Melvin Bragg.
    Diana Krall is the wife of Elvis Costello, whom Paul McCartney also wrote songs with and collaborated with musically, recording together.

    I never heard "mine for me" so you're off to a bad start. And the "Bad Finger" song you played from "The Magic Christian", I've know from the start was written and produced by Paul McCartney after I watched the film when it first came out at the theater. "'U'm Ringo."
    They played that song “Come And Get It” during the scene where they pumped thousands of gallons of offal and feces from the Chicago Stock yards and meat packing plants in a giant above ground pool and then dropped a million dollars in the middle of the putrid pit and showed people diving into it to get as many bills as they could get.

    The BJK & The Dakotas song that Lennon was dissatified with and that The Beatles recorded and released on the 'Long Tall Sally' E.P. (not album) was "I Call Your Name", not "I'll Keep You Satisfied".

    when this great man dies, you will have all these nontalented people in music singing songs of his at a tribute concert, and most of them dont even listen to his music, they are just doing it to be in the spotlight because they know many will be watching a tribute concert for him. and many of them wont even be playing music because many people in music today can't even play music and lack the talent to be musicians.

    It's astounding just how much of rock music that is taken for granted, was actually single-handedly influenced by McCartney's efforts as one of its chief architects; even if The Beatles were to be partially disregarded for said influence, there are no shortage of projects were McCartney himself had something to do with.

    Mine for Me...the excerpt you played of the melody sounds like it was taken from the verses to the song "It Never Rains in California" by Albert Hammond, [1972]. on "Giddy" excerpt Daltry singing "My baby left me for another guy" sounds like a snippet from "Mercy Mercy Mercy" verses, a jazz song written by Joe Zawinul (lyrics by Gail Fisher) coververd by Cannon Ball Adderly, and made popualr as a "rock" song by the Buckinghams; on 1967. Like the line in that song that goes "My baby, when she walks by" same notes.

    There are some problems with this video. The section on "I'll Keep You Satisfied" appears to be all about "I Call Your Name". The section on "6 O'Clock" is missing the header. I know you push out a lot of content, watchmojo, but at least get someone to run their eye over it before you upload.

    I Went looking for Paul's version of Panin'a probably Seven years ago and, I instead found Calos and Mende's Version Instead. my big question is how did the song become Pernin'a? is it just a language thing ?

    Thank you for this video. I knew most of them were by Paul but some were indeed unknown to be. However, there is a mistake in the information, as Linda never composed any song with Paul. I know she got the credit for business reason, and Paul was sued for this reason, as she was not a composer. So, it is not correct to insist she was his partner because...she was not.

    “On The Wings Of A Nightingale” by the Everly Brothers should have done much better in the charts. A song written by Paul McCartney and sung by the Everly Brothers? How could this song miss?? Unfortunately, it did. It came and went with barely a ripple. Even though the Everlys made a big comeback in 1983, throughout their career their management was either sub-par or absent entirely - they needed a Brian Epstein type who would have pushed for them. Really a shame this wonderful song didn’t put them back in the top ten - or Number 1 - in the 1980s.
