More about Paul McCartney and his music career

Paul McCartney began his music career with The Quarrymen, a band originally formed by John Lennon in 1956. The band specialized in Skifle music - a jazz and bluegrass-influenced folk music subgenre.

The band eventually reformed into The Beatles in 1960, with whom McCartney experienced major successes. The Beatles achieved commercial acclaim with their eighth studio album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, released on May 26, 1967. The album remains their most successful, with record sales of over 5 million copies in its initial release only.

After the disbandment of The Beatles in 1970, Paul McCartney continued on to pursue a prolific solo career spanning decades. The singer had his most successful project with his eighth studio album, Flowers in the Dirt, which was released on June 5, 1989.

The album, recorded in collaboration with Elvis Castello, presents a darker tone to familiar harmonics and is replete with The Beatles references. The album also featured collaborations with his now-late wife Linda McCartney.
