@BoxOfNinjas Anyone who thinks that George Harrison was not an excellent guitarist is a fool. True, he was not a great virtuoso, but he was exceptionally musical. His guitar playing fit the songs perfectly and never intruded upon them. That's called musicianship.

This particular video is just...

@gmd1417 Just caught this reply. Give the guy a break, he's nearly 70 years old. Besides, Paul did some great solo albums that can stand with the best of the Beatles. I'm talking "Flaming Pie" and Chaos and Creation in the Backyard," each with numerous songs that would be considered classics t...

@MrTMarshy Yes it does, and Paul has independently done lots of work that would as well. "Flaming Pie" and "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard" are two outstanding albums with many Beatlesque songs.

@dsmdan5242 Check yourself, man. Unless you are a millionaire, you, too, are one of the 99%, which means that you are getting screwed royally by huge corporations and the superrich. They have all the power, and we have none, regardless of who wins elections. That is the reality of American soc...

Absolutely awful, and it's not just the poor sound quality. I heard them perform it at the White House in a tribute to Paul. It was virtually a note-for-note cover of the original and sounded better than this crap. Of course, they also had Paul's own band backing them up. Any comparison of th...

@panlemans "I'm not too fond of people covering Beatles songs, but this one is soo beautiful."

In general, I agree. The original versions are etched so deeply into my mind that anything else seems a sacrilege. But Emmylou's cover of "For No One" is an exception to the rule. In fact, I find t...

@rfranklinw1 This is correct. John and Paul agreed to share credit for songwriting, regardless of which of them was most responsible for a given song. Nowadays, it is a popular pastime to argue about who wrote which song. in most, but not all, cases, once they got into the recording studio, th...

This is a hauntingly beautiful song that took great courage to write and perform, because the tune is so simple and the instrumentation stripped so bare that it does not have a broad appeal. But Paul was secure enough in himself to pull it off. Those who listen to it deeply and openly will be r...

This is an absolutely exquisite, heartfelt song that could only have been written by one man--Paul McCartney--and this is the best version of it that I have heard. It is relatively unknown, which is a great loss to the world.

@rizkunisnator It's a shame that so many people are either unaware of or simply dismiss Paul's post-Beatles career. It's as though his genius is waiting to be rediscovered. Some of it has to do with the John/Paul rivalry, which John and Paul got over, but other people cannot. In just two of Pa...

"Blackbird" is one of Paul's true gems. The chord progressions are something that Mozart would have appreciated, I have no doubt. Sarah's version is as true to the original as it could possibly be, and it adds her own wonderful voice.

@rodneyracoon This is one of the great unanswerable questions, right up there with "what is the meaning of life?" Clearly, the internal competition, as well as the collaboration, is what made the group so extraordinary. I'm just thankful that they found each other when they did and stayed toget...

@greenwich1754 It's also indicative of the fact that John often needed input from the other Beatles to bring his musical ideas to complete fruition. As great a songwriter as he was, he was limited as a musician and arranger. I treasure John, but Paul was the one who had the complete package (an...

Oh, and I think that Shaq has to be included in the conversation of best center ever. In his prime, two men could barely guard him. He could rebound and defend when he wanted to. His great weakness was/is foul shooting, making him something of a liability in crunch time.

First time that I have seen this video. With the passage of time, we tend to forget the singular greatness of this man. No one, before or since, has been his equal.

@mikedemilo Speaking of great songs by a great songwriter, people should listen to some of Paul's solo albums, in particular "Flaming Pie" and "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard." The are more than a few songs on both albums that can stand up with the best of the Beatles. Very few Beatles fans...

@Glen2k1 Sure, I get it. But when you that the "Beatles are for everybody," it gets me thinking about how rare it is for musicians to be both artistically excellent and broadly popular commercially. In trying to think of other examples, it's hard to come up with very many. Sinatra is one. May...

Usually, I cannot stand old rockers performing long after their time has passed, but Paul is a notable exception to that rule. This guy is just amazing, and his music is as fresh as it was 40 years ago. That is the true test of greatness--timelessness. Almost all of what passes for popular mus...

Of course his voice is not what it was 40 years ago, but this was a truly heartfelt performance of one of his and John's very best songs ("A Day in the Life".) Paul still has it after all these years. We are lucky to have him on this earth with us to make life a little more bearable. Oh, how I...

@thegrinchl7 Wrong. "The White Album" has some of the Beatles best work along with several "throw-aways." The latter were included mainly as filler material to make it a two record set. "Dear Prudence," "Happiness is a Warm Gun," "Blackbird," "Mother Nature's Son" and "Helter Skelter" are al...

I am not very familiar with Paul's Wings phase, but I must admit that this is a first rate piece of work. The guy is simply brilliant.

@TobiasSueess Suit yourself. I would just call it "music," very great music. Labels are not important.
