McCartney Times

The songwriting partnership of John Lennon and Paul McCartney stretched well beyond their songs for The Beatles. Throughout their careers, the duo wrote songs for other artists, together and individually, spreading hits out to the likes of The Rolling Stones, pop duo Peter & Gordon, and even their old bandmate Ringo Starr.

Throughout their peak songwriting era, 1962 through 1970, the duo wrote five hits for pop singer Billy J. Kramer, then with The Dakotas—”From a Window,” “I’ll Be on My Way,” “Bad to Me,” “I Call Your Name,” and “I’ll Keep You Satisfied”—and other British acts like Cilla Black, The Fourmost and even gave the Stones an early hit.

Though McCartney went on to work with multiple artists, including writing “Say Say Say” with Michael Jackson,” and wrote several tracks, including “Veronica,” with Elvis Costello, three albums with The Fireman project along with producer Martin Glover (Youth), and his 2014 collaboration with Kanye West for “Only One.”
