McCartney Times

Paul McCartney is a gifted and prolific songwriter. As one of The Beatles and as a solo artist, he has made waves for decades as one of the most important artists of his generation, which means the man obviously has genius to spare.

During his time with The Beatles throughout the 1960s, he wrote plenty of songs that simply didn’t get utilised in their discography, and the same can be said of his personal discography later on. McCartney was a pop music maestro like the world had never seen before and, alongside his partner-in-crime John Lennon, was able to flick songs out at will. This resulted in some of his songs finding homes elsewhere with other artists who could put their own spin on things.

There are some singer-songwriters that have a reputation for dishing out hits to their peers; Mccartney and The Beatles’ discography is packed enough that this doesn’t stand true for him, at least not at the forefront of his reputation. However, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t write plenty of songs that ended up in the hands of lots of other artists. While some remained relatively under the radar, others are relatively recognisable, like Rod Stewart’s ‘Mine for Me’ and ‘Songbird In a Cage’ by Charlotte Gainsbourg.
