James Paul McCartney was born on the 18^th of June, 1942, in HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool" \o "Liverpool" Liverpool. His father, Jim McCartney, was a self-taught pianist, and dance-band leader who encouraged Paul to be musical. His father gave him a trumpet, which he largely abandoned when he realised that he could not sing while playing. Later, when HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skiffle_music" \o "Skiffle music" skiffle music became popular, Paul swapped the trumpet for a £15 Zenith acoustic guitar (which he still has).

Paul McCartney first rose to fame as a bassist, pianist, guitarist, singer and songwriter for HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles" \o "The Beatles" The Beatles. He met HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon" \o "John Lennon" John Lennon at a picnic on HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_6" \o "July 6" July 6, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1957" \o "1957" 1957, and was invited to join Lennon's band HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quarrymen" \o "The Quarrymen" The Quarrymen as a guitarist. McCartney's schoolmate, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Harrison" \o "George Harrison" George Harrison, joined soon after as a third guitarist, followed by the addition of HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Sutcliffe" \o "Stuart Sutcliffe" Stuart Sutcliffe on bass. HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Best" \o "Pete Best" Pete Best joined on drums, rounding out the original lineup of the band. McCartney took over bass guitar duties in the early 1960s, when Lennon and Harrison declined following the departure of Sutcliffe. HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringo_Starr" \o "Ringo Starr" Ringo Starr replaced Best as drummer in 1962 to complete The Beatles' final line-up.

McCartney formed a close working relationship with Lennon and they collaborated on many songs. Out of all The Beatles compositions, it is claimed only 27 were composed by both equally. Typically, one would write most or part of a song and the other would finish it, incorporate it into another song or suggest useful changes. One of McCartney's most famous songs, covered by over 2,500 artists, is " HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterday_%28song%29" \o "Yesterday (song)" Yesterday". McCartney claims the melody came to him in a dream, and was not sure for some time that the melody was original. During the early years of The Beatles' recording career, McCartney developed rapidly as a musician, singer and songwriter.

Among The Beatles, Paul was the last to HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage" \o "Marriage" marry and the only one never to HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce" \o "Divorce" divorce.

They met again a couple of weeks later at the HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_1" \o "June 1" June 1, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967" \o "1967" 1967 launch party for HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Pepper%27s_Lonely_Hearts_Club_Band" \o "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the relationship blossomed over the next two years. He and Linda married at a small civil ceremony at Marylebone Registry Office in 1969, while he was still a member of The Beatles. He adopted Linda's daughter from her first marriage, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_McCartney" \o "Heather McCartney" Heather (born 1962), and they went on to have three other children together: HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_McCartney" \o "Mary McCartney" Mary (born 1969, and named after Paul's late mother), HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_McCartney" \o "Stella McCartney" Stella (born 1971), and HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McCartney" \o "James McCartney" James (born 1977, and named after Paul's late father, who died in 1976).
