Description
The most prolific and commercially successful of the Beatles, Paul McCartney has made musical waves for over three decades. His leadership of the Beatles; collaborations with Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Elvis Costello; solo hits, including "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Band on the Run," "Jet," "Silly Love Songs," " No More Lonely Nights," "My Brave Face," and "Put It There"; and world tours have established him to successive generations of listeners. In Blackbird, Beatles insider Geoffrey Giuliano unfolds the whole story of McCartney's contradictory character and colossal talent. Besides updated appendices and rare photos, this edition includes a substantial new chapter discussing McCartney's recent life, including his venture into classical music with the Liverpool Oratorio, the 25th-anniversary reunion of the surviving Beatles, and his wife's harrowing struggle with breast cancer. Like no other book, Blackbird presents the real Paul.
