Sir James Paul McCartney is a man whose voice still finds a place in the thoughts of music lovers. The musician is known not only for his solo achievements, but also for his excellent work in the famous band The Beatles. Discography of Paul McCartney requires special attention.
Solitude after the breakup of the Beatles
The disintegration of the collective caused a painful impression on the extremely emotional singer, sometimes it seemed that it broke him into the smallest pieces.
The first, it would seem, the right decision was to leave for the west coast of Scotland. There, the McCartney family went into complete isolation and did not contact the outside world, but even the beauty of the wild could not distract the performer from depressing thoughts - he was addicted to alcohol and drugs.
At the right time, Paulโs beloved wife came and told him, โDon't give up.โ At that moment, the discography and biography of Paul McCartney replenished with new albums, events and again took off.
Solo career
In the early spring of 1970, Paul returned with ready material for his debut album. The first McCartney solo record immediately fell in love with the audience and became double platinum. Songs from the album occupied the first places of the music charts for a long time.
The discography of Paul McCartney later replenished with the second Ram album, where in some compositions the voice of the wife of musician Linda is heard. The first records caused a lot of negativity from critics and even Paulโs closest friend, John Lennon.
The death of Lennon shocked Paul McCartney, so a serious stagnation began in his work. But in 1982, the next Tug of War album was released, in which the voices of Stevie Wonder, Eric Stewart and Andy Mackay were surprised.
Among the studio albums should be highlighted:
