"Paul McCartney is the first name that appears in our minds when we listen to a classic Beetles song. Although he left the group, he is one of the most famous ex-Beetles who had a very successful solo singer career. With an estimated fortune of £475 million, he has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American television and radio. He is one of the most important musicians of the 20th century and has cracked the Top Forty 35 times.

In 1969, McCartney married American photographer Linda Eastman, whom he described as the woman who gave him ""the strength and courage to work again"" after the break-up of The Beatles. He formed a band along with his wife Linda in 1971 called as Wings. The band had a moderate success. Paul owns Peasmarsh home near Rye in East Sussex, England is a 1,500 acre estate, where he spent much of his married life with wife Linda. Paul has a vast collection luxurious cars Aston Martin DB6, 50s Ford Anglia (hot rod) and Land Rover IIA."

"Paul always had difficulties regarding reading of musical notation and he writes and plays by ear."
"I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird."
"The combination of those four guys was pretty interesting. We weren't together that long but think of the work we put in. Every album was different. Album after album, single after single beat the last one. The nice thing now is I don't have to be modest about The Beatles any more. I can call them great because it's over. There was something very special about The Beatles."
"Many years ago I was fishing, and as I was reeling in the poor fish, I realised, 'I am killing him - all for the passing pleasure it brings me'. Something inside me clicked. I realised as I watched him fight for breath that his life was as important to him as mine is to me."
"I've learnt to compartmentalise. There's me and there's famous Him. I don't want to sound schizophrenic, but probably I'm two people. I'm the guy who does shows ... but I'm also the guy who goes home to the kids. There I am just Dad."

The engine, continued with its triple SU carb setup[8] producing 282 bhp (210 kW; 286 PS) at 5,500 rpm; the Vantage engine option is quoted at 325 bhp (242 kW; 330 PS) against the 314 bhp (234 kW; 318 PS) of the DB5.
