BlackbirdThe 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 many world tours have re-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. Beyond updated appendices and rare photos, this edition includes a substantial new chapter discussing McCartney's recent life. Like no other book, Blackbird presents the real Paul. |
