Happy birthday, Paul! - 10 from his solo and Wings years

Once again, happy birthday to Sir Paul McCartney who turns 70 today. After leaving The Beatles he has certainly had his ups and downs as a songwriter and performer, both with his band Wings and as a solo artist. Although the songwriting has not been as consistently good as in the 60's, his post-Beatles years is well worth investigating.



Here are my 10 favourite solo/Wings songs by Paul.

1. Paul McCartney & Wings: "Band On The Run" (1973)

2. Paul McCartney: "Maybe I'm Amazed" (1970)

3. Paul McCartney: "My Brave Face" (1989)

4. Paul McCartney: "Coming Up" (1980)

5. Paul McCartney: "Take It Away" (1982)

6. Paul McCartney: "Junk" (1970)

7. Wings: "Mull Of Kintyre" (1977)

8. Paul McCartney: "Jenny Wren" (2005)

9. Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder: "Ebony And Ivory" (1982)

10. Wings: "Silly Love Songs" (1976)
