What Makes This Singer Great? Paul McCartney

He wrote songs that made the whole world sing and we're still singing his songs more than 50 years later.

Paul McCartney's name is certainly synonymous with greatness both as part of the Beatles and as a solo artist.

Not only is Paul a great singer but his songwriting abilities are like very few others and his songwriting collaboration with John Lennon is still the most successful in music history.

A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he always had a knack for creating catchy melodies and telling great stories through his songs.

Today we'll explore a variety of performances from Paul displaying his varied styles and approaches. I'll be sharing my thoughts of what I think made him great and I'd love to hear your thoughts as well. Please make sure to let me know in the comments!

I saw McCartney back in 02 or 03. Two and a half hours of Beatles and Wings songs and the man didn't take a break the entire show. The best concert I've ever seen in my life.

The thing about McCartney is that you don’t realize how great he is as a singer until you’re trying to sing his songs in their original key, the man is amazing, so versatile

[polmccharmly]

Look at how he can do both very gentle singing, like Hey Jude, Yesterday etc, and then you have I'm Down, Helter Skelter, Oh! Darling, Monkberry Moon Delight which are all amazing screamers, the diversity of this man's voice is truly amazing

[josephsciortino]

Paul McCartney is by far the greatest Singer Song Writer of all time. I am not sure anyone else has come close to what he has accomplished in his career. Just amazing. I AM

[miguelfitzsimmy]

He's an incredible singer. Instinctually melodic but with a real chameleon quality in terms of vocal character. Full on screamer to dulcet crooner, often in the space of one song!

[VIDEOHEREBOB]

His live "Long Tall Sally" cover absolutely blew me away. When it was time to croon, he crooned with the best of them. When it was time to belt, he ramped up too. Extremely versatile singer.

[eziospaghettiauditore]

He's the most versatile singer. He can literally sing anything any genre and he did

[mybelle]

He is the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. Love Paulie!

[mattyc.]

He still sings songs in their original key. Billy Joel thought that was impressive.

When I first heard Maybe I'm Amazed (studio cut) I was blown away. He's pouring his heart into this song.

He can sing tenderly, but then totally shred with Helter Skelter or Oh Darling. It's a amazing....

[jimpaquette]

Underrated singer for sure just listen to Oh Darling one of the best vocal performances of all time! I think you should feature that song sometime! McCartney = LEGEND!

[jamesmckellar]

He has always been able to convey a mood, ; bright, forlorn, or angry, and I think vocally that is his magic

[benjimartinnc]

There are a number of music legends who have either died, retired from performing, or became recluses, and then there's Sir Paul McCartney. His career has lasted more than six decades from when he first joined John Lennon's band the Quarrymen to right now at age 77. Also, Paul's work as a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and actor (remember Give My Regards To Broad Street?) has stood the test of time, and his voice is still as strong and potent today as it was when he debuted as a member of the Beatles.

[benp.]

Wings Over America has to be the best live album of all time. His vocals are incredible!

[Erck]

If I could sing like anyone it would be Paul McCartney. Not because of his vocal ability but because of the connection he makes with so many people and the power to make them feel.

[jeffschielka]

Hey Ken! Paul is the master. A legend. The ultimate showman. It's incredible how his voice has withstood the test of time. There are only a few that can hold an audience in the palm of their hand. Paul is definitely one. His stage presence is like no other. Simply amazing! Such a shame that John was taken from us. Just IMAGINE what could of been with two of the greatest song writers to ever create music. Paul McCartney THE VOICE. THE MASTER. FOREVER BEATLES!!!🐞🐞🐞🐞

[zackp]

He will never be forgotten. His smooth lyric tenor voice can be recognized immediately. Greatest of all time!

[freddiewilliam]

my great aunty has seen the beatles live when they first toured in 1963 in manchester, she said she could barely hear anything but she still said it was absolutely amazing. i also ABSOLUTELY love the beatles and they changed music forever. R.I.P John Lennon and George Harrison

[Unonomouse]

Paul McCartney is a legend and will be remembered forever. My favorite vocal performance by him is on 'Oh Darling!' he absolutely kills it

[liyaandinnamay]

Paul is a rare example of extreme talent and extreme dedication.👍🏻💯👏 To my opinion he reached the highest level possible! His silky and gentle voice reaches the deepest parts of my soul, Paul is one of the kind. I can't help singing along with him. Nostalgia!🤗🤗💞💞💞
I tell you, it's just so scary how fast time flies. You blink once and your favourite songs are decade old.😱🤪💕

[gabrielal]

RAM is the album where he shows to the world his musical skills: all he plays it in this album and all the songs he sings show he really have a big vocal range, a great ability to play different instruments and his ability for create melodies and put it all together. He's really a legend! I hope many people give it a chance to his solo career which has a lot of treasures, his contributions like a beatle were magnific but in his solo career you can find amazing songs too.
