THIRTEEN SONGSPAUL MCCARTNEY OWNS
This is Paul McCartney's birthday month, and I'm celebrating by devoting each of my June TT's to his life and his career.
Following the long and winding road to Sir Paul losing the publishing rights of the Beatles catalog in 1985 pisses me off, so we're blowing past that.
Instead, here are 13 other familiar songs Paul McCartney owns. It helps explain how he became so damn rich.
1) 76 Trombones from The Music Man
2) A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Bessie Smith
3) Greased Lightening from Grease
4) Hello, Dolly
5) I Won't Grow Up from Peter Pan
6) Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee from Grease
7) One from A Chorus Line
8) Summer Loving from Grease
9) That'll Be the Day by Buddy Holly
10) The Man that Got Away from A Star Is Born
11) Tomorrow from Annie
12) We Need a Little Christmas
13) What I Did for Love from A Chorus Line
I had NO idea he owned all those. I am surprised!
ReplyDeleteOMG--that is sooooooo cool!
ReplyDeleteIt's odd to think people buy and sell songs, but what good songs. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would be like to own the rights to a song.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!

Tomorrow from Annie! That alone was impressive, but everything else--you're right, it explains a lot about why he's so rich. Go Paul!
