If Macca plays this one at the Grammys I may just watch  ( love that ' Wing's Bass   '   [  Yamaha BB series that has a fat & meaty tone   ]  )   !!!!!  :







Damn   ---   Paul is absolutely rocking that bass .  No friggin  wonder he is considered one of the most influential and greatest  bass players in music history  [ See : John Entwistle and Bill Wyman   ]

According to Kanye, him and Paul co-wrote 5 or 6 songs
for Kanye's upcoming album. Kanye was playing the
demos for Rihanna, she heard Four Five Seconds, and
said, "That one's mine!" She contacted the label execs
and Kanye and Paul were gently persuaded. She then
did her usual thing, changing the words and
arrangement to make it hers and...

Voila!

It will be #5 on the next Billboard Hot 100, plus it has
been number 1 on USA Itunes for 3 days straight now,
so its got a decent shot at Billboard's top spot next week.

(And THAT is how you do it, Mick)

McCartney is the most prolific composer
and performer when it comes to #1 hits. I said 30
earlier, it's actually 32...

The two most successful chart-topping black males are
Michael Jackson (14 #1s, tied with Rihanna) and
Stevie Wonder(10. The Stones have 8, Kanye has 4).

Interestingly, according to Billboard, the biggest
single for Michael was Say Say Say and for Stevie
it was Ebony and Ivory, their duets with Sir Paul.
That makes McCartney, surprisingly I guess, quite
a presence in black music history.

The oldest performer to go to #1 was Louis
Armstrong, at age 62. Paul would obviously smash
that record if this current tune goes all the way.

Paul gets 'Out There' in New York City

Irving Plaza- New York - Saturday, February 14th

On Valentine's Day Paul had a busy schedule. First he rehearsed songs with his band for the "SNL 40 LIVE Special" which airs tonight at 7pm ET to 11:30pm ET on NBC. Then he was seen at Madison Square Garden sitting in the audience for a sports event, which made him late for his scheduled 9pm show at Irving Plaza.

Earlier in the day 200 tickets were released at the Irving Plaza box office at 10am. Only one wristband would be given out for a fee of $40 cash. The concert was General Admission though it is thought there were some pricey VIP tickets for seats in the balcony running close to $900. Scalpers were reportedly asking $500 a ticket.

February 15, 2015 -- Paul McCartney Twitter

February 15, 2015 -- Showbiz411
by Roger Friedman

Paul McCartney: Meryl Streep, Steve van Zandt, Lorne Michaels, Lucky Few Hear Mostly Beatles Set at NYC Club

What a crowd, what a night, what a set: Paul McCartney and his band played a two hour set of mostly Beatles songs and some solo rarities for a lucky few hundred people tonight. McCartney took over the smallish Irving Plaza, run now by LiveNation, and charged just $40 a ticket. Of course, prices on CraigsList were up to $500 by the time McCartney hit the stage with "Eight Days a Week."

In the crowd were Meryl Streep, Lorne Michaels, Fred Armisen, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, Maureen and Steve van Zandt, Chris Rock, Peter Asher among the A-listers.

The set included "Let it Be," "I've Just Seen a Face," "Drive My Car," "All My Loving," "Back in the USSR," "Ob-la-Di-Ob-la-Da," "Lady Madonna," "Hey Jude," "We Can Work it Out," and the "Golden Slumbers" medley that ends "Abbey Road." McCartney also threw in great solo hits like "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Another Day," "Every Night," "Jet," "Let Me Roll It," "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five."

McCartney, who will play live on "SNL 40" on Sunday night, joked before "USSR" about playing in Russia. He said a fan had told him he'd learned English listening to Beatles songs. "Hello, goodbye," he offered.

McCartney at nearly 73 just keeps rocking, and sounding youthful and energetic as ever.

Check back for a video or two and some photos...

February 15, 2015 -- Associated Press

Paul McCartney is not lacking for love

The former Beatle was surrounded by celebrity fans at a nearly two-hour Valentine's Day concert Saturday at New York City's Irving Plaza.

"Tonight is about love," he told his audience, as rose petals fell.

He entertained a wide group of admirers, including Peyton Manning, Eddie Murphy, Emma Stone, Tom Hanks and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. Other celebs who attended included Jim Carrey, Paul Rudd, Kristen Wiig, Q-Tip, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, David Spade, Andy Cohen and Billy Crystal.

McCartney performed excitedly on guitar and keys, singing "Hey Jude," ''Drive My Car," ''Let It Be" and "Carry That Weight."

And he gave as good as he got.

"New York City, you have been fantastic tonight," he told his audience. "We love you."

While we're waiting for the current possible
#1 drama to play out, let's look at McCartney's
astonishing track record as a Top 10 artist. It makes
him inarguably the most successful performer/
composer in the history of popular music
(statistics from wikipedia)

Most top 10 singles

38
Madonna
36
Elvis Presley (Pre-Hot 100 charts and Hot 100)
34
The Beatles
29
Michael Jackson
28
Stevie Wonder
27
Elton John
Janet Jackson
Mariah Carey
Rihanna
24
Paul McCartney
23
The Rolling Stones
Whitney Houston

(14   Wings)

a) McCartney as a solo act has more top 10's than the Rolling Stones!

b) McCartney's total, including with his groups: 72!

Also:

c) The nominal leader, Madonna, got her 27th Top 10
at age 36. Rihanna just got hers at age 27!

Mick attended a small private party to celebrate
Rihanna's 27th, along with his pal (and Rih's rumored
new boyfriend) Leonardo DiCaprio. Apparently no
Paul or Kanye...

http://www.people.com/article/rihanna-leonardo-dicaprio-birthday-party

As far as I know, this is the first time Mick has honored
Rihanna with his presence at one of her events. About
freaking time, since SuperHeavy was something of
a ripoff of what she was doing on her first two albums...

Song made it to Billboard #4 but, sorry Paul, it looks
like Rihanna just pulled the plug on it. She released
another new song today, video to follow next week...

She's amazing.

(update: I like Paul's Four Five Seconds very much,
but I never completely lost it for the song. But this
new one today from Rih, Towards the Sun, I can't
stop listening to it. At least twenty times in a row
now. Too pop for most Stones fans, too pop for
me I thought on first listen, but the tribal/classical
undercurrent, its like george martin meets gospel
meets the lion king uptown or something. as usual,
a completely new sound from rihanna. there's no
generic rihanna sound. she makes the strangest
shit into hits. her records are amongst the best ever
made. (but forget her live shows, she's goofs off
most of the time). but her records are reggae
dancehall gospel club pop rock hiphop perfection.)

The rumor persists of McCartney, Rihanna, and Kanye
doing joint stadium shows this summer in Europe.

Rih and Eminem pioneered the concept this past
summer for 5 stadium shows in America.

They combined their bands, opened and closed the
show together, and in between did separate blocks
of their own songs. One big 40 song show.

WTF are Rihanna and Kanye? Those unbearable human beings which appear in 'E!'?

Sorry for not being able to understand that, but, things aside, that channel, 'E', was a nice channel by the late eighties. Through that channel I first listened about 'La Strada' [a Fellini movie], and 'Pink Flamingos' [I hate that movie; it's funny, but I draw a line when it comes wth animal cruelty.]

Paul essentially invented the mini-tour for superstars,
like the Stones, unless you want to credit Streisand,
which I don't, since she's not rock in the slightest...

So, whether or not it happens, there is a compelling
commercial logic to this possible rock pop/dance pop
partnership, which I'm sure would be at least seriously
considered by the REAL king of pop (sorry, Michael
Jackson, not you)

Michelle, my belle, you can stand under my umbrella,
ella ella, ay ay

Quite awesome to think about a whole stadium
bursting into tears when P, R, and K do "ebony and
ivory"

(Rih is really good at crying during her shows.
Sometimes she cries during the whole song, and
just lets the audience sing it. seriously.)

Go Paul!

It's over, I guess. No more McCartney Rihanna. Maybe
even no more McCartney Kanye. Or Rihanna Kanye.

Everything changed in the last 24 hours. Rihanna pulled
the plug on the single, releasing one of her own instead.
And she suddenly pulled out of the Brits, which was a
long-rumoured co-appearance. McCartney announced
he's headlining some Euro festival by himself. Kanye
announced Four Five Seconds is going to be on his
album, not Rihanna's...

I guess the single, which made it to #1 in most
countries, was still not mega enough to launch a tour.
It didn't turn into a PHENOMENON so Rihanna pulled
the plug on the whole thing. Sort of like Mick and
SuperHeavy.

Currently sitting at #1 on USA Itunes is the brand new single
from Kanye West featuring Paul McCartney, "All Day".

http://snkhan.co.uk/stuff/iTunes.php?chart=US

"All Day" is Kanye and Paul's third straight hit single, following up
on the success of "Only One" and "Four Five Seconds".

The new song features the word "nigga" forty-five times, a new record
for any song by an artist who was part of the original British
invasion. Mick Jagger, a member of the previous record-holders,
The Rolling Stones (Sweet Black Angel, one use of "nigga"), took
to Twitter to congratulate Sir Paul: "Way to go, bro. Wish I would've
thought of Kanye instead of Will I Am."
