Paul McCartney Definitely Didn’t Coast Into A Solo Career After He Left The Beatles :
"To this day it’s still mind boggling how Paul McCartney began his musical career after he left The Beatles. When the band broke up in 1970 he was one of the five or ten most popular and revered musicians on the planet and would’ve had people lining up to play or record music with him.
But that wasn’t how Paul was wired. He definitely was going to do things his way and that’s exactly what he did. He didn’t form a supergroup and didn’t get the most popular musicians of the time to back him. He made a “one man band” album then one with his wife Linda.
When he formed what became known as the band Wings he basically started over from scratch. And endured all of the growing pains that come with the formation of a brand new band, even if your name is Paul McCartney.
Paul didn’t coast off his Beatles’ past. He refused to play any of his already legendary Beatles’ material when the band first hit the road. Even the way he traveled wasn’t like a multimillion dollar musician with a bunch of roadies or in an extravagant way. Paul loaded up a bus with the band’s equipment, the band themselves, with Linda and the kids.
Even showing up at University and College campuses to play impromptu shows. Imagine what it was like to hear that Paul McCartney (the Beatle Paul McCartney) was outside with his new band asking if he could come in to play some songs. Most people thought it was a joke, that is until they saw Paul himself walk in.
All are examples of Paul and his amazing work ethic. Even after he gained and most importantly EARNED every bit of his success and accolades up to that point he still was willing to start over and do it all from scratch again.
Just one of many things that continue to make Paul such an inspirational example to his fans all over the world."
