Paul McCartney (or, Sir Paul, I suppose) is 76 today!
I really shouldn't have to tell anybody who Paul McCartney is, but here goes:
Paul McCartney was the bass player for a little band called the Beatles, that changed the face of music during the 1960's. He wrote most of their songs (along with some cat named Lennon) and sang on a large percentage. After the Beatles, he went on to a frightfully successful second career, with the band Wings and as a solo artist. And he's done collaborations with folk like Micheal Jackson, Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson, and more. And he's still touring (as recently as december 2017).
There are quite a few videos out there that feature Paul's isolated bass. Worth checking out!
Seriously, if you don't know Macca, you don't know pop/rock music.
Personally: I've never seen McCartney live, but he's solidly represented in my music collection. I have over 300 songs from his Beatles, Wings and solo career.
Happy Birthday Paul McCartney!!
