How did paul McCartney become famous?

Answer 1

McCartney was knighted for his ongoing charity and goodwill work in the United Kingdom, including purchasing John Lennon's former school to transform into a performing-arts high school.

Claims that the knighthood came because of "services to music" are unfounded; the British government does not supervise or manage popular music in any way.

Answer 2

His knighthood was prompted by criticism following the knighthood of Sir George Martin; it was asked why McCartney - who surely contributed as much to popular music of the last 45 years as George Martin did wasn't knighted when Martin was.

Answer 3

McCartney (and Lennon) were born into musical families; McCartney's father Jim was a talented pianist who had his own dance band. Paul was bought a Trumpet as a child, which he swapped for a guitar - so he could sing at the same time. There was something of a craze for Guitars in the mid 1950s, mainly as a result of Lonnie Donegan's successful skiffle band.
