**Paul McCartney: A Living Legend of Modern Music**
Born in Liverpool in 1942, Paul McCartney is more than a musician — he is a cornerstone of 20th-century popular culture. As co-founder of The Beatles, McCartney helped redefine the boundaries of popular music. Alongside John Lennon, he crafted some of the most enduring and beloved songs in history.
