Then: Paul McCartney
Along with John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney gained worldwide fame in the 1960s as a member of the Beatles, which is arguably the single most popular and influential group in pop music history. During “Beatlemania,” the press sometimes referred to McCartney as the “cute Beatle,” and in addition to singing, he played the guitar, piano, and bass.
