Paul McCartney Compares Songwriting With John Lennon vs. Linda McCartney

Paul McCartney has written hundreds of hit songs by himself and collaborated with other artists, including John Lennon and his late wife, Linda. While these duos created successful singles and albums, McCartney reveals that Lennon and Linda’s songwriting processes differed.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney were frequent collaborators during their time with The Beatles. The two were responsible for many of The Beatles’ greatest hits, including songs like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Eight Days a Week,” “A Hard Day’s Night,” “Hello Goodbye,” “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” and “Yellow Submarine.” There is debate on who deserved more credit for specific songs, but the two were a dynamic duo in the 1960s.

After leaving The Beatles, McCartney worked with Linda on many songs in his solo career and with Wings. The two are credited with writing the album Ram together and the song “Live and Let Die” for the 1973 James Bond movie of the same name. Linda did write some songs by herself that appeared in her posthumous album Wide Prairie.
