Tuesday, January 3, 2023

Paul McCartney named his favorite love songs of all time. His list includes songs by Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and The Beatles.
He revealed why he writes love songs so often.

Paul McCartney‘s favorite love songs are primarily by artists who got their start before The Beatles. Some of the songs are by Frank Sinatra. In addition, one of them is a song by The Beatles.

In the 2015 book Conversations With Paul McCartney, Paul was asked to name some of his favorite love songs of all time.

“I’ve always loved ‘Stardust,’ it was one of my all-time favorites, by Hoagy Carmichael,” he said. “A great melody.

“A song that’s become one of my particular favorites is ‘The Very Thought of You,’ which interestingly was written by Ray Noble, a British guy,” Paul continued. “It’s not often that you get these classics that Sinatra and Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett would sing as part of their regular repertoire, written by a British guy. So, well done our team.” Noble was a bandleader known for his recording of “Midnight, the Stars and You” that was featured in The Shining.
