Paul McCartney, one of the most famous musicians of all time, rose to prominence 50 years ago as part of the British pop sensation The Beatles. From humble, working-class beginnings, McCartney, 70, is now one of the richest men in the world. He has even topped the bill at the White House, playing for US President Barack Obama.

In this episode, he sits down with Sir David for a full hour to tell Frost Over the World his own story of the band, and its break up; to discuss some of the highs - and a few lows - of his life; and to provide a glimpse into his world behind the headlines.

    I liked the way David Frost did not intrude when Paul was speaking, but let him talk uninterrupted.

    That woman who played the spoons and beat Paul in a talent contest.....that was my dear old mum!!!
  • @AnthonyMinsky
    I can never get enough of any Beatle. It is just unbelievable that they even existed.
  • @ComancheWill
    I am near 70. I was there to see the magic unfold. I tell my children and grandchildren I am sorry you miss it. Thank you Paul.....thank you Beatles for a life time of memories

    The Beatles...once in a lifetime and never to be repeated. Glad I was there.

    When I was younger, I envied Paul because of his looks, his voice, his charm, his humor. Now that I'm older and hopefully wiser, I realize that Paul was and is one of those rare human beings who is a gift to mankind not only because of the music he gives us but for being a person we can all hope to emulate. A true delight to hear him talk about life's lessons and the joy he still has for performing for us. "Thank You, Paul" doesn't seem to be enough, does it?
  • Wow! An interview where the subject is allowed to express himself completely without being interrupted every 30 seconds. Terrific interview, thank you.

    I consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world to have lived from the beginning of the Beatles in the USA. I was 13 when I saw you perform at Olympia Stadium in Detroit in 1964. What a truly beautiful time that was!! I have grown with you all, loved the music and all of you to this day. Thank you Paul, John, George, and Ringo for always being in my world with your song. The four of you have no idea how much you are and always will be loved! Cheers and much love forever! Janice 😊❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Just imagine for a moment, Paul's mum had no idea how famous and accomplished her son would become, amazing really when you think of it, it was just her boy, Paul. RIP Paul's Mum.
  • @SharonRiver
    I can't imagine my life without Paul and the Beatles as a integral contribution to my overall consciousness. Thanks Paul.
  • @DavidBreslow
    David was brilliant!!! Finally--a tv personality who lets his GUEST shine!!! Bravo Mr. Frost and thank you.
  • No matter how you may feel about Paul as a person, I happen to like him a lot. And you will have to admit that he is a TRUE MUSICAL GENIUS.

    If you haven't seen Paul McCartney live I urge you to go see him. I saw him play Cardiff about 5 years ago. It was the best gig I have ever attended. A huge sing a long with all the audience involved. It was fantastic. McCartney isn't just a master musician he's a natural born entertainer too.
  • @arniewince7133
    This probably the BEST interview of Paul McCartney I've ever seen and David Frost made Paul very comfortable to open up.
  • @goofydog2
    Reading the April 2015 issue of the Rolling Stone, Ringo's the cover boy and in the magazine he states that him (Ringo) and John lived close by and when they finished an album, they became very lazy. But soon enough, Paul would be calling and telling them 'let's get back to the studio, lads.' Ringo further states that all the music they put down was because of Paul's need to stay busy. Ringo said that we can thank Paul that 12 studio albums were produced, as well as many singles. That IS something to be thankful for! THANKS PAUL!!!

    David Frost another legend..... The warmth and friendship between the two of them speaks volumes .
  • I’ve only seen Paul two times. And they were the greatest shows I’ve ever been to. I’m old and happy to say that I’ve been to a lot of Rock shows. And can’t wait to see Paul again
