Paul McCartney Grammys 1990

Paul McCartney receives Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1990 Grammys. Presented by Meryl Streep.

[@MrSouthofBoston]

She went from being a famous movie star to a young nervous Beatles fan before our eyes.

[@t.p.s.musicacademy9301]

What I love about this is that Paul actually seems uncomfortable with getting these kind of attention. He always makes a lot of jokes to deflect his embarrassment and that says a lot about his self humility - love the guy 🤘

[@allymayful]

Tragically - he should have got it earlier, while Linda was alive to share it with him, rather than when he was still grieving his loss. Such a tear jerker. Have you seen the video where he gets up to sing with his fellow performers who were doing some of his songs, assuming Paul wouldn't join them. i start crying - just thinking about it. They had one of the most beautiful marriages in mankind.

People tend to forget when john lennon released Double Fantasy it got mediocre reviews and was going down the charts when he got murdered..then most of the world made it number one...john become a saint...for what he once was..not to diminish his music. Yoko ruined most of it..Paul continued to push his boundaries and write many incredible songs..

[@waynej2608]

John was just starting a new phase. Nobody Told Me, wasn't even released while he was alive. Your comment is unsound.

[@judyb737]

What you say is partially true. When famous singers, athletes, actors. etc. die; the public usually rushes out to buy something to remember them. If it is a tragic death - the more memorabilia is sold! If you did not like Lennon or the Beatles, those people did not purchase his albums or make John a saint. Same way when Kobe Bryant was killed in the helicopter crash - millions purchased his jersey or books. Did I - no. Felt bad he and his daughter and others were tragically killed; but, I don't follow basketball, so why would I buy his jersey or memorial book??? There is a rapper right now on life support (DMX) from a drug overdose. If he dies I am sure is CD's will sell like rockets! I guess as a fan you want to hold on to that person a little longer - I don't really know?!

[@xbmpr]

Idk man some of the arrangements he’d put together on Double Fantasy were pretty pushing for 1980 and I think are very solid when Yoko isn’t absolutely losing it over the track.

[@gg-vc6ks]

And I'd like to thank Paul for being in my dreams. Was that too cheesy? Idk

Random trivia: John liked Meryl, sounded like he had a crush on her and went to see all her plays, NYC circa mid/late '70s. He mentioned it in an interview I read many years ago, which is now completely gone from the internet.

Rubber soul. That’s a bullshit story chief. John never knew meryl Streep.

[@rubbersoul8334]

It didn't say that they knew each other - as I said, it was him talking about being an audience member. I've wondered if she even knew he had mentioned her in the press. I've tried to re-find the interview and couldn't, but I never questioned the legitimacy of it when I read it.
