Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Paul McCartney - Maybe I’m Amazed!

[@The1Mommalau]

Absolutely a big hit! You can be in a room full of people and feel so alone. I think that really is a normal part of life. Introspection. Positive affirmations, finding peace within yourself.

This was a song when he came out of a deep depression from the break up of the Beatles. This was a love song thanking his wife Linda in getting him out of this depression. He played every instrument in this song.

Linda ( Eastman) McCartney was a an American photographer and musician, she married Paul in 1969. Paul suffered from depression after the breakup of the Beatles but Linda got him back to songwriting and recording and he wrote “Maybe I’m Amazed” in Linda’s honour. Sadly Linda passed away in 1998 from cancer.

McCartney and his post Beatles band Wings were an incredible live band. Check out their live album "Wings Over America" (1976). It is one of the best sounding live albums ever. Songs like "Jet", "Band on the Run", "Live and Let Die", and the live version of "Maybe I'm Amazed"- plus many other songs on the album- are outstanding.

'Maybe I'm Amazed' was written by Paul who was feeling down with the Beatles breaking up. He briefly turned to drinking. His wife, as Paul tells it saved his life. She encouraged him to start writing and recording music again This song was a song to his wife Linda. Paul & Linda were together every night. The only night they spent apart was when he was jailed in Japan. That's another story.

No mid-life crisis he was 28! Wrote it just after The Beatles broke up. He was feeling lonely and depressed and started drinking and not getting out of bed. Linda brought him through all that

Paul McCartney still tours and fills large venues. He is still a fantastic performer at the age of 82. He has done quite fantastically since the Beatles' break up.

Fun fact that I’m sure most people didn’t bring up; Linda loved horses and specifically Appaloosas, the spotted ones. When she passed, Paul got the most famous ‘dressage’ Appaloosa and his trainer to perform for her memorial. His name was Pay-n-Go and he was an incredibly cool horse. Signed; a Beatlemaniac and horse girl.

It was the live version of Maybe I'm Amazed that peaked at # 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart. It is the definitive version of the song. From the live album called Wings Over America. 😮😊

[@mathboy8188]

I've heard this probably hundreds of times over the decades, and still, each time, the first seconds his voice kicks in are absolutely stunning. McCartney's voice is just so smooth, so pure, so damn beautiful, it's unreal. And this song really shows it off. This song is a staple of classic rock - I'd assume known by everyone who listens to such music regularly. As for it being "a hit", apparently it wasn't released as a single, but a live version was and was a top ten in the USA. According to Wikipedia: _Although the original recording has never been released as a single, a live performance by McCartney's later band Wings, from the live album Wings over America, was released in 1977; this version became a top-ten hit in the United States and reached number 28 in the United Kingdom. ... In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Maybe I'm Amazed" number 347 on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list._

Sir Paul McCartney is HUGE with and without the Beatles. He’s an amazing musical genius! The woman in the video, Linda McCartney, was the love of his life. They were together for nearly 30 years until her tragic death in 1998 from cancer 😢. Her passing was totally devastating to Paul. I remember hearing him quoted as saying that he “cried for a year”! It was one of the world’s greatest love stories. Fun fact: in their 29 year marriage they never spent a single night apart except for the nine days Paul spent in a Tokyo jail for possession of marijuana. This song was a huge hit in 1970, not long after the Beatles parted ways. 🌸✌️

[@stevefoulston]

Paul McCartney wrote this song about his wife Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998. McCartney never wavered in his love for Linda, and even made her part of his band so she could tour with him. "Maybe I'm Amazed" was written in 1969 just after The Beatles broke up. McCartney credits Linda with helping him get through this difficult time. The studio version of this song was never released as a single (no tracks on the album were), but it is one of the most enduring songs on McCartney's first solo album. A concert version was released as a single in 1977 to promote the Wings Over America live album. Credited to Paul McCartney & Wings, it went to #10 in the US in April 1977. Peace out.

[@cswhite33]

It's my understanding that after the break up of the Beatles Paul went into a deep depression. His wife Linda helped him overcome it and inspired him to write again. This song was a big thank you for being with me to Linda.

[@revaflowers3115]

Linda was his first wife and her daughter(Heather) is the little girl. The baby(Mary) is his first child with Linda and this album is his first work after the band broke up and he began his new life sans The Beatles. He did all the writing, composing and playing on this album. I think this was from their home on Mull in Scotland.I love this song,it is just so emotionally rewarding. BTW:Paul was 26 and Linda was 27 when they tied the knot. She died 25 years ago of cancer.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

Just wanted to add that they were married until her death (had just celebrated 30 years). I think sometimes when people see "first wife" they just assume there was a divorce, especially when it comes to celebrities. 😊

[@conwayfitzgerald]

At 6:56 you asked what he was going through. Imagine being as big as the Beatles - that's as famous as you can ever be. Yes this was a HUGE hit as was everything he did. But suddenly the Beatles broke up and he kind of lost his way. He wasn't really being on his game and his wife Linda just demanded he start writing again. He put this one out as well as some masterpieces of progressive rock. Do a reaction to Live and Let Die. He was asked to write and record a Bond theme. It's a masterpiece. Check it.

[@nancy9891]

This song is from his first solo album and it was amazing. Paul has been entertaining us for 60 years and is telling his truth about his wife Linda. It was a big song in the early 70s. When she passed away from cancer, we all felt his pain because their love was deeply expressed in this song and they went on the road together.

There's a live version of MAYBE I'M AMAZED that gets tons of airplay on all the classic rock stations. It's repeatedly and continually been high on all the best 100 lists of live rock recordings. Because it's from the middle of the concert, McCartney's singing and piano playing are fully charged and raw. And Wings - fantastic! Jimmy McCulloch's lead guitar absolutely wails. Also very raw. And unlike the album version, it does not fade out, but instead culminates in one of Paul's best song endings. I believe it's from the live WINGS OVER AMERICA album. Must hear, my man!

Paul was recovering from the breakup of the Beatles. He was only 28 or 29. He and his wife Linda had bought a remote farm on the coast in Scotland. He built a studio and started composing again, mostly on his own, but brought in other musician friends to jam with. One of my favorites from this time is "Mull of Kintyre" (the peninsula they lived on). He brought in a local bagpipe band. It's beautiful, and chokes me up every time. The Scots love it so much it became an unofficial national anthem, and they still play it at football games, and all sing along.

[@chrisgilbert9076]

Linda McCartney (his first wife) was an acclaimed photographer who travelled extensively with the Beatles in the later years and collaborated with Paul on his band "Wings" in the 1970's. I would think that all of the wonderful photos of Paul and Stella (their daughter, who grew up to become successful fashion designer) were hers. I'm surprised at how many good ones there are of her as well. Paul must've been okay behind the lens himself. One of my favourite of Paul's solo works. Incredible that he played it ALL himself.

He loved her so much. He made her a part of Wings so they toured for years. This album was between his Beatles phase and his Wings phase.

Paul wrote this while the Beatles were breaking up. He was devastated and Linda helped bring him out of it. He included it on his first post-Beatles album, but he didn't release it as a single. For a long time it was considered a hidden gem in his catalog. When Wings (his next band) got huge, they released a live album (Wings Over America), they released a live version of Maybe I'm Amazed as a single, that got into the top 10. This version is all Paul...all instruments (Linda sang some backing vocals). Regarding his post Beatles career, he had tons of hits, both solo and with Wings.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Paul wrote this incredibly beautiful song for his wife Linda in 1969 after the Beatles broke up. He was having a hard time dealing with it and Linda is credited for helping him. His band WINGS was absolutely amazing. Wife Linda was a part of that band - "Band on the Run", "Jet", "Silly Love Songs", "My Love" and the classic from the James Bond Theme - "Live & Let Die". Paul has been a prolific writer since leaving the Beatles and has worked with so many artists, including Michael Jackson - "Say, Say, Say" and "Ebony & Ivory". So many songs to dig into outside of the Beatles. The genius of every member of the Beatles is undeniable. Ringo, John, Paul and George all had successful solo careers with major hits but also albums that were simply crazy good. Together they made so many incredible albums & wrote so many songs in a short 10 year period. On their own they had decades of solo efforts that is head scratching. RIP John & George. Gone too soon.

[@beckygrant2258]

Paul is still creating new music at 82 yrs old, and still performing. Very versatile composer. He can play multiple instruments and played every instrument on this song. He has created music for movies. He has created classical symphonies. Love ballads, rock, blues, Prog rock, metal music, the list of genres goes on and on. He was the driving force of the Beatles. Ringo once said, if it wasn’t for Paul, the Beatles would have made 3 albums instead of 14, plus compilation records. The guy loves to create. Paul would call the others up and suggest they get into the studio and create songs! Oh, okay. This was a huge hit. One of his best songs. Paul also paints. And he created the Liverpool Oratorio School of Performing Arts. The Queen of England came to the opening. The first rock and roll billionaire. He’s done so many things and he has a lot of charities, too. His daughter, Stella is the infamous Fashion Designer, who designs for people who can afford her clothing. Watch the Oscars…some are wearing her clothes. His son, James, also plays guitar and has a band….as do all the Beatle’s kids.

[@sumonjamal1653]

The Beatles were a phenomenon from 1963 until their breakup in 1970... but they never truly got their dues financially... and because their equipment was limited in the 60's, most people never got to experience them live (They played stadiums in 1966 but no one could hear them) Paul McCartney did not have the phenomenal record sales that The Beatles had, but he launched his solo career in the early 70's and built his career from the ground up without cashing in on his Beatles fame... He scored a string of gold and platinum selling records in the 70's, 80's and 90's and played arenas and stadiums since the mid-70's (His band Wings dominated the 70's) Because the sound equipment had vastly improved since the 60's, Paul McCartney got to play for millions of fans live and they could hear him and his band live. Paul McCartney did work w/ Michael Jackson and he sang on his track 'The girl is mine'... and MJ sang on his song - 'Say say say' in the 80's (Their friendship ended after MJ outbid McCartney for the rights to the Beatles catalog) That was how Paul McCartney became a legend and up there as a solo artist w/ The Rolling Stones... he just had hit records decade after decade and his audience multiplied through the years and now, he draws massive crowds at his concerts and still makes records. "Maybe I'm amazed" was for his (now late) wife Linda McCartney... After The Beatles broke up in 1970, Paul McCartney sued the members to terminate their partnership (McCartney did not trust manager Allen Klein, who managed the other 3 Beatles)... While the case was in court, McCartney's assets were frozen and he was broke... he and wife Linda had 2 kids to support and Paul went into a depression for months, while Linda had to care for the family. Linda could have left him but she loved Paul and knew that he could be a great singer again... After their daughter Stella was born (her third, his second child), Paul started to be inspired again and formed the band Wings... and he asked Linda to join the band so that they could be together on tour as a family... Linda could barely play keyboards or sing but she joined Wings to support Paul and they never spent time apart... Linda always went on tour w/ Paul. It was devastating for them both when Linda was diagnosed w/ cancer in the 90's and she passed away in 1998... Paul still talks about Linda McCartney to this day... All his love songs were dedicated to her.

This was from the first album that Paul put out right after The Beatles breakup. It was a dark moment of his life, he left the big city to live north of England, not knowing what to do after The Beatles. Paul had married Linda, who already had a daughter, which is what you see in the video. Paul was trying to find a new musical path, of "What do I do now?" phase. He went on to have a highly successful solo career and developed a huge library of solo music; very deep.

He went to live in Scotland

It was his first solo hit. Plus he plays every instrument himself on that whole album. By tracking each instrument in the studio.

Huge hit!!! Such a beautiful song! I so loved this album back in the 70's. I loved the picture of the kids in his jacket! This song reeks love!!

Paul is so good. He did some great music solo.

"How big did he go, solo?" Paul's post-Beatles career was amazing. Demoralised, blamed for breaking up the Beatles and battling against the worst the critics could throw at him, he founded Wings from basically nothing and made them a top act with a string of 5 consecutive #1 albums, many #1 or top-10 singles and gigantic US and world tours. By 1978 he'd released a single that outsold the Beatles' biggest hits and remains to this day the top-selling non-charity single of all time in the UK. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Wings beat Elton John's tally of 25 top-40 Billboard hits with 27, making them "the best-selling pop act of the 1970s". As nearly as anyone possibly could have done, he put the Beatles behind him and proved himself by changing gear and doing it all over again. An astonishing achievement.

[@tarafied7322]

This version is from Paul's first solo album and he played all the instruments. The live version is actually a little better and was the version that became a big hit.

[@williamwilson9371]

Sooooo many great hits from Paul McCartney and McCartney & Wings. I think you’ll enjoy this deep dive into his solo career.

[@danettebumgarner5701]

You need to check out "Band on the Run". another great song from Paul McCartney and Wings.

[@michaelhillmann3460]

I concur

[@bartonone2005]

You nailed it!! He was despondent over the breakup of The Beatles and his wife, at the time, stepped in to rescue him. That's what this song is about. This was the standout track of his first solo album. That chromatic run kills me every time!! Chuck

The Beatles (1965 tour) were my first concert. Paul was my favorite. Then in 2002 I saw him solo in ATL and he still had it. Played on stage literally the whole show - his band got a break but that's when he just sat at the piano or on a stool and played acoustic guitar. He switched instruments throughout the concert without batting an eye.

[@terrybridges9694]

Paul played all the instruments on that song too.

What a voice (McCartney). "Someone Like You", Daryl Hall.

[@jeanmyers1787]

Paul is still biggest songwriter in the world and richest. He’s 82 and I’m going to see him at 02 in London in December.
