Sir James Paul McCartney is 74 today.

Paul McCartney met John Lennon on his school bus as a child and 
later joined Lennon‘s skiffle group The Quarrymen when he was
fifteen. The band played a combination of jazz, blues, and folk
music. After George Harrison joined the band, they changed their
name to The Beatles.
