He returned to the White House later that year as a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. In 2010, he was honoured by President Barack Obama with the Gershwin Prize for his contributions to popular music. In 1990, the minor planet 4148 was named "McCartney" in his honour. He bought John Lennon's former school, Quarry Bank, which he then turned into a performing arts school. McCartney was knighted for his contributions to music and to British culture, and for his charity work. He co-wrote new songs with Elvis Costello, and began touring more often than he had in years.Īlong with popular music, McCartney also began composing classical music, including an oratorio about Liverpool. He had to work hard to prove his talent was still strong.

The theme song from the movie, "No More Lonely Nights", was also a hit, but the movie did poorly, and McCartney's popularity suffered. McCartney had other hit songs, and also wrote and starred in the movie, Give My Regards to Broad Street, with Linda.
He and Jackson became friends, but this ended after Jackson outbid McCartney for ownership of the publishing company which owned most of the Beatles's music. A song with Jackson called "The Man" was released on McCartney's fifth solo album Pipes of Peace. Later McCartney recorded a single called "Ebony and Ivory" with Stevie Wonder, then "The Girl is Mine" and "Say, Say, Say" with Michael Jackson. McCartney wrote "Live and Let Die", which became the theme song to a James Bond film with the same title. Wings also had many hit records, including "Band On The Run" and "Mull Of Kintyre". Since the Beatles had stopped working together in 1971, McCartney started a new band called Wings with his wife Linda. Each counted on the other to help make their songs better, so they agreed to share the credit equally. In fact, most Lennon/McCartney songs were written by only one of them, or with one adding only small parts to the other's work. Often, Beatles songs would have "Lennon/McCartney" written on the record, and it would look like that they had written it together. Other songs written by McCartney for The Beatles include "Can't Buy Me Love", "Hey Jude", "Penny Lane", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Let It Be". Since then around 2000 artists have recorded the song. His most famous song is "Yesterday", recorded by the Beatles in 1965. McCartney began writing songs before he was sixteen, and has written well over two hundred.
