![]() ![]() It all came out of this idea of three chords.It seems unlikely that any of the songs on McCartney III will stand as significant additions to Sir Paul ’s songwriting legacy. From that we got ‘Love Me Do’, like the first two or three chords job. The very first songs that John I wrote we sag off school and go to my house sit down with guitars (Imitate Buddy Holly). That was the big occasion to watch his fingers to see what guitar he had, to see if he played the chords right, how he did that solo in ‘Peggy Sue'”. I remember a sunday night at the Paladium, they used to have a big variety show and Buddy was on that once. But suddenly, the singer appeared (with the glasses) and we were getting ready to start The Beatles. “It always seemed that anyone who wore glasses couldn’t make it as a singer, or at least they would have to take the glasses off and have contacts in, or something. Then Buddy came along and he is a fella with glasses and you never seen anyone with glasses.” Paul McCartney continued: They’re really good looking fellas, you know. You were looking at all the stars like Elvis and in England, Cliff Richard and stuff. In an interview for the BBC film “ The Real Buddy Holly Story” back in 1985 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage), McCartney also praised the musician, saying: “I’ve always loved Buddy’s music, he’s been a big influence on me. So Buddy was a big influence,” McCartney told Charlie Rose. “So when Buddy Holly came along he was able to sort of wear them proudly. So it made it very difficult to sort of lead him on stage, it was like ‘which way are they?’, McCartney imitated Lennon. John had these big thick horn glasses but he always had to take them off if girls were around. Buddy Holly allowed John to wear glasses. I remember being at school when this record came out.“ Buddy Holly The meeting between Elvis and The Beatles members happened in 1965 in Los Angeles but no photos were taken.Įlvis’ ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was one of the songs that Paul McCartney said in an interview with BBC Radio in 1984 that he would like to take to a desert island: “It takes me back to when I was first buying records. Because this was pre his Las Vegas and the rhinestone suit, this was just sort of Beverly Hills. “I have met Elvis Presley, who was darn cool. In a conversation with The Adam Buxton Podcast in 2019, Paul McCartney said that Elvis Presley was the second coolest person he ever met in his life, losing only to his wife, Nancy. When we went into the army it all got sort of ‘Yes sir, sir, sir, okay sir’ and the songs went downhill, sort of ‘Hard Headed Woman’ stuff, the trombone solo, sorry love,” McCartney told Charlie Rose. “He was heck of a voice, I was a major, major fan. He looked great, he just looked great, whenever you saw photos of him it was like ‘Who’s that?’ I think he was like one of the world’s greatest vocalists.” I think all of us (In the Beatles) went off (Started to dislike what he did) Elvis after he joined the army because he was so magical before the army. “ Elvis, I think it was the biggest influence. Two bands that opened Little Richard concerts in the beginning of their careers were The Beatles and Rolling Stones, in the early 60s. So I kind like in the movies, stood on the desk and did ‘Long Tall Sally’.” I remember the last day at school you were allowed to bring your guitar. We were kids and it was such an influence. It’s all from Gospel, it was just amazing. “I dind’t know that, so to me the first wild high voice I ever heard was Little Richard. You know, I talk to Keith and I say ‘It’s that early Chuck Berry?’ and he say ‘No, it’s from where Chuck got from'”. I didn’t know the history of the Blues like someone Keith (Richards), you (Ron Wood). (It was) one of those voices you couldn’t believe. In an interview with The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood in 2013 (Transcribed by Rock and Roll Garage) McCartney praised Little Richard and recalled that he played one of the American musician hits in front of his colleagues in school: “(I’m) a big fan. We will get him a tape”, Paul McCartney told Charlie Rose. I doubt he is going to be watching this show. McCartney continued saying: “That’s true Richard, you did. The Beatle then imitates Little Richard’s voice, saying that he always says ‘I taught you that Paul, woo woo, oh come on Paul you know I did!”. “Little Richard was a big influence on me because I do a lot a sort of screamy thing that is directly base on what he does.” McCartney looks at the camera and says “Yes, Richard if you’re watching I admit it all”. 3 musicians that Paul McCartney said that inspired him the most Little Richard In 1988 he was inducted as a Beatles member and in 1999 as a solo musician. Paul McCartney is one of the best-selling musicians of all time and also one of the few artists that were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame twice.
