Allan Kozinn and Adrian Sinclair chronicle in technicolor McCartney's pivotal years from 1969 to 1973, as he recreated himself in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles breakup.
What The Reviewers Say
A devoted document dump, assembled from diaries, court papers and reporting fresh and reconstituted.
So just what does this first volume of The McCartney Legacy give us that we don’t already have? Well, if you just so happen to be looking for an exhaustive survey of the singer’s post-Beatles career (both solo and with his band Wings), you’ve come to the right place.
And while the subject himself declined to speak with the pair...he gave implied permission for others to speak with the authors. That resulted in scores of fresh interviews for the book, and the authors drew on their own archive of tens of thousands of McCartney’s print, audio, and video interviews. They also had access to or uncovered thousands of never-before-seen documents.
Kozinn and Sinclair, a film documentarian, expertly chronicle the life and music of Paul McCartney beyond the Beatles.
