McCartney will endure as a songwriter first. And at his best he had one hell of a voice.

"McCartney will endure as a songwriter first. And at his best he had one hell of a voice."

McCartney had a very versatile voice; he could do "Michelle," but also do the high-pitched, Little Richard "Whoo!!" with perfection. He could also rock - "Long Tall Sally" - and do the upper-scale harmonies which separate the average band from the superstars. He was also very good at coming up with relatively complex melodies. But I never liked his solo stuff.
