"And I Love Her" by The Beatles
Narrator
James Paul McCartney the baby-faced Beatle
An extremely handsome fellow, born the 18th of June, 1942
The 5' 11" McCartney has hazel eyes
Paul's home is an atypically suburban area of Liverpool
Allerton, where his father still works as a cotton salesman
His mother died when he was only 14 years of age
He often is heard to say, "She would have been so proud
To see our success, had she lived." He describеs his early years
As awkward, doing evеrything in reverse
And he was apparently very self-conscious of the fact that
He has always been left-handed. McCartney, along with Lennon
Writes all of the songs for the group, and together
They have turned out over 100 songs
Narrator
And of these more than one hundred tunes, many have
Become hits and all have been recorded in hit albums
When asked about the acclaim accorded the group
Through the number of their records which have been sold
Paul said: "No idea. George said the other day George Harrison
That is said it was about 30 million a year, or something
Which is fantastic." With this in mind, John, the other member
Of the songwriting team, candidly admits
"We make more money out of writing songs than we do out
Of appearing and running around waving and that, you know..."
Narrator
The sudden rise to fame by The Beatles is one of the things
That Paul has thought a great deal about. "You know," he said
"we were talking about this just the other day
When you're about eleven, you start to think about what's going
To happen to you. I've often thought about it. My plan was
To go on playing the clubs until I reached about 25 a ripe old age
And then go to John's art college and hang
On there for a couple of years. I never dreamt
About being discovered or anything like that
I always thought discovery was something you read about
" At present, McCartney and The Beatles are being read
About and studied. Paul realizes this, but he can't answer why
