Description
In this first of a groundbreaking multivolume set, The McCartney Legacy, Vol 1: 1969-73 captures the life of Paul McCartney in the years immediately following the dissolution of the Beatles, a period in which McCartney recreated himself as both a man and a musician. Informed by hundreds of interviews, extensive ground-up research, and thousands of never-before-seen documents, The McCartney Legacy, Vol 1 is an in-depth, revealing exploration of McCartneyβs creative and personal lives beyond the Beatles.
When Paul McCartney issued a press release in April 1970 announcing that the worldβs most beloved band, the Beatles, had broken up, no one could have predicted that McCartney himself would go on to have one of the most successful solo careers in music history. Yet in the years after the Fab Four disbanded, Paul McCartney became a legend in his own right.
Now journalist and world-renowned Beatles historian Allan Kozinn and award-winning documentarian Adrian Sinclair chronicle in technicolor McCartneyβs pivotal years from 1969 to 1973, as he recreated himself in the immediate aftermath of the Beatles breakup. During this period, newly married and with a growing family, he conquered depression and self-doubt, formed a new band, Wings, and recorded five epochal albums culminating in the triumphant smash, Band on the Run.
Part 1 of a multivolume set, The McCartney Legacy, Vol. 1 documents a pivotal moment in the life of a man whose legacy grows increasingly more relevant as his influence on music and pop culture remains as resonant as ever. It is the first truly comprehensive biography and the most finely detailed exploration of McCartneyβs creative life beyond the Beatles ever undertaken.

About the Author
Allan Kozinn was a music critic and culture reporter for the New York Times from 1977 to 2014, where he wrote principally about classical music. In that capacity, he interviewed Paul McCartney several times, and saw him perform in a great variety of configurations and venues - from singing with a hand mic at the Lonestar Roadhouse, playing rock oldies at the Cavern, in Liverpool, and performing in small halls like the Ed Sullivan Theater and the Highline Ballroom, to full-scale concerts at Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. He currently contributes regularly to the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and other publications. He has taught courses at the Juilliard School and New York University (including a course on the Beatles at the latter), and has written seven books, among them The Beatles - From The Cavern To The Rooftop (1995), Got That Something! How The Beatles' 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' Changed Everything (2013), The New York Times Essential Guide - Classical Music (2004). The principal researcher for the McCARTNEY LEGACY series, Adrian Sinclair studied film at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and served a traineeship with ITV in Yorkshire, England, where he learned his craft as a documentary film editor. He's worked for almost every major broadcaster in the world, including the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, National Geographic, Discovery and MTV. As well as receiving recognition for his work from the Royal Television Society in England, Adrian's 2010 documentary Stealing Shakespeare (BBC/Smithsonian) was Emmy shortlisted for Best Documentary.
