Lennon wrote the words and McCartney wrote the music… This songwriting team created most of the Beatles 20 #1 records Lennon McCartney

Beatlemania was the biggest teen craze yet. Teens mobbed airports wore Beatle wigs and bought millions of records!

In 1969 a rumor was started that… Paul was DEAD! Fans found clues on album covers and in the words of the songs

Let It Be

All of these clues (there are many more) and the fact that no Beatle was seen very often (no public performances since 1967) fueled speculation about Pauls death. Every major newspaper and magazine talked about it!
