I met Paul and Linda when i did some work for them, on their farm in East Sussex. When we drove onto the site, we could see a big house on the hill. I got my Binoculars and had a look. Only to see Paul with a pair of Binoculars watching me watching him. They came along on their horses later for a chat. Two of the nicest people I've ever worked for.
My son is an NYPD officer & he was assigned to shadow Paul when he played Citifield. My son said Paul was very nice. My son was in his 20s at the time & wasn't familiar with Wings & McCartney at all, Paul asked my son what kind of music does he like. R&B. Paul & Nance came together & My son was with them until they left. Paul thanked him shook his hand & told him "I felt very safe all day. Thank you." no pictures, autographs allowed.
I've never seen an interview with Linda.... she was very down to earth and sweet..... now I know why Paul loved her so much.... so sad she left us so soon.....
honey owen Linda wasn't there to promote herself, she answered honestly the questions asked of her, what more did you expect 😳 ? she wasn't a mindless bimbo or arm candy, they met as equals which is why it lasted until sadly she died...
Me too and ive always thought she looked silly in the band because she moved sort of awkwardly. Didn't even see her as attractive. I see now shes not a performer. She's an observer like any other serious photographer or painter etc. Very still calm and steady. And super hot as herself and not her stage persona.
I appreciate her more and more as I get older. When we were young all of us seemed to blame Linda and Yoko for the split. But it’s not and never has been true. Linda was a fascinating woman. RIP Beautiful (Lovely) Linda
I remember back in that week she passed 3 days before her final day on this earth Linda and Paul attended her daughter's fashion show Linda was beyond pŕoud and beyond HAPPY and looked so healthy then she was gone 3 days later I just couldn't believe it one min so beautiful and so healthy and happy looking going to her daughter's fashion show which was a big success then she was gone in 3 days I'll never forget that and I thought how is this man going to live without her! I TRULY felt so sad for him!
it happens if you're an ear oriented person. when my boyfriend and I were in london for 3 days, it just naturally started taking hold in both of us without being aware!
@@audrasitarek9113 ... wouldn't say luck... fate is the better word.... she was a good human being and cross paths with a famous individual who had the same interests and goals in life. They made a great pair... very few people are lucky to find their compatible other... so it was fate
She always claimed not to be ambitious. I think that was a line to disarm people. As a New Yorker and daughter of a lawyer, that's two of the pushiest types of people you can get.
@@yoya4766 Linda was for sure very ambitious. She was a hippy chick free spirit who grew up with great privilege. She acted disinterested in Paul & that made her different than the other women Paul was around. Instant interest & brilliant strategy. She seemed pretty nice but I know people who knew her back in the day & said she was crass, pushy. She made Paul happy. She never had second thoughts about marrying Paul. She told Marty Balin she was going to snag Paul.
Ambitious and manipulative. She played Paul's insecurities. In most interviews she said she preferred John Lennon, or talked about other celeb men, even when Paul was there. Strategy which was also crass and disrespectful. He meanwhile never talked about anyone else, sang her praises and always rejected the many (many) advances women made on him. I disliked the manipulative way she presented herself as some big prize, with that dopey non chalant vibe. Economical with the truth, she led people to believe she was from the Kodak Eastman family, when in truth they were very middle of the road. Jane Asher was cultured, sophisticated and intelligent. Linda was more like an extra on the Waltons. Only Paul can say if he was happy, PR is never the whole story.
@@yoya4766 Linda lived at 140 E 83 st apartment 10D & my building is directly behind hers. I live on E 84th st. Linda kept that small apartment for many years but its now combined into 1 large apartment from 3 smaller ones. Its on the market now. There are people living there who have been there over 50 yrs & there when Linda & Heather were there. Manhattan is relatively small. A real estate agent gave me this info & after some research I found it to be true. Linda also received cancer treatment at the hospital where I worked.
She caught alot of flak in the beginning but under Paul's guidance she became a fine singer and a definite asset to the band. Her voice blended so well with Paul's and I very much enjoy the music they made together.
@@semi5alpha Don’t think he was thinking gold digger stuff as he foolishly believes in doing it the old fashioned way of which is ridiculous considering he’s worth all that money. He wasn’t playing smart by not having a pre nup. He got lucky w/Linda but had to pay out w/Heather Mills.
I can never understand why stuff like this happens to such good, kind people. She lived a healthy lifestyle and look what happened, while others who are NOT so good and do NOT live a healthy lifestyle live into their 90s. There is very little justice in this world. I think it's a testament to Linda and to their marriage that Paul keeps trying to recapture what the two of them had. Heather Mills was a horrible choice and I felt it from the beginning, but loneliness makes a terrible companion. She was nothing but a gold-digger. I think he's done much better this time around with Nancy Shevell, but Linda's shoes are impossible to fill.
Without doubt one of the most genuine loving relationship ever seen in the "showbusiness" world. Linda was never the most musically gifted person but she was what she was and the love shared between her and Paul was clear for all to see. Most of us could only dream of and aspire to that. But for me, My Love sums it all up in one of the most beautifull. relevant and heartfelt songs ever written.
I grew up in the 80’s and since I was a kid I’ve always liked her. She was a very deep person and real. She was so genuine, and that’s what won so many people hearts. RIP Linda, love you ❤️
@Jane Doe yeah, well us americans hate it when the english send over actors like hugh laurie & he does a better american accent than we do, & even has a great tv hit while doing so. i'm contacting president trump to urge him to put tariffs on english actors......ok, just kidding ;)
I’d forgotten how incredibly beautiful and sweet/funny she was. Linda was the love of Paul McCartney’s life❤️ there was and is no other woman that will ever be to Paul who & what Linda was to him.
I love Linda McCartney I think she's a very down-to-earth or was a down-to-earth person great mother great wife and great partner in music with Paul McCartney may she rest in peace
Linda looks absolutely lovely here! Her makeup is perfect and it shows off a pretty jawline, and emphasizes her "bedroom eyes". Most women benefit from makeup, and wear it daily. Paul didn't seem to mind whether Linda wore it or not. He loved her for her🤗
Linda was a great thinker; compassionate; realistic and a person who you could trust 24-7. If you fell in love with her, then your life would have been completed, because you'd feel nothing like before when she spoke one word and looked directly into your eyes.
@@yoya4766 A patient listener understands integrity. The insecure interviewer shouldn't cheapen the brilliance of Linda's foundational kindness, musicianship, and insight of Life.
@@yoya4766 exactly what a bunch of weirdos commenting here act like they know these people and there some kind of magic people Jeezus get a life there just human beings like the rest of us there lucky and hard working dedicated ambitious and somewhat talented thru practise not freaking God's damn
Well, I appreciate her contribution more and more as I age, I understand why Paul wanted her in the group, he did not want to be away from her.. on the other hand, I do feel as though she cost Paul some real hits, some of her earlier harmonies, you have to ignore her intonation issues to enjoy Paul's 70's music.... I really think her singing is much more controversial than people want to admit, and her voice frankly is one of the reasons McCartney's material was the subject of derision in the 70s.. Fair or not.. regardless, Rest in Peace, Linda, you were an outstanding photographer and wonderful wife to Paul
I recall hearing a story that Paul could be abusive, apparently, could be extremely verbally critical of her musicianship, if so, why didn't he tell her to stop singing, period and take the pressure off... McCartney's material would have sounded so much better had he and Lane just handled the vocal duties together minus Linda (Solely overdubbing Lane and McCartney's vocals to create all of Wings' harmonies would have made Wings a much prettier sound)..... when Linda had not even been the slightest bit competent nor had a smidgen of diaphragmatic support to support what she was attempting to do vocally...half of Paul's issues with the critics in the 70's were related to Linda and her weak singing voice and everyone knew it.... Elephant in the room kind of stuff.... Interestingly, astonishingly and quite conversely, Linda's and Paul's son, James can blow his bloody a** off, so go figure.... She did not practice her voice enough, it's simple enough and I would imagine her son knew it too... This is not to gang up on Linda, or sound like Simon Cowell... we're talking about Paul McCartney here, one of the greatest vocalists of all time... it's just that his wife could not carry a tune... ultimately, the responsibility fell on Paul for quality control during this era and he couldn't have given a sh**... and unfortunately, he lost John's input, who gave him that quality control...
The real shame here is that these unfortunate individuals will remain 100% oblivious under the 100% intentional false idol spells that have been cast upon them no matter what you or anyone else may ever try to show or tell them. They will never know as long as they live that these 100% made up from scratch, 100% controlled char-actor puppets are all exactly the same. Pumped out and delivered directly to the unwitting masses from the exact same psychotic up side down factory assembly line of nothing but LIES+DECEPTIONS. FYI: The fake, made up and controlled char-actor puppet called Linda McCartney did not die "HE" simply changed his costume and became the fake manufactured char-actor puppet Princess Diana that also did not die! The fake, controlled, manufactured Paul McCartney is a 100% woman that also portrayed Obama's mother and others. The fake John Lennon is the exact same Billion Gates char-actor puppet amongst so many others that "SHE" portrays! Such as; Michael Moore wearing a fatsuit and latex face. "Hyper Flesh", Woody Allen, Peter Sellers, the list goes on with that woman. Of course the fake char-actor puppet John Lennon also did not die! If one can not see that HUGE Adam's Apple in so called Linda McCartney's extremely long neck or understand what hormones do to a human being, well then, maybe it's time to grab a new set of stroger readers from Walgreens and try again! That is a 100% LYING MAN! Yes, it is worse than you think. It is worse than you can ever imagine!
@@Potaville I believe in lies & deception but what is the purpose of it-are you referring to them being killed off & they are clones or reptilians replicated for money, power & control. And why did you say Man as in Linda being a Man & if so, what is the purpose of that? And John & Paul being Woman; for what purpose? Never understood how “they” made them stars when a person does need to have talent. Stars can’t be just made out of everybody. But idolizing money making people is stupid as you end up contributing to their portfolio instead of being concerned about your own financial independence. It’s childish to be star struck. We, universally in general, put too much emphasis on entertainers putting them on pedestals. Alot of wanna bees out there. I suppose some did sell their souls for the fame & fortune but all of them couldn’t have succumbed to that but most do seem to be a different breed of people. True that I don’t believe they ALL died-if anyone can participate in faking their own death it would be somebody with money, not an ordinary common Man. But again, what purpose does all of that really serve? They were forced to go into exile or desired to go into exile is the only thing I can think of.
I've been a Beatles fan since i was about 13. I'm 35 now and today is the first time i've actually heard Linda's speaking voice. I've grown up listening to her singing with Paul, but never actually heard her talk until now. Not what i expected at all.
Linda McCartney, a 1st class lady,she was down to earth and she was a woman who brought out the best in her husband. She was humble and a true humanitarian. Paul and Linda had a love that was stronger than words could ever express. They will always be soul mates 🎉🎉. Paul is lost without him other half. They were a power couple as well,they navigated family, marriage, their band ,and they just perfectly complimented each other 🎉🎉RIP,Linda ❤❤
I doubt Paul will ever love someone as much as he loved Linda. They were soul mates it’s just her time was much sooner than his but they’ll one day be together again! Almost 30 years together! 💜
This is the first time I really got to view Linda McCartney with her telling her things about her life she did seem like a very down-to-earth and nice person so sad she lost her life so young. I WM
Linda was such a wonderful,down-to-earth lady. Never "showy",just a natural beauty inside and out. Wish she was still gracing the world with her presence. RIP,Lovely Linda. 💙
Seems Linda never gets the recognition she deserves as a synth player. I'll always remember her for synthing the violin section & for her backing vocals during Paul's live, Rockshow version of Silly Love Songs. Seattle's Hippodrome, June 1976. Absolutely wonderful 💙💜💙💜 !
The best quote from here is that she thought that everything John Lennon had been through had taken a toll on him. He was shy, sensitive. That’s the one thing the biographers never talk about, but should. The toll it took on him, being a Beatle. I think it drove him crazy. She met Lennon during a very crazy time of transformation.
@@donnawoodford6641 Paul appears to have found love and happiness with Nancy but I think the love he had for Linda was probably the deepest he ever known.
I can totally understand why Paul loved her. Smart, articulate, kind, compassionate, I could go on. It's a shame she died still young. Who knows what might happen if she lived.
@@jamesguy1030 Jane Asher was the girlfriend of Paul McCartney, and he didn't break up with her, they were engaged. He died in 1966. Linda was married to Billy Shears who replaced Paul so the Beatles could stay as a group. Just look at St. Peppers cover, Abbey road cover. Heather knows the truth about Billy, and is sworn to secrecy. Olivia Harrison is on tape along with all the Beatles at a reunion where they all greet him as "Hello Billy." This has been a huge cover up for years.
Kali Yuga you realize they got engaged on December 1967? Jane and Paul broke up because they got engaged and then Paul ended up cheating on her. Jane caught Paul and someone in bed
Linda was a rockstar in her own right. Her photography is a window into another world that I could never be a part of, and she seemed to have such a way of getting her subjects to relax and trust her.
What a sensational interview with Linda McCartney. I would love to see a book of her photographs. She takes great pictures! I can't believe she photographed rock stars. Interesting in how she met Paul. And that she didn't want to marry him.
She was adorable! Imagine the people she's met.... married to Paul McCartney.... has more money than she could ever use.... fame.... and yet, she seems like such a cool person you could just hang with who wouldn't consider herself 'better' than you.... love her..... sad she left us so soon.
7:35 Linda briefly mentioned meeting Jazz singer Georgie Fame, my claim to fame was that he was a next door neighbour to my God Mother (RIP) when Georgie lived in Chiswick, West London. Anyway Georgie Fame once came to our home with my God Mother in the very early 70's.
We love Linda McCartney... She Always Had A Strong Mind ..With An In-Built Sacred Heart 💖. ... A Woman Behind Her Man / Husband Sir Paul McCartney. Linda McCartney's Spirit Still Is The Epitome Within The Hearts Here In Liverpool..To Eternity. God Bless You Paul, Ringo Starr and THE FAB FOUR ! FOREVER..YNWA X
Linda was a truly remarkable yet ordinary woman - she's left us all with great food to make vegetarian life easier, and was not lost in the glamour of the rock world at all - or rather, the craziness of it all! She could always see the individuals and cared about people. She got really bad press when she joined Wings, but she supported Paul and raised her children to be individuals. What a loss!
I was named for a song that was written for a little toddler named Linda Eastman, who later became the wife of Paul McCartney. "Linda" was written by Jack Lawrence and first performed by the Ray Noble Orchestra. While in the service during World War II, Lawrence wrote the song for Linda Eastman (1941-1998), the young daughter of his attorney, Lee Eastman. Over the years, the original “Linda” song was performed by many artists, including Jan and Dean, who introduced a rock version in 1963. “My” version, however, was the early one sung by Buddy Clark with Anita Gordon playing the part of Linda, who says, among other things, “Fresh! I don’t talk to strangers.” My young parents bought the record, played it for me on their phonograph, often singing along. As a toddler, I had “my song” memorized: “When I go to sleep, I never count sheep, I count all the charms about Linda. And lately, it seems, in all of my dreams, I walk with my arms around Linda...” Because of that song, the name Linda became hugely popular for American girls born in the late 40's and early 50's. And that is my connection to Linda McCartney.
