Paul McCartney is surprised people still want to hear Beatles stories, and suggests this street player  how to impersonate him   

McCartney has one of the most distinct voices in entertainment. Many can recognize his singing voice, along with his normal speaking voice. It’s easy enough to impersonate, but it’s hard to get perfect. In an interview with the Smartless podcast, McCartney explained what many of his impersonators get wrong.

 

“I don’t think they quite get it,” McCartney said. “Americans have got this sort of ‘Oh, hello, it’s Paul. Hey, how you doing?’…Generally, it’s not quite…My voice has changed.   I look at old interviews with The Beatles, and it was much more Liverpool. But now I’ve lived out of Liverpool much more than I have lived in Liverpool. So, your voice changes.”

 

Even though many people can’t get it right, McCartney said he isn’t annoyed by how many people have performed impressions of him over the years. “It’s not annoying because they’re talking about me, so that’s ok,” McCartney stated.

Actually I'm doing some more recording. I've recorded with a couple of people, so I'm looking forward to more. I started working with this producer called Andrew Watt and he's very interesting, we had some fun. Other than that, I don't have anything major planned… at the moment."

Paul McCartney Reveals 'There Are ‘Dozens'of lost Beatles songs' due the absence of portable recording devices during the band’s heyday meant that songs he co-wrote with John Lennon were frequently forgotten the morning after.

“John and I didn’t have them when we first started writing, we would write a song and just have to remember it,” McCartney says. “And there was always the risk that we’d just forget it. If the next morning you couldn’t remember, it was gone. There must have been dozens lost this way.”

Things have changed quite a bit. You’ve got recording devices now which change the songwriting process. For instance, John and I didn’t have them when we first started writing, we would write a song and just have to remember it. And there was always the risk that we’d just forget it. If the next morning you couldn’t remember it – it was gone. There must have been dozens lost this way.” (VMZ)
