  <text>In tandem with [rovilink="P 99330"]John Lennon[/rovilink], musician [rovilink="P101966"]Paul McCartney[/rovilink] is responsible for composing most of the songs in the nine-year history of the [rovilink="P  4797"]Beatles[/rovilink]. While still a member of the group, McCartney wrote the score for the 1966 film [rovilink="V    90982"]The Family Way[/rovilink]; it would be his last solo gig until the [rovilink="P  4797"]Beatles[/rovilink]' breakup in 1970. So prolific and popular was McCartney in his post-Beatle years that it became a standard joke amongst post-postwar kids to query "You mean that [rovilink="P101966"]Paul McCartney[/rovilink] was in a band before Wings?" Also grist for the humor mill was McCartney's incredible wealth; his legal ownership of virtually every song ever written (including such state anthems as "On Wisconsin"); and the strict vegetarian edicts of his wife and business partner Linda Eastman McCartney. [rovilink="P101966"]Paul McCartney[/rovilink] has also kept active in the film world, penning the theme for the 1973 James Bond flick [rovilink="V    29707"]Live And Let Die[/rovilink], and producing, scoring and acting in the 1984 vanity project [rovilink="V    19892"]Give My Regards to Broad Street[/rovilink], in which viewers were offered the unlikely premise that McCartney would face bankruptcy if he didn't locate a lost record album.</text>
