On former Beatle Paul McCartney's 70th birthday, here are 40 memorable moments from his musical life.

"Get Back" is a prime example of the natural sunshine McCartney brought to the Beatles. "Get back home, Loretta!"

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner

Get back to where you once belonged

Get back to where you once belonged
Get back Jo

Get back to where you once belonged
 
Get back
