The fact he told the same story for almost 4 decades consistently and not to mention tells it in the most respectable way possible, shows you the integrity that Paul has
@@PhonyPhoniPhoné He’s no fake. How ignorant to think he isn’t the real Paul McCartney, and I suppose the other guy writing and singing the song is Not the real Michael Jackson! Lol😂 Like Paul McCartney always had a twin same age, same Left handed playing bass, along with Paul’s Father (and close relatives) still alive after 1966 not recognizing his own son and memories with him..Not to mention a fake Paul being Super talented with much more hits after 1966. That’s Crazy!! to think the fake Paul crap.
@@sleepyyaka_gaby it wasn’t nonsense when they were putting subliminal messages in their album artwork. Tell Paul to blame himself and his band mates for stoking the suspicions
The fact that he had the chance to buy them, and he didn't because they were Lennon-McCartney songs and not just McCartney songs just says a lot about how great the man is
Buy first, figure out how to tidy it up afterwards. Yet another example of how altruism paralyzes the mind because it's not reality-based. It's a Santa Claus morality and it's not possible to be logical with it because it isn't real. What's 2 plus 2? In Santa-world it can be 10 because he's got elves and flying reindeer.
Nope only 20 years, MJ more then 40 years that hurt Miss Paula to. MJ whas way better then the high in his head Paula. MJ stays hiss hole live humble. Miss Paula was never humble. The was one Beatle how was humble and much better then Paula, John Lennon is still great, sad that the shut the wrong men. I miss him nice and humble guy. And write more good and better songs then Paula. Greetings.
I think this was Michael’s twisted way of manipulating Paul and saying “I’m better than you Paul”. He wouldn’t budge or even talk with Paul one on one. Michael was made it something personal.
A real jealous human being. What was Michael supposed to do hold Paul's hand ? The master taught the student ENOUGH TO DO WITHOUT HIM ! read the 48 laws.
I love his point about not wanting to commercialize their songs. If you hear it 100 times on a commercial, eventually you’re gonna get tired of it. Even if it is a classic, timeless song. Paul truly is one of the greatest musicians to ever walk the planet!
That's what happened with Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours'. There are people who hate it for that exact reason, despite it being one of the best albums ever...
I don't know I have discovered many great songs through Commercials . Also a lot of TV shows used to play some really great songs I'd never heard of at the end of the episode to match the tone of the episode or what a character was experiencing . The song at the end of the final episode of breaking bad is one perfect example or that song at the end of the sopranos
@@Minceontoast2 Nope, sorry (many chances?). Do your research. I know it "hurts" many of you MJ fans, but MJ was wrong to buy the catalog. He KNEW, "HIS FRIEND" Paul wanted to buy HIS OWN SONGS BACK (after he was cheated out them). Interesting you say "the catalog" like Paul had nothing to do with creating it. However, THERE WOULD BE NO CATALOG IF PAUL HAD NOT CREATED IT. These are NOT "just songs". These are song HE WROTE, HE CREATED. He had every right to want them back, they came from HIS MIND. MJ was selfish in his actions here BECAUSE he knew Paul wanted to buy HIS OWN songs back. BE HONEST, if it were the other way around you would be on Paul's case, saying he should let MJ buy his songs HIMSELF, songs HE CREATED, others would mostly like accuse Paul of racism. IF you seek the truth, Get the FULL STORY first, not some made up nonsense "somebody" posted on the internet
I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I didn't catch any sarcasm either. Seems to have hurt him though. I'd feel a little used and betrayed but as an adult and a Sir. with class, you put things in their place and move on. I respect that.
@jimi hendrix Paul was so flattered when Jimi played some Sgt. Peppers, literally just a few days after its release at his show. Too bad Clapton didn’t tune his guitar for him-obviously a joke, but some thought it was real.
i mean, id argue the 1770's were a pretty exceptional decade for music.or the 1810s. or the majority of the great decades for classic/barouque/ragtime/jazz music pre 1950. for rock music though? sure
Paul is telling these stories in an honorable way you see. He is being classy about it, and you can tell even though he is not at all happy about what Michael has done, he still likes him. Legend.
Why is McCartney complaining about it? Why didn't he buy his own songs?... None of this would have happened, had he bought the BEATLES Catalogue. Jackson just saw the opportunity and grabbed it!... and on top of that, he warned him, "I'm gonna get your songs"...
@@DPPLOWD Is this the only time you have ever heard Paul talk? I am a big John Lennon fan and it is clear to me that he thinks of John as a best friend/brother.
The fact that he had the chance to buy them, and he didn't because they were Lennon-McCartney songs and not just McCartney songs just says a lot about how great the man is
Either that or it's an excuse for a huge mistake he made. He could've bought the catalog and said that he was the only person to make that decision, and that John would've wanted it that way. Nobody would've blamed him for it since otherwise their music would've gone to MJ. He did the right thing and asked Yoko; when she misjudged the situation he should've acted it on his own. 50 million is a lot of money but it wasn't too difficult to see that the value would go up in time.
@Basement Network Because in retrospect a few generations later, the commercial use is more blatant than even Paul expected. He's not threatening to sue or calling anyone a bad name....he's complaining about it when asked how it went down and how he feels.
@@TheArmchairPriest he's involved in legal actions to acquire rights and again that zen horseshit is easy to say from a mansion and divide what? he and jackson weren't fishing-buddies. And this is more about keeping control of his creations more than the money and the inherent right for the creator to make money off of the art before some outside profiteer
@@shaunpearson7905 untrue considering paul didnt want to profit off the songs, that was his initial argument with jackson. The songs are art and should never be used for advertisements or for personal gain. Its for rock and roll. Idk about any mansion or zen shit youre talking about but what I said was right regardless of your argument. Hes done enough acid and prayer to know theres more to life especially in art
I thought there was a bit of sour grapes here on Paul’s part! He sounds quite understandably cheesed off but the truth is that he missed several opportunities to secure the rights, the last time being when he and Ono undervalued them significantly. You can’t blame it on MJ, he wasn’t the richest person around by any means.
I agree. This was the same with Prince . Its why he changed his name for awhile to the symbol. Its why he fought for artist rights and started Paisley Park records and eventuallly got his masters back before he died.
McCartney was so naive. He was just a working class guy who didn’t knew anything about the music business. But that’s why he’s so strong. He knew how to deal with everything. This man deserves a lot of respect.
Plenty of musicians back then got screwed over in similar ways. It was really the first time massive money was coming in for pop/rock stars on a world stage. Everyone was naive
@@KatieCannotFly McCartney and Harrison were working class. They came from poor families and grew up on council estates. Lennon was middle class - and he used to get annoyed when people assumed he grew up poor. His family were quite affluent, they lived in an expensive neighborhood, they owned their own home, and they went on foreign holidays etc. And his Aunt Mimi actually didn't like him hanging around with the working class McCartney - who was quite rough back in the 1950s
Damn fine piece of EDITING in this little informative video. It very much shows how CONSISTENT McCartney was about telling his side of the story over the years. The spread out clips all piece together SEAMLESSLY.
The rot started with Dick James owning 51%. That happened over and over again to young talented musicians. Sharks in the water devoured them and spat out the remains.
@@tectorama And *The Buccaneers* both of which are *ITV* shows, which like most older *ITV* dramas and comedies, have been forgotten by the people in charge of the network, and will no doubt never be shown again on any of *ITV's* channels, even though they'd be perfect for *ITV4.*
What a slap in the face to have to buy your own music! I'm surprised nobody's saying that! Can you imagine writing all this stuff and somebody just buying it out from under you?
One of the best things about MJ owning the Beatles catalog is that it also included Little Richard's catalog, which was worth at least 20 million. MJ gave him back all the rights to his songs for free, which allowed him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
MJ gave McCartney jack shit. Where did you get that from? McCartney sued a couple of years ago, around 2016/2017 I think, to recover his half share of the Lennon/McCartney catalog, as US copyright laws allow the artist/writer to reclaim the rights on anything published before 1978 - ie the whole Beatles catalog. So McCartney now owns half of the catalog, but MJ didn't give this to him. McCartney has a net worth of over £1.2 billion (most of which he had before re-acquiring his share of the Beatles rights), making him the most successful musician of all time (and that includes MJ), so thankfully he didn't need any gifts from MJ to enable him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
@@kendallroberts5337 well, he didn't really make that clear. But let's not pretend mj did that out of the goodness of his own heart. Little Richard would have been entitled to get back his artist rights in the same way as McCartney did, due to the age of the catalog, and mj and his advisors would have known that.
"The girl is mine" is such a hit. thank you both for bringing that into my life. I remember hearing it for the first time at my aunties place. xx thank u
@Mason [edit: apologies for the long response, i don’t know how to be brief lol] yes, but the truth is that having your music in too many ads can “devalue” it, as paul said. an example that comes to mind is the black keys; i remember hearing their songs in so many commercials as a kid, before i even knew who they were. by the time they became mainstream, i’m sure a lot of their back catalog had lost a substantial amount of its value (which they did make up for through multiple albums and relentless touring in the early-mid 2010s). you’re right in that there’s nothing inherently wrong with “selling out”, but artists don’t just care about profits… they also care about their music’s artistic integrity, and in many of those cases it’s understandable when they turn such offers down.
@Mason how you relate anti greed and monopolisation to being weak is supporting the belief that having more means being more. An error of profound implications.
There are other information confirming that Michael did contact Paul McCartney proposing to buy together the BEATLES cataloque approx us$ 40 millions ( 20 each) but Paul said he couldn t afford 20 millions, so Michael told him he would buy it in total. Paul most likely contacted Yoko Ono for sharing the purchase 10 mls each but it did not succeed. So Michael did the deal.
I heard that story too. Michael wanted to go half’s with Paul but he says there too expensive, then I think Michael asked Ono to go three ways but she wasn’t interested or something. So yes Michael overpaid for them, I think 83 mil instead of 60 mil or so. But he did offer Paul the chance so he didn’t do anything wrong.
He mentions something that I completely agree with I hate it when bands or artists come out with an album or song and within a year their songs are being played on television commercials 😖😖
Licensing your music to shows/commercials/movies is one of the few ways you can make a living these days as an artist. Used to be all record sales, but now streaming makes it practically free for people. Would have loved to put out music before the internet when you could afford to not do that 😔
@@alecshaw4274 Yeah, it's also the only way for independent artist to get their stuff in front of a large number of people, who wouldn't normally think to seek them out, these days, too.

McCartney has reason to be mad and negative. Not just for the business but for the friendship and morals. For having his and John's songs being used in ways they never intended and never wanted. Yet he has clearly chosen not to be negative. He has chosen to state his views in a straight forward and often humourous manner. That speaks very highly of his personality and professionalism.
Lennon used to say 'Let's write a swimming pool.' or a song that paid enough royalties to build a pool. Money is the main driver with most bands, forget all the 'we're in it for the art, we don't make any money' spiel they come out with.
@TheManMan Grace in how he handled MJ’s disloyal “snake move.” In other words, McCartney just wreaks of class. He doesn’t seem consumed with vindictive rage. Man, I would’ve been ‘off the chain’ in calling out MJ as a Judas. McCartney took the high road, and in so doing he demonstrated total class and grace.
@TheManMan You’re 100% correct. He said that exactly. I think Sir Paul didn’t take him seriously enough, or thought he was just kidding ... The one aspect where I think McCartney bears some blame is in not just buying the music himself. I know he briefly addresses that in this segment. And so he (McCartney) had to know that if he didn’t buy the publishing rights to the Lennon-McCartney Catalogue, SOMEONE eventually would, whether it be MJ or someone else. So that aspect of things is the only head-scratcher for me, where Paul seems perhaps a tad disingenuous. Maybe I’m missing something. Lol
@TheManMan And I’ve heard often times (who knows if it’s true) that McCartney has a reputation for being a tightwad, which is crazy because the guy is worth like a gazillion dollars. He’s so rich, that he was the richest person in the UK. Heather Mills divorced him and took almost half of all he had. And he was STILL the richest person in England 😂 But anyway, my point being that his being a tightwad is probably why he didn’t buy back his music, and it came back to bite him .
I really love how not only Chris Tucker, but also Sir Paul Mccartney like to imitate MJ soft voice. I personally feel so peaceful everytime i heard MJ talking voice because it's so different from his singing voice but in a beautiful way
What he doesn't tell is, that Michael called him before and offered to buy the songs 50/50. It was 50 Million $ in that time but Paul McCartney refused, because it was too expensive in his opinion. Than MJ bought them all for 50 Million $ and after years they had a value of more than 500 Million $. But what's the fault of MJ in this case?
His fault is that he degraded the songs in spite of the songwriter's wish and that he took away the opportunity from Paul to buy them by offering a huge amount to the seller. At least according to what Paul is saying in this video.
@@alexsandra7173 do you think MJ was dumb enough to overvalue something he was about to buy ?? The seller is the one who decides the price, Paul was too cheap to buy it even when Michael offered him to buy it 50/50 with him, he is just bitter than with time the catalogue worth get to ten times what it costed to MJ and turned out to be a very good investment.
Michael bought them but could have sold them to Paul and Yoko at a reasonable price but instead turned a profit with them by using them for a Nike commercial for shoes and other bs commercial deals. He’s not a friend and I admire Paul’s way of addressing the issue.
Yeah. And after Yoko Ono rejected his offer to team up to buy back those songs, why didn't Paul just try to team up with Michael to buy those songs?? He got no one but himself to blame. It wasn't like Michael was secretly working behind his back.
@@highway264able Why should he?? If McCartney and Ono don't see a need to buy them in the first place, why should Jackson buy them to sell them to them?? That makes absolutely no sense.
@James Paul McCartney I'm listening to your music since my high school years. I'm 33 now. And still the same feelings I felt every single time I'm listening to it. Thank you kindly for all your songs, for all this beautiful feelings that it giving. Wish your heart be full of love and peace forever. Evgenij.

I really admire that Paul McCartney didn't want his songs to be used in commercials and didn't benefit from their monetary gain. That says a lot about his integrity and I do think it would've devalued their songs. Bravo for him!

@johnsonnathaniel54 lmfao, how does it smell having your bigforehead so far up your own ass. Paul was mad because it was THEIR songs, they wrote them, worked hard on them. It didn't belong to Micheal, black and white ;)
m@@SWog617 well. Lisa Marie Presley was married, when MJ met her. In 3 months she filed for divorce and moved into MJ's. Gotta love bitter Beatles fans...
It’s ironic that, as a kid, seeing that sneakers commercial that used Revolution made me a Beatles fan. I didn’t know any better. As I got older, I understood why Paul was so uneasy with them using it in such a way. He has integrity.
I just read the Stan Lee biography that was published last year. A couple of years before Michael died, he wanted to publish comic books with Stan. Stan even agreed to it. That would have been amazing.
This is nothing new, this has happened to almost every black artist from that time period. Most have died broke and pennyless while the white person that owned their lifes work became millionares. The only difference here is that the roles are reversed, and that makes a lot of people angry. I wonder why?
@@tapmaan6150 My comment was in no way racial, so leave race out of it. The Beatles were being ripped of long before Michael Jackson bought their catalogue !!!
I like that once MJ got ownership of the MASSIVE catalog that included other artist besides The Beatles. He gave Little Richard ownership of his publishing back. It shows who he really cared about. Because of that Little Richard(whom I met & worked with) died leaving a 40 million dollar fortune. Rest In Peace MJ & Little Richard
It wasn't accepted but he also offered him a lifetime job as a writer in his production company, LR, Stevie, Mavis, Smokey, always paid respects to predecessors
Paul is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Paul🔥
I love that The Beatles resisted the total commercialisation of their songs. As Paul said, they will always stand the test of time, probably even better without commercials.
Back in those days most artist didnt even know song publishing existed. You heard the man, he thought the songs just floated around for everybody to enjoy. Poor hippy bastards, hehe
They were really just rag-tag scouse rapscallions for the longest time but when business starting getting involved things got spaghetti-like. It’s like programming. When you’re making your draft you do lazy things and say “I’ll fix it later” and you never fix it. It just becomes a confusing mess because you never thought to future-proof your work! In all fairness, their manager, Brian Epstein, did die in the height of their popularity. It must not’ve been easy to maintain.
@@MusicWorldWonder yeah but it’s really an instance of legal legitimacy, business legitimacy, but still kind of a dick move I guess... but maybe that’s just me.
Paul literally told him to buy other people’s music as an investment, right? So, why is it ok for him to encourage others to buy and control other artist’s music, but then get pissed when it happens to his? He also was very up front with Paul and offered for them to go in on it together. I don’t see a problem. I don’t blame Paul for being upset, but I don’t blame MJ for buying them either.
At this point in his life, 80 yrs old I believe, Sir Paul will probably live long enough to have his masters rightfully returned back to him after 50 yrs.
@@iThinkNot. he obviously interpreted is as a joke. Jackson saw this and did nothing. But of course being the mercantile weasel Jackson us it suited his purposes
That's one way to look at it. ON the other hand, the music was able to live on and gain a larger fan base because of insertion into the commercial realm. The Beatles stole music from other artists. It's bigger than them.
@@mrsaye499 Oh, please. The Movies do so to songs, but not commercials. "The Beatles stole music from other artists" - that was the funniest part of your comment.

It’s funny how in the beginning Paul tries to make it seem like he taught Michael everything about the music business and at the end he say Michael told him it’s just business.

Regardless if you like the Beatles or not, the fact they have produced the most valuable songs in human history should tell you something about how many millions of people they’ve reached through their music.

BoyBlack HardTruth and Id like to see you come up with a song like them. Its not the talent that each of them had. Its the talent that THEY had altogether as a group. And before saying that none of them had talent. Who wrote the song that was number 1 for 8 weeks? Paul McCartney And just listen to the beat that ringo put in their songs. He didn’t get as much attention about that as he should’ve. Like It or not The Beatles are the building blocks of any rare GOOD music today.
Whenever I hear the song "Anticipation" I still visualize an upside down ketchup bottle and I haven't seen that commercial in years, so I can get what Paul was saying about songs being commercialized.

@@jsullivan2112 Correct that did happen too. Which is insane. That’s the inspiration for the song ‘Taxman’. Either way it was a tempestuous experience with the ‘business’ of making music. There is always someone looking to take from you.
Thank you so much Paul McCartney for keeping the integrity of every kid on the street who started playing rock and roll, because it fortified people and culture that actually means something. It is from the heart. This guy is telling the truth. And he's doing it objectively and effectively. You don't see anymore Beatle music in TV ads these days.
The beatles were doing a watered down version of rock and roll which is black music which they admitt they learned from motown acts. Michael was only doing what white folks were doing to black musicians from the beginning.
@@letholamokhesi1253 That was only at the beginning when they were getting their chops together. From Revolver on they were making their own music which was their own mix of influences. Not watered down anything.
So much respect for the Beatles I feel we all see this in todays music and he’s so right Revolution was so much more than a pair of sneakers. Authenticity cannot be bought or used to promote something that’s lesser than the meaning of the artistry itself.
@TheButtermilkgirl Stevie did not write for the Beatles. That makes 0 sense. And Paul McCartney is the most successful artist in terms of hits of all time. He has his name on more #1 hit songs than anyone else. And I agree, non white artists have historically been shunned and demeaned by the music industry, but that doesn’t mean that every white artist had someone writing their songs for them. And btw, Stevie’s songs sound nothing like the Beatles. This argument has literally 0 merit.
Didnt realise how thoroughly decent he was too in not wanting to take all the credit for his and johns work with the beatles and getting in touch with Yoko about giving her a share. So many others would have took all the glory.
Why on earth is everyone saying he said no? Did we watch the same video? He didn't say no!! He was discussing with Yoko and negotiating the price when MJ jumped in!
@@alexsandra7173 Michael’s lawyers called up Paul’s and Yoko’s asking what their plan was and they said they weren’t bidding because the price was too high. Fair enough, but the seller wanted to sell the catalogue anyway - it could have been sold to anyone. Michael tried to buy it for 30million, the guy who owned the catalogue feared Jackson was buying it for Paul, so a years worth of negotiations happened and the price went to 47.5million. They don’t show that in the video
@@DreamToBeXx This doesn't make sense... If the seller wanted to sell it to Paul initially why did he care if Michael was buying it for Paul? Could you please share your source? Your information contradicts what Paul is saying in this video.
Another reason to have mad respect for Prince who rebelled against record companies owning artist's work and then he signed older artists who had been screwed in the past in order to reward them properly. Artists such as Sly Stone and Larry Graham for example.
Michael Jackson was an absolute legend. What a lot of people don’t know is that after Mike bought the catalogue, he gave Little Richard back his masters…FOR FREE. Little Richard was in debt and didn’t own his own music that he’d written, as many black artists of the time. Michael gave the true king of rock and roll back his masters and he was able to financially benefit from his work for 35 years until his death in 2020. Michael also gave Jackie Wilson’s widow his masters, also for free. Jackie Wilson was Michael’s predecessor and influenced Michael greatly as a boy. what people don’t understand is that music IS a business. When I think about the black artists who paved the way, I can’t help but think of how they were also taken advantage of by companies like the one Michael bought. The Beatles benefited greatly by co-opting the sounds of artists like Muddy Waters, and their whiteness allowed them to be massive stars around the world. The Beatles were great, but compared to black American artists before and around their time who didn’t get half the chance, the Beatles were overrated. Good on MJ for giving black artist back their work.
The Beatles were certainly not over rated. They wrote their lyrics and played their own instruments. Not like artist today, sampling all the hits they never wrote.
And people dont understand this fact that music is a huge business. He owned many catalogs aka music songs and albums aka the music rights. It warms my heart he gave back those masters for free. He owned so many catalogs that Sony became Sony ATV. And they wanted him to sell it. And Michael wouldn't. That is a very good reason to lie on someone throughout their career and attack them in the media wouldn't you say? And guess what Sony/ATV got their catalogs after he passed. But Michael Jackson and his family to this day still own Michael's catelog aka music right aka rights to his songs and Heal LA is still a huge thing through his son today If my memory serves me he bought the rights around 1985. In 1982 he song beat it. Which only the light of this information I think the song can point to him thinking about buying those rights and what it would mean.
Wonder if Mike felt some kinda way cuz he knew the Beatles were heavily ripping from Muddy and Chuck Berry and others from that late 40s, early 50s era. I feel like he knew it and felt no reservations about grabbing that catalogue when the opportunity arose. He told him ‘it’s just business’ as a way to keep the heat on himself instead of letting Paul know they had no love and respect from a lot of legends in the community. Saved Paul from that conversation too cause the Beatles had no concrete answers for explaining their own profit off others ‘originality’.
The fact he told the same story for almost 4 decades consistently and not to mention tells it in the most respectable way possible, shows you the integrity that Paul has
The fact this dead child molester owns catalog is insulting

@@PhonyPhoniPhoné He’s no fake. How ignorant to think he isn’t the real Paul McCartney, and I suppose the other guy writing and singing the song is Not the real Michael Jackson! Lol😂

However, THERE WOULD BE NO CATALOG IF PAUL HAD NOT CREATED IT. These are NOT "just songs". These are song HE WROTE, HE CREATED. He had every right to want them back, they came from HIS MIND.

Paul's Michael voice is pretty impressive lol
I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
I think he had done that voice many times out loud as well as inside.
I didn't catch any sarcasm either. Seems to have hurt him though. I'd feel a little used and betrayed but as an adult and a Sir. with class, you put things in their place and move on. I respect that.
I noticed that as well.....in one part its hard to tell who is singing. Paul has a little more cream to his vocals.
@jimi hendrix Paul was so flattered when Jimi played some Sgt. Peppers, literally just a few days after its release at his show. Too bad Clapton didn’t tune his guitar for him-obviously a joke, but some thought it was real.

The truth doesn’t change.

It's commendable for sure, but not really ''mind-blowing''. In fact, it's how it should be. Facts don't change as someone here already said.
The fact that he had the chance to buy them, and he didn't because they were Lennon-McCartney songs and not just McCartney songs just says a lot about how great the man is
Shiiiit, he could've bought them then later sold half the catalogue to Lennon later, just to secure them
@Kay Jeffs I guess he felt bad for having to give so much money for his and John songs, something that should have been owned by them all along.
Either that or it's an excuse for a huge mistake he made.
He could've bought the catalog and said that he was the only person to make that decision, and that John would've wanted it that way. Nobody would've blamed him for it since otherwise their music would've gone to MJ.
He did the right thing and asked Yoko; when she misjudged the situation he should've acted it on his own.
50 million is a lot of money but it wasn't too difficult to see that the value would go up in time.
@@kayjeffs3741 that would have been the smart thing to do.
@Basement Network Because in retrospect a few generations later, the commercial use is more blatant than even Paul expected. He's not threatening to sue or calling anyone a bad name....he's complaining about it when asked how it went down and how he feels.
His story never changes... that’s honesty. Good for him for not letting $$$ make him bitter.

@@TheArmchairPriest he's involved in legal actions to acquire rights and again that zen horseshit is easy to say from a mansion and divide what? he and jackson weren't fishing-buddies.

@@shaunpearson7905 untrue considering paul didnt want to profit off the songs, that was his initial argument with jackson. The songs are art and should never be used for advertisements or for personal gain. Its for rock and roll. Idk about any mansion or zen shit youre talking about but what I said was right regardless of your argument. Hes done enough acid and prayer to know theres more to life especially in art
I thought there was a bit of sour grapes here on Paul’s part!
He sounds quite understandably cheesed off but the truth is that he missed several opportunities to secure the rights, the last time being when he and Ono undervalued them significantly.
You can’t blame it on MJ, he wasn’t the richest person around by any means.
Michael choosing Beatles catalogs :
"I want this, and this one, and this one, and this one."
“Don’t waste your time... Because, the doggone songs are MINE”
Imagine him buying every single song except for Revolution 9 and Wild Honey Pie.
I agree. This was the same with Prince . Its why he changed his name for awhile to the symbol. Its why he fought for artist rights and started Paisley Park records and eventuallly got his masters back before he died.
I can hear this😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Fantastic comment! Though I guess his taste in songs > his taste in gold-plated tat.
Always frank. Always candid. Always classy. Always respectful. McCartney remains an incredible human
True. ❤️
McCartney was so naive. He was just a working class guy who didn’t knew anything about the music business. But that’s why he’s so strong. He knew how to deal with everything. This man deserves a lot of respect.
"A working class hero is something to be."--John Lennon
Plenty of musicians back then got screwed over in similar ways. It was really the first time massive money was coming in for pop/rock stars on a world stage. Everyone was naive
John was middle class, but that didn’t help in the shark infested waters of music publishing
Mccartney was middleclass
@@KatieCannotFly McCartney and Harrison were working class. They came from poor families and grew up on council estates.
Lennon was middle class - and he used to get annoyed when people assumed he grew up poor. His family were quite affluent, they lived in an expensive neighborhood, they owned their own home, and they went on foreign holidays etc. And his Aunt Mimi actually didn't like him hanging around with the working class McCartney - who was quite rough back in the 1950s
Damn fine piece of EDITING in this little informative video. It very much shows how CONSISTENT McCartney was about telling his side of the story over the years. The spread out clips all piece together SEAMLESSLY.

One of the best things about MJ owning the Beatles catalog is that it also included Little Richard's catalog, which was worth at least 20 million. MJ gave him back all the rights to his songs for free, which allowed him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Preach
The nerve of Mcartney to complain and be butt hurt, when he once owned Tooty Fruity.
MJ gave McCartney jack shit. Where did you get that from? McCartney sued a couple of years ago, around 2016/2017 I think, to recover his half share of the Lennon/McCartney catalog, as US copyright laws allow the artist/writer to reclaim the rights on anything published before 1978 - ie the whole Beatles catalog. So McCartney now owns half of the catalog, but MJ didn't give this to him. McCartney has a net worth of over £1.2 billion (most of which he had before re-acquiring his share of the Beatles rights), making him the most successful musician of all time (and that includes MJ), so thankfully he didn't need any gifts from MJ to enable him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
@@davidjames3080 he said little Richard not Paul. He said MJ gave Little Richard back his catalog that Paul owned at first.
@@kendallroberts5337 well, he didn't really make that clear. But let's not pretend mj did that out of the goodness of his own heart.

I never knew they didn't want their tunes used in adverts. Respect.
@Mason [edit: apologies for the long response, i don’t know how to be brief lol]
yes, but the truth is that having your music in too many ads can “devalue” it, as paul said. an example that comes to mind is the black keys; i remember hearing their songs in so many commercials as a kid, before i even knew who they were. by the time they became mainstream, i’m sure a lot of their back catalog had lost a substantial amount of its value (which they did make up for through multiple albums and relentless touring in the early-mid 2010s). you’re right in that there’s nothing inherently wrong with “selling out”, but artists don’t just care about profits… they also care about their music’s artistic integrity, and in many of those cases it’s understandable when they turn such offers down.
@Mason Some people aren't scrounging down the back of the sofa for chump change either.
Should have bought them then.
@Mason how you relate anti greed and monopolisation to being weak is supporting the belief that having more means being more. An error of profound implications.
I am sure that Yoko Ono has an opinion on this, no one knows the truth
There are other information confirming that Michael did contact Paul McCartney proposing to buy together the BEATLES cataloque approx us$ 40 millions ( 20 each) but Paul said he couldn t
afford 20 millions, so Michael told him he would buy it in total. Paul most likely contacted Yoko Ono for sharing the purchase 10 mls each but it did not succeed. So Michael did the deal.
Yep, there's always two sides to a story.
I heard that story too. Michael wanted to go half’s with Paul but he says there too expensive, then I think Michael asked Ono to go three ways but she wasn’t interested or something. So yes Michael overpaid for them, I think 83 mil instead of 60 mil or so. But he did offer Paul the chance so he didn’t do anything wrong.

McCartney has reason to be mad and negative. Not just for the business but for the friendship and morals. For having his and John's songs being used in ways they never intended and never wanted. Yet he has clearly chosen not to be negative. He has chosen to state his views in a straight forward and often humourous manner. That speaks very highly of his personality and professionalism.
I'm not above saying, MJ was scum for what he did.
Michael Jackson called me and ask do you wanna make some hits, and I said “yeah sure”
Lennon used to say 'Let's write a swimming pool.' or a song that paid enough royalties to build a pool. Money is the main driver with most bands, forget all the 'we're in it for the art, we don't make any money' spiel they come out with.
WAY TO GO, Sir Paul!! What integrity! What grace!
@TheManMan Grace in how he handled MJ’s disloyal “snake move.” In other words, McCartney just wreaks of class. He doesn’t seem consumed with vindictive rage. Man, I would’ve been ‘off the chain’ in calling out MJ as a Judas. McCartney took the high road, and in so doing he demonstrated total class and grace.
@TheManMan You’re 100% correct. He said that exactly. I think Sir Paul didn’t take him seriously enough, or thought he was just kidding ... The one aspect where I think McCartney bears some blame is in not just buying the music himself. I know he briefly addresses that in this segment. And so he (McCartney) had to know that if he didn’t buy the publishing rights to the Lennon-McCartney Catalogue, SOMEONE eventually would, whether it be MJ or someone else. So that aspect of things is the only head-scratcher for me, where Paul seems perhaps a tad disingenuous. Maybe I’m missing something. Lol
@TheManMan And I’ve heard often times (who knows if it’s true) that McCartney has a reputation for being a tightwad, which is crazy because the guy is worth like a gazillion dollars. He’s so rich, that he was the richest person in the UK. Heather Mills divorced him and took almost half of all he had. And he was STILL the richest person in England 😂 But anyway, my point being that his being a tightwad is probably why he didn’t buy back his music, and it came back to bite him .
Cheers for putting this together man.

What he doesn't tell is, that Michael called him before and offered to buy the songs 50/50. It was 50 Million $ in that time but Paul McCartney refused, because it was too expensive in his opinion. Than MJ bought them all for 50 Million $ and after years they had a value of more than 500 Million $. But what's the fault of MJ in this case?
Don’t forget Yoko’s part. As Paul has stated, he wrote the songs for nothing.
@@ladybuggs11 yep
bad business move by Sir Paul
His fault is that he degraded the songs in spite of the songwriter's wish and that he took away the opportunity from Paul to buy them by offering a huge amount to the seller. At least according to what Paul is saying in this video.
@@alexsandra7173 do you think MJ was dumb enough to overvalue something he was about to buy ?? The seller is the one who decides the price, Paul was too cheap to buy it even when Michael offered him to buy it 50/50 with him, he is just bitter than with time the catalogue worth get to ten times what it costed to MJ and turned out to be a very good investment.
Paul had a chance to buy them and he didn’t. Micheal then told him numerous times he was going to buy them. Then he did.
Mike did the Business move, Paul must blame himself!! 😂
Michael bought them but could have sold them to Paul and Yoko at a reasonable price but instead turned a profit with them by using them for a Nike commercial for shoes and other bs commercial deals. He’s not a friend and I admire Paul’s way of addressing the issue.
Yeah. And after Yoko Ono rejected his offer to team up to buy back those songs, why didn't Paul just try to team up with Michael to buy those songs?? He got no one but himself to blame. It wasn't like Michael was secretly working behind his back.

No. Commercials add value to songs because it opens up their music to a new generation of listeners.

@@alexsandra7173 Michael’s lawyers called up Paul’s and Yoko’s asking what their plan was and they said they weren’t bidding because the price was too high.

Micheal Jackson died fighting labels.
@Harry Munker not just that
Why do you people insist on making this about Prince?
@@MusicWorldWonder Do you not have the bandwidth to consider Prince as well? "Us people" can manage a few intellectual moving parts.
Michael Jackson was an absolute legend. What a lot of people don’t know is that after Mike bought the catalogue, he gave Little Richard back his masters…FOR FREE. Little Richard was in debt and didn’t own his own music that he’d written, as many black artists of the time. Michael gave the true king of rock and roll back his masters and he was able to financially benefit from his work for 35 years until his death in 2020. Michael also gave Jackie Wilson’s widow his masters, also for free. Jackie Wilson was Michael’s predecessor and influenced Michael greatly as a boy. what people don’t understand is that music IS a business. When I think about the black artists who paved the way, I can’t help but think of how they were also taken advantage of by companies like the one Michael bought. The Beatles benefited greatly by co-opting the sounds of artists like Muddy Waters, and their whiteness allowed them to be massive stars around the world. The Beatles were great, but compared to black American artists before and around their time who didn’t get half the chance, the Beatles were overrated. Good on MJ for giving black artist back their work.
@@kathleenmaclachlan1541 RIGHT! He's a King, The King of Music. Legend is far too demure for him.
The Beatles were certainly not over rated. They wrote their lyrics and played their own instruments. Not like artist today, sampling all the hits they never wrote.
And people dont understand this fact that music is a huge business. He owned many catalogs aka music songs and albums aka the music rights. It warms my heart he gave back those masters for free. He owned so many catalogs that Sony became Sony ATV. And they wanted him to sell it. And Michael wouldn't. That is a very good reason to lie on someone throughout their career and attack them in the media wouldn't you say? And guess what Sony/ATV got their catalogs after he passed. But Michael Jackson and his family to this day still own Michael's catelog aka music right aka rights to his songs and Heal LA is still a huge thing through his son today
If my memory serves me he bought the rights around 1985. In 1982 he song beat it. Which only the light of this information I think the song can point to him thinking about buying those rights and what it would mean.
Wonder if Mike felt some kinda way cuz he knew the Beatles were heavily ripping from Muddy and Chuck Berry and others from that late 40s, early 50s era. I feel like he knew it and felt no reservations about grabbing that catalogue when the opportunity arose.
He told him ‘it’s just business’ as a way to keep the heat on himself instead of letting Paul know they had no love and respect from a lot of legends in the community. Saved Paul from that conversation too cause the Beatles had no concrete answers for explaining their own profit off others ‘originality’.
