Well worth reading: Paul McCartney on LindaLinda was very down to earth. She taught me to relax. Her priorities were private rather than public. She didn’t go on television to ingratiate herself. She was just very funny, very smart and very talented Exclusive by Sir Paul McCartney. ...When I first met her, I realised that as a photographer she was very sympathetic. It’s now 10 years since she died and probably 40 years since we first met. I can still recall our first meeting. It was at a London club, the Bag O’ Nails, when Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames were playing one night. Across a crowded room, as they say, our eyes met and the violins started playing – but they were drowned out by, of all people, Georgie Fame. Another northerner. There was an immediate attraction between us. As she was leaving – she was with the group the Animals, whom she’d been photographing – I saw an obvious opportunity. I said: “My name’s Paul. What’s yours?” I think she probably recognised me. It was so corny, but I told the kids later that, had it not been for that moment, none of them would be here. Later that night, we went on together to another club, the Speakeasy. It was our first date and I remember I heard Procol Harum’s A Whiter Shade of Pale for the first time. It became our song. entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article3666255.ece

Thats such a lovely piece about Linda, we never forget the first time we meet our true love, he obviously still loves her and misses her loads.

Very sad - in Heather he thought he'd found someone similar to Linda. To put it politely, he was mistaken!

I like that even big famous musicians like Paul have a "song" with their loved ones. Ones that they haven't written themselves, I mean. It makes them seem more human.
Anyway, that was sweet. Thanks for posting.

I feel the whole Paul and Linda time line is convoluted. I've heard different things about how and when they met. I mean, I guess Paul is THE source for such things, but not always.
