The Classic Rock Time Machine is ready to roll. The date we're traveling to, is June 18th, 1942.

That was the day the world was introduced to James Paul McCartney in Liverpool England. That makes Macca 73 years old today. Paul has achieved so much in his career. For example, he's sold millions of albums and singles, many number one hits, at least 60 gold discs, has been knighted, is one of the best performers of all time, and a member of one of, if not the best, rock band ever.

To top all that off, no drama in his life except for that brief period when the rumor was out that "Paul is Dead." Well, he's still alive and kicking, producing music, on tour and loving life. Happy Birthday Paul! Enjoy this video of Mr. McCartney performing a medley of Beatles tunes for this week's version of Classic Rock Throwback Thursday
