April 17, 1970 –
A little known solo artist Paul McCartney releases his first solo album,
McCartney, on this date.
The album was Paul McCartney’s first solo effort, he had little in the way of leftovers to work with. He worked up the album in his kitchen, and played all of the instruments himself. The only other performer on the album was his wife Linda, who lent backing vocals (she also took the cover photo).
(An unfortunate co-incidence for this day, Linda McCarthy died from complications of breast cancer on this date in 1998.)
