When people hear the name "The Beatles" most people think of
             lead singer, John Lennon. However, the role of Paul McCartney is
             often overlooked. It was McCartney, not Lennon who was the
             John Lennon and Paul McCartney were in many bands
             together before the forming of the Beatles. In 1962, along with
             Ringo Starr1 and George Harrison, they formed the rock group
             known as "The Beatles". The group featured a modern rock that was
