In 1963 McCartney's talent for song writing had come in handy, for he had found true love. He rendered his well known love songs to Jane Ashton, who later on, he would ask to marry at a family Christmas party. Soon after the couple were no longer a pair and by July 1968 the engagement was off. Not long after his break up with Jane he met an American Photographer, Linda Eastman. Paul would finally go through with the wedding, they ended up marrying not long after. .
The band was now in need of a new manager and after being married to Linda for several months, Paul suggested Linda's father, Lee Eastman. The rest of the members, especially John, disagreed and favoured an American businessman, Allen Klein. McCartney had been outvoted and Klein was hired thus causing the tension in the band to increase as well between Paul and John. John would soon marry Yoko Ono, who Paul disliked for many reasons. Times became very hectic for Paul when suddenly wild rumours began to spread. "The rumour was that Paul was actually a look-alike and that the real Paul McCartney had died seven years earlier" (Rolling Stone). The problems in the band were not enough, Paul now had to deal with this ridiculous situation.
Thing began to grow worse for the Beatles when Klein hired a new producer, Phil Spector. McCartney immediatley grew angry with Spector as he began to inserting string instrumentals and and backup femal vocal into Paul's songs. McCartney began working on his solo album "McCartney. The album was ready to be released in early 1970, but Klein proposed that the release be postponed due to the bands release of their album "Let It Be". McCartney ignored Klein's proposal and released his album, actually a month before "Let It Be." On April 10, 1970, Paul McCartney stated that he would no longer be a member of the Beatles.
As sales of "Let It Be" were dropping, sales of "McCartney were booming. The album was composed of all of Paul's work that the Beatles had rejected, and it became No.
