The 1960s
Paul’s solo career began in 1970 with his US number one album McCartney. This decade saw Paul redefining himself in the wake of the Beatles’ split, writing every song and playing every instrument on McCartney, collaborating with Linda McCartney on RAM, and going on to form the critically acclaimed and commercially successful rock band Wings. The 1970s represented a creative rebirth for Paul, bursting with new ideas, experiments, playfulness and freedom, as he enjoyed both the contentment of family life and the excitement of getting back out on the road.

Hare Krishna in
the Bowery, NY
Meeting Srila Prabhupada
Released in 1970, a month before The Beatles’ swansong Let It Be, McCartney was Paul’s first solo album. Notable for the fact that he performed all instruments and vocals himself, aside from some backing vocals performed by Linda McCartney, it’s an album rich in experimentation, and the original home of ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’.

The McCartney album was good fun because I got a machine from EMI, only a four-track, and I just had it in my living room where I lived in London at the time. I’d just go in for the day like Monsieur Magritte. Go in and do a little bit of stuff and make something up, and knock off in the evenings. It was very interesting to do and it had a certain kind of rawness, because I was breaking loose after The Beatles, we all got a feeling of that, I think.

The Hare Krishna people
“The Hare Krishna People” is the definitive 1970’s documentary film on Srila Prabhupada’s world-wide Hare Krishna Movement. This is a beautiful film, now even more beautiful due to digital restoration. It shows a cross-section of the activities of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, in the mid 1970’s. At this time the Hare Krishna movement was exploding all over the world, thus the documentary is subtitled: “The Hare Krishna Explosion.”
