Yesterday in L.A, Paul McCartney was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. The ceremony took place outside Capitol Records, where his star was placed alongside Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon's stars.
Paul followed the ceremony with a live stream of a performance of songs from 'Kisses On The Bottom' at Capitol Studios, via iTunes, which is now available to view again for a limited time at www.itunes.com/paulmccartney. The Capitol Studios streaming event was the first time ever that 'Kisses On The Bottom' was brought to life in a live setting.
'Kisses On The Bottom' is a collection of standards Paul grew up listening to, as well as two brand new McCartney compositions 'My Valentine' and 'Only Our Hearts' (which feature guest turns, respectively, from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder).
Recorded with the aid of Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band, 'Kisses On The Bottom' is a personal journey through songs that, in some cases, a young Paul first heard his father perform on the family piano,
'Kisses On The Bottom' is out now.
