Paul McCartney opens up about Abbey Road, the Beatles' breakup in wide-ranging interview
How is it that we enter the 51st season of 60 Minutes and are only now profiling the most successful musician and composer in popular music history?

Mr. McCartney was funny and reflective as we used rare photos and film to walk him through some very personal Beatles stories, and wondered who, at the age of 76, he is still trying to impress.
