Paul McCartney recently took to Instagram to share his admiration for Beyoncé's rendition of The Beatles' iconic song, "Blackbird." The former member of the legendary group expressed his endorsement for Queen B's performance on April 4, encouraging fans to give it a listen.
In his Instagram post, McCartney wrote that he was more than pleased with Beyoncé's version of "Blackbird." He even went as far as to call it "magnificent" and praised how it reinforces the civil rights message that inspired him to write the song in the first place. He urged anyone who hasn't heard it yet to check it out, promising that they would love it.
The Grammy award-winning singer included her remake of "Blackbird" on her latest album, "Act II: Cowboy Carter," giving it the title "Blackbiird." McCartney also took the opportunity to reflect on what inspired him to write the original song. He revealed that it was dedicated to the Little Rock Nine, the first group of Black students to desegregate schools in Arkansas during the 1950s.
McCartney shared, "When I saw the footage on television in the early '60s of Black girls being turned away from school, I was shocked. And it's even more shocking to think that this kind of discrimination still exists today in some places." He expressed his hope that his song, along with Beyoncé's "fabulous" version, can help ease racial tension and make a positive impact.
The music legend also mentioned that he recently had a FaceTime call with Beyoncé, where she thanked him for allowing her to use his track. He humbly replied that the pleasure was all his and praised her for her "killer" version of the song. Beyoncé's cover featured four talented female country artists: Tiera Kennedy, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Reyna Roberts.
In conclusion, McCartney's praise for Beyoncé's rendition of "Blackbird" not only showcases his admiration for her talent but also highlights the power of music in promoting important messages and bringing people together.
