They later merged into the Beatles in the year 1960. McCartney is sometimes referred to "the adorable Beatle" Later, he became involved with the London avantgarde and was instrumental in incorporating experimental aesthetics into the Beatles studio albums. Beginning with 1967's album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, he gradually became the band's chief of staff, and was the creative inspiration behind the majority of their music and film projects. A number of his Beatles songs, such as "And I Love Her", "Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby" as well as "Blackbird" are as the most popular songs in the history of music. [5][6] Although it was his main job to be a bassist for the Beatles, the band also featured a variety of instruments in songs, such as guitars and keyboards.
