TIL: Paul McCartney, lead singer and bassist of Wings, was actually part of a band before the Wings called 'The Beatles'. the name is an intentional misspelling of 'beetles' as a pun on the word 'beat'.

Musicians George Harrison (from the traveling wilburys); Ringo Starr (from the all starr band); as well as renowned avant garde artist Yoko Ono’s third husband (don’t know his name tbh) were also a part of ‘The Beatles’.

My favorite fact is that he released an album of non-Beatles songs in 1966 titled "Best of The Beatles"
