Sir Paul McCartneyThere is no one compares with you. Your songs awakened a generation, giving a fresh sound to rock, roll, rhythm, and blues. From the energy of “I Want to Hold Your Hand” to the melancholy of “Yesterday” to the spirituality of “Let It Be,” you have played every chord, touched every emotion. Here, there, and everywhere, you have pushed the boundaries of the familiar to create new classics. We admire your musical genius and your generous support of worthy causes. We are honored to recognize you with the degree of Doctor of Music
