Sir Paul McCartney was awarded his Girshwin award in 2010(i think) for life time of musical achievement. I only saw this broadcasted last night :/
And since he had his Girshwin, he got to perform at the White House. Many talented artists came as well to sing his songs such as :"Long and Winding Road"(Faith Hill) "We Can work it out"(Stevie Wonder) "Penny Lane" (Elvis Costello), "Black Bird" (Corrine Bailey and Herbie Hancock) "Baby you can drive my car"(The Jonas Brothers-mostly there for the younger Obama's(Sasha and Malia's) appreciation.) "Band on the Run" (Dave Grohl-i think his name was)and a couple more. Paul sang some of his own as well such as "Let it be", "Yesterday", and the finale of the event, a rousing all including sing along of "Hey Jude" in which all the artists came to the stage and began to sing with him. The Obama's and several other people from the audience joined them on the stage.
The event was amazing and I would have KILLED to be there. Everyone seemed to have lots of fun. And, for your benefit(Who ever reads this) I'm posting the link to Paul's finale of "Hey Jude" so have fun and feel free to sing your heart out!
