Sensational. It is great to see that this man's talent hasn't diminished.

Good stuff. "Come On To Me" (single from the album) doesn't sound like anything currently on pop radio. Go figure.

Eh! It's just these old farts thinking they can write a song! Blah! I don't want nothin' to do with it!

These old people don't know nothing about makin' a beat and making a hit song!

What does he know, Eh? And who does he think he is, Floyd Jane or something???? Next thing you know he'll be calling himself Beatmaster or Hear to Learn! Or Bud!!!! Or Janice!!!!! In a dress!!! Just sounds like more old people noise to me!!!!!

Humbug!!!!

He'll never amount to anything, this Paul...whatever his last name is.

Bet he records in Reaper!!!!!

David, that is funny.

FYI - Paul played with John in the famous band The Bottles:

On the serious side it is nice to see that real talent is still acknowledged.

I wonder has he bought the licence to Reaper since I believe for hard up musicians you can keep using it, just a five second nag screen at start.


Probably we will never know, but according to this he was or is a Cubase and Pro Tools man as well.

Way to go Paul! I read an article recently stating this is his first number 1 in something like 35 years. I never really doubted, but nice to know the man's still got it smile

I watched the concert that he did at NY's Grand Central Station the other night on YouTube. He still puts on a good show. That being said, we have to realize that he's 76 years old now and it's understandable that he doesn't have the voice that he had when he was younger. But it was/is still great to watch a true legend doing his thing.

I saw him live about seven years ago in Pittsburgh. He is phenomenal. A truly magical human being. He connects with the audience like NO ONE I have ever seen.

A guy proposed to his wife near the front row, and Paul had the camera zoom in on the ring and all of that and stopped the show and said:

"So are you going to say yes??? Please don't make me sing 'Love Me Do'" or something like that. Then she said yes and they kissed and he congratulated them and dedicated the next song to them. The coliseum went nuts.

Ah - the magic of music smile I love hearing about stuff like this! My parents have told me many times about when they saw him in the 80's. He really is a special human.

He did a concert here in Quebec, Canada back in 2008. There were over 250,000 people there... it was an outdoor show. I bought the DVD and was blown away. The show went on for over 2 1/2 hours non stop. Simply amazing.

We’ve listened straight through a couple of times. As one would expect, some Beatles, Ram period McCartney with a dash of Wings. And there’s the obligatory but not IMO hint of modern pop. Well worth your time.

FWIW, etc.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
