Happy birthday Paul McCartney

Posted by Kandace Graves on Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 11:04 AM

English singer-songwriter Paul Weller has recorded his version of the Beatles’ hit song “Birthday” in honor of Paul McCartney’s 70th birthday June 18 — and to raise money for young people in war-torn areas.

Today (June 18) only, music fans can download the song for 70 cents at www.amazon.com. Proceeds from sale of the single will benefit War Child International, a group of humanitarian organizations trying to help children and young adults living in areas of armed conflict survive and move forward.
