That wild spirit rubbed off on Paul Bigtime, pushing him to think bigger and bolder. A few years after the Beatles split, they launched Wings, where she jumped in on keyboards and vocals, no formal training needed. Wings blew up in the 1970s with massive hits and even snagged two Grammys. Paul still marvels at her raw singing style, pure passion without any auto-tune tricks. Their bond lasted nearly 30 years until breast cancer took her in 1998 at age 58.

The kids carried that creative torch, eldest Mary became a photographer like Mom, Stella's killing it as a fashion designer, and son James is out there. Making music, even teaming up with Sean Lennon recently. Paul also has daughter Beatrice from his next marriage and was stepdad to Linda's Heather.
