Paul McCartney's latest album, Kisses on the Bottom, finds the rock legend covering some of his favorite rock and soul standards. His own catalog, of course, includes no shortage of songs that have become pop standards in their own right.

Our question for you this week is: What is the best Paul McCartney song of all time? We recently counted down McCartney's finest solo tunes, but this question is open to include his entire body of work, from his solo tunes to his Beatles material to his records with Wings and, hell, even his music as the Fireman.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
