Paul McCartney says he's 'so happy' with Beyonce's 'killer version' of Beatles' song Blackbird......

Paul McCartney proved he's a full-fledged member of the BeyHive by applauding Beyonce's version of his song Blackbird on Thursday.

'She thanked me for writing it and letting her do it,' he added. 'I told her the pleasure was all mine and I thought she had done a killer version of the song.' The incident gained national attention as it tested the Supreme Court ruling of Brown v. Board of Education, which declared school segregation unconstitutional.

The remaining members of the group — John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr — refrained from participating while McCartney accompanied himself on acoustic guitar and percussive foot-tapping, per Variety. McCartney has long stated that he wrote the song as a tribute to the Little Rock Nine, a group of Black students who faced racial discrimination when they integrated an all-white high school in 1957; Beatles in 1967
