THE BEATLES
In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there have
been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational
The Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in
music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these
songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed
pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it
became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit
record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too
dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs!
However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first came out. Throughout the world
many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.
