THE BEATLES

 The Beatles to this day are one of the most


famous and popular rock'n'roll groups in the
world. The group shattered many sales
records and had more than fifty top hit
singles. The Beatles started a new era of
music. Their music was unusual because
most rock was strong beat with no melody,
and they added melody to the rock. The
Beatles also added strong and meaningful
lyrics.
 The group included George Harrison, John
Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Richard
Starkey (Ringo Starr). All of the Beatles
where born and raised in Liverpool,
England. John Lennon was the leader of the
band, one of the two lead singers, the
rhythm guitarist and a song writer. George
Harrison was the lead guitarist. Paul
McCartney was a song writer, one of the two
lead singers, and a bassist. Ringo Starr
played the drums.
 The Beatles were discovered on November 9,
1961 by Brian Epstein, a manager of a record
store in Liverpool. The Beatles early music was
influenced by singers Bob Dilan, Chuck Berry and
Elvis Presley. Their first two song were Love Me
Do and Please, Please Me. After a while their own
musical ideas started to emerge, and their music
developed from naive and simple to sophisticated.
The Beatles starred in two feature films, A Hard
Days Night, which earned 1.3 million dollars in its
first week, and Help. They also had their own full
length cartoon called Yellow Submarine.
 In 1964 The Beatles came to New York City for the first
time and were an instant success. A couple of weeks
later after their New York appearance, the five best
selling records were by The Beatles; they became world-
famous. They introduced a new style in clothing and
appearance, too. They wore their hair long and shaggy,
and soon all over the world people started wearing the
Beatles haircut. They were so popular that 'Beatlemania'
emerged. In 1967 the Beatles directed a movie Magical
Mystery Tour about themselves, in which they toured the
English countryside in search of wonder, fun, and magic.
 In 1970 the world-famous and world-loved Beatles
separated. Thirty-five years later, in 2005, the American
entertainment industry magazine Variety named them
the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century.
