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

excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some
