The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music histo y. This qua tet of

them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCa tney wrote the majo ity of their songs. Onginally,
Lennon and five others fo med a group called the Qua ymen in 1956, with McCa tney joining

who played the bass guitar, and Pete Best on the d ums, pe fo med together as several bands
for a few years, until they finally settled on the Silver Beatles in I960. Ame ican rock musicians,
such as Chuck Be y and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon’s and McCa tney’s music whose first
hits consisted of simple tunes and ly ics about young love, "Love Me Do" and 'Please, Please
Me." The Beatles’ US tour propelled them to stardom and led to two movies A Hot Day’s Night
and Help! filmed in 1964 and 1965. The so-called B itish invasion of the United States was in
full swing when they took the top-five spots on the singles cha ts, followed by the release of
their first film.
Du ing the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The ly ics of their
songs became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popula ity continued
to grow as the Beatles tu ned their attention to social problems and political issues in
“Nowhere Man" and “Eleanor Rigby." Loneliness and nostalgia came through in their ballads
“Michelle" and “Yesterday,” which fully displayed the group's professional development and
sophistication. Lennon's sardonic music with ly ics w itten in the first person, and McCa tney’s
songs that created scena ios with offbeat individuals, cont ibuted to the character of the
music produced by the group. In addition to their music the Beatles set a social trend that
popula ized long hair, Indian music, and mod dress.
For a va iety of reasons, the musicians began to d ift apa t, and their last conce t took place In
San Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their qua rels and lawsuits, and

The Beatles became the most popular group in rock music histo y. This qua tet of
extraordina ily talented musicians generated a phenomenal number of pieces that won gold
records. They inspired a frenzy that transcended count ies and economic strata. While all of
them sang, John Lennon and Paul McCa tney wrote the majo ity of their songs. Onginally,
Lennon and five others fo med a group called the Qua ymen in 1956, with McCa tney joining
them later that year. George Ha ison, John Lennon, McCa tney, together with Stua t Sutcliffe,
who played the bass guitar, and Pete Best on the d ums, pe fo med together as several bands
for a few years, until they finally settled on the Silver Beatles in I960. Ame ican rock musicians,
such as Chuck Be y and Elvis Presley, influenced Lennon’s and McCa tney’s music whose first
hits consisted of simple tunes and ly ics about young love, "Love Me Do" and 'Please, Please
Me." The Beatles’ US tour propelled them to stardom and led to two movies A Hot Day’s Night
and Help! filmed in 1964 and 1965. The so-called B itish invasion of the United States was in
full swing when they took the top-five spots on the singles cha ts, followed by the release of
their first film.
Du ing the 1960s, their music matured and acquired a sense of melody. The ly ics of their
songs became deeper and gained in both imagination and meaning. Their popula ity continued
to grow as the Beatles tu ned their attention to social problems and political issues in
“Nowhere Man" and “Eleanor Rigby." Loneliness and nostalgia came through in their ballads
“Michelle" and “Yesterday,” which fully displayed the group's professional development and
sophistication. Lennon's sardonic music with ly ics w itten in the first person, and McCa tney’s
songs that created scena ios with offbeat individuals, cont ibuted to the character of the
music produced by the group. In addition to their music the Beatles set a social trend that
popula ized long hair, Indian music, and mod dress.
For a va iety of reasons, the musicians began to d ift apa t, and their last conce t took place In
San Francisco in 1966. The newspapers and tabloids publicized their qua rels and lawsuits, and
the much Idolized group finally disbanded In 1970. However, their albums had outsold those of
any other band in histo y. Although all of the Beatles continued to pe fo m solo or fo m new
