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 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.
