Letus be frank, I don't know ABC of 'Rock & Pop' music, but I was introduced to it with a song "Don't let me down" by "The Beatles" few years back. My knowledge about 'Rock & Pop' music started with this lovely song. Since then, I think my knowledge of 'Rock & Pop' music has increased many fold.
Today's column is dedicated to the greatest 'Rock & Pop' band in the history of entertainment, "The Beatles". Music Bands may come and go, but no one can replace "The Beatles", they are beyond comparison. Arguably the most successful entertainers of the 20th century, "The Beatles" contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations..... Remember the hippie generation of 1960's and 1970's.
The Rise:
On March 1957, 'John Lennon' formed a group 'The Quarrymen'. In July of the same year, 'Lennon' met 'Paul McCartney', who agreed to join as a guitarist. 'George Harrison' was the next who joined the group as a lead guitarist. First couple of years were on and off for "The Beatles" till 1963 when Band toured UK four times. Public response was great, performances were attended with enthusiasm by the fans.
In year 1964 "The Beatles" made a tour to United States, which was like a dream. They gave their first live television performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show", which was watched by approximately seventy-four million viewers.......Representing the half population of United States at the time.
Popularity of "The Beatles" generated unprecedented interest in the British music, which helped the other Bands of UK in establishing their identity. Following years "The Beatles" toured various countries across globe.
"The Beatles" performed in movies like "A Hard Day's Night", "Help !" and "Magical Mystery Tour" during 1960's. All of the movies received positive response except "Magical Mystery Tour". Success of the Band continued for the entire decade of 1960's.
Fall and the gossips around "The Beatles" will be published tomorrow.....
Keep reading....
