    THE BEATLES

    The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era, and
    many consider them the best musical group on Earth. Initially they affected the
    post-war baby boom generation of Britain and the U.S. during the 1960s, and
    later the rest of the world. Certainly they were the most successful group, with
    global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.

    While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music (and the extreme
    hysterical reaction they received from young women), their later works achieved
    a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequaled in the 20th
    century.

    Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branching out into film and
    — particularly in the case of John Lennon — political activism. They achieved an
    iconic status beyond mere celebrity, with far reaching effects difficult to
    exaggerate.

    The members of the group were John Lennon, (James) Paul McCartney, George
    Harrison and Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey), all from Liverpool, Merseyside,
    England. Original drummer Pete Best was asked to leave the group just before it
    started recording. Stuart Sutcliffe was with them in Hamburg but also left.

    Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded following the appearance of the


    Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9, 1964. The
    pop-music band became a worldwide phenomenon with worshipful fans,
    hysterical adulation, and denunciations by culture commentators and others
    such as Frank Sinatra.

    Some of this was confusion over the sources of their music (a similar confusion
    was evinced in 1956 over Elvis Presley by commentators who were unaware of
    the tradition of blues, R&B and gospel out of which Presley emerged), and some
    of it was simply an incredulous reaction to the length of their hair. At any rate, it
    was regarded by the band members with both awe and resentment.
