Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
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, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, all
from Liverpool, England.
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.
6. They were the best selling group in history.
7. All the members were from Liverpool.
8. They appeared on TV on February 9,1964.
9. There was some confusion about the sources of their music.
10. Their music was copied by Elvis Presley.
