the story behind the beatles

The introduction of pop style into the music industry in the nineteen-fifties and sixties has had a definite effect on the world. Pop brought rock'n'roll music into existence; it gave those listening to it a sense of non-conformity and freedom. It put parents on the edge of their seats with worry, teenagers on the edge of their seats wanting more. Most important were the bands that brought about the development of pop culture. One of these bands was the Beatles. The Beatles were perhaps the greatest pop band ever, and it is a very interesting story how they came to be so. The foursome had many things in common. Each was born in Liverpool, England, and as boys they lived fairly near to one another (About the Beatles). Also, three of the four had losses that had a great impact on their lives before age 17. As the band became a defined, independent group, the four seemed to have more and more in common with one another.

John’s rock interest was piqued when he heard Elvis Presley's “Heartbreak Hotel” at art school in 1956. They were sent off to Hamburg to play at various area clubs. At age twelve, he was sick in the hospital again. It was a tribute to Buddy Holly’s band, the Crickets. Then, Pete Best, manager of a local club, started drumming for them.
