Who were they?
The Beatles were an English rock band that became arguably the most successful act of the 20th century. They're known to be the pioneers in the concept of recording and writing their own music, and further contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity and liberation that outperformed the rust Soviet propaganda and contributed to breaking walls in the minds of millions, thus making impact on music history.
Their rise to fame..
The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs (particular the Cavern Club) in Liverpool, and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe initially serving as bass player. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act and producer George Martin enhanced their music potential.
They gained popularity in the United Kingdom after their first hit 'Love Me Do', in late 1962. They acquired the name 'The Fab Four' as Beatlemania grew in Britain over the following year, and by early 1964 they had become international stars, leading the 'British Invasion' of the United States pop market. From 1965 onwards, the Beatles produced what many consider their finest material, including the innovative and widely influential albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966), The Beatles (1968) and many more.
