A legend of pop music, the mop-top rock group that conquered the world with their music.No adjective can do them justice,
Here is The legend of pop music, The Beatlesis the story of their gap year.
The Beatles (Beatles | The Beatles)
Members: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr
Debut: 1963, first album [Please Please Me]
Career: Until April 1970 - official breakup of The Beatles
Before they changed the history of music, the Beatles were four young men from Liverpool who sang other artists' songs.They came from different family backgrounds and upbringings and were united by music, but they were not yet the Beatles in name or fame.The Beatles, still in their cocoon while performing in Liverpool, dreamed of change,Although it was closer to a performance tour than an official gap year, after just graduating high school they left England for Hamburg, Germany to satisfy their musical desires.
The early days in Hamburg show exactly that this gap year was essential for the Beatles.This is because their more refined musical skills and the Beatles' distinctive hairstyle—which has now become iconic—were developed during this period.
John Lennon described his Hamburg days with the following famous quote.
I was born in Liverpool but grew up in Hamburg
Returning from Hamburg to Liverpool, they became the four-member band we know and brought Hamburg's rough sound
They delivered a shocking and fresh impact to Liverpool's music scene at a time when quiet, subdued music was dominant.Afterwards, the Beatles, who raised their musical maturity by shuttling between Hamburg and Liverpool, began to sweep the global music market through their entry into the United States, known as the 'British Invasion.'
In 1964, 60% of single record sales in the United States were Beatles songs, and on days when shows featuring the Beatles were broadcast, there were reportedly no major crimes committed by American teenagers — does that give you a sense of how enormous their popularity was?
In that way, they rewrote history and became legends.
