WHO ARE THE BEATLES ?“No band has influenced pop culture the way the Beatles have. They were one of the best things to happen in the twentieth century, let alone the Sixties. They were youth personified. They were unmatched innovators who were bigger than both Jesus and rock & roll itself ”.

THE BIRTHOn November 9 1960, Brian Epstein made The Beatles.

Then, their manager Epstein cleaned up their act, eventually replacing black leather jackets, tight jeans, and pompadours with collarless gray Pierre Cardin suits and mildly androgynous haircuts.

THE BEATLEMANIA

By mid-year the Beatles on a national tour, and the hysterical outbreaks of Beatlemania had begun. Late in the year "She Loves You" became the biggest-selling single in British history. Their first movie, A Hard Day's Night (directed by Richard Lester), opened in America in August; it grossed $1.3 million in its first week. The band was aggressively merchandised - Beatle wigs, Beatle clothes, Beatle dolls, lunch boxes, a cartoon series — from which, because of Epstein's ineptitude at business, the band made surprisingly little money.

“NOTHING IS REAL…”

It took four months and $75,000 to record Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Released in June 1967, it was hailed as serious art for its "concept" and its range of styles and sounds, a lexicon of pop and electronic noises; such songs as "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life" were carefully examined for hidden meanings.

“GIVE PEACE A CHANCE”"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now"
