Four guys from this English city, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, created a phenomenon that changed the face of the world music scene forever. The history of The Beatles dates back to the 1950s, when John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at the Quarry Bank High School Festival in Liverpool in July 1957. Fascinated by rock and roll music, they decided to form a band. They were joined by George Harrison and Ringo Starr, respectively, creating one of the most important musical groups in history. The beginnings of his career were difficult. The Beatles performed in local clubs, gaining experience and fans. However, the real breakthrough came when the band signed a contract with EMI in 1962. Their first single, which gained huge popularity, was "Love Me Do". This event marked the beginning of their great success. The 1960s were the period when The Beatles gained worldwide fame. Their music was fresh, innovative and unique. Albums such as "Please Please Me", "A Hard Day's Night" and "Help!" have won the hearts of millions of fans around the world. The band not only set new musical standards, but also introduced innovations in the field of music production. The Beatles' live performances were also famous, especially their concerts on American television programs, which attracted millions of viewers. The phenomenon of "Beatlemania" spread around the world, and young people were amazed by both their music and their unique style.In 1967, one of the most iconic albums in the history of rock music was released - "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". This masterpiece received critical acclaim from critics and fans alike, winning multiple awards including Album of the Year at the Grammys. Nevertheless, although The Beatles were at the height of their worldwide fame, tensions within the band began to rise. Artistic differences and personal matters led to the group's breakup in 1970. Each member started a solo career and achieved individual successes. Even though The Beatles only existed as a band for a short period, their legacy remains unquestionable. The band's music not only defines an era, but has also influenced generations of artists. Today, more than half a century after the legend's birth, songs such as "Hey Jude", "Let It Be" and "Yesterday" are still loved by fans around the world. The Beatles are not only musical icons, but also symbols of the cultural revolution.
