The Beatles

In the 1960

, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole

world. Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous

fame, so it is difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time.

They were four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in

music. They started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had

some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was

when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first

pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it

became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not

have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They

stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them –

their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as

souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they

first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you

ask them.
