The Beatles were a legendary British rock band from Liverpool. The lineup consisted of George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals), John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals, harmonica), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals, piano) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Also at different times the members of the group were Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe. Having a great impact on the development of rock music, the band not only changed it but also reached an unprecedented popularity due to what the Beatles became one of the most vivid phenomenon of the world culture in the XX century and have sold more than 1 billion records worldwide. Their appearance, behavior and beliefs made them legislators of the style and led to the great influence of the band on the social and Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. After their break-up in 1970 each member of the band started the career of a solo artist. The formation of the band began in 1956 when John Lennon (1940-1980) with his fellows formed a group "The Blackjacks", later "The Quarrymen" in honor of their school Quarry Bank. They played sciffle, the British homegrown kind of rock. During one of their first concerts Lennon met 15 years old Paul McCartney who stroke John with his knowledge of accords and the lyrics of the latest songs. Later Paul's friend George Harrison (1943-2001) added to them. These three were the backbone of the band while for other participants of the Quarymen rock was just their cup of tea.

At the end of 1959 Stuart Sutcliffe, an inexperienced artist, joined the band. But the problem of the group was the absence of a constant drummer and that led them make joky competitions inviting the audience on the stage as the drummers. The name "Beatles" appeared in April 1960. But there is no exact answer who created this word. According to the memories of the members of the group the authors of this neologism were Sutcliff and Lennon whose idea was to make the name having at the same time different meanings. In 1960 The Beatles were invited to Hamburg at the nightclub "Indra" and "Kaiserkeller". In Hamburg the band met the students of the local art college - Astrid Kirchherr and Klaus Voormann. Sooner Kirchherr was engaged to Sutcliffe and it was she who suggested them moptop hairstyle and corduroy suit with no lapels. On their returning to Liverpool the Beatles turned to be one of the most active and ambitious local groups. After their second tour to Hamburg Sutcliff decided to stay there with Kirchherr and stop his musical career. In a year he died of a brain hemorrhage. Since 1961 the Beatles began to perform at a Liverpool club "Cavern", where they had their first real success. With the help of their first manager Brian Epstein, EMI producer George Martin signed the Beatles to EMI's Parlaphone label. George Martin had problems with Pete Best and later he was replaced by Ringo Starr, a drummer from "Rory Storm and the Hurricanes". Their first single "Love Me Do" was released on October 5, 1962. The first album, recorded in one day, had the same title as their single "Please Please Me" and headed the national pop chart for six months. October 13, 1963 is supposed to be the birthday of a crazy phenomenon called "Beatlemania".The Beatles performed at "Palladium", from where their concert was broadcasted by "Sunday Night At The London Palladium". The heat of "Beatlemania" is due to their trip to the USA, where the single "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was the first in American magazine “Cash Box”. The Beatles participated in “Ed Sullivan Show” twice, having set a record in gathering 73 million audiences. After releasing the musical film and the album “A Hard Day’s Night” an outstanding American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein called Lennon and McCartney “the best composers from the time of Schubert”.

The last album “Let It Be” was released on May 8, 1970. On May 20 there was none of the Beatles on the first night of a documentary “Let It Be” because of the breakup of the band. In his interview McCartney declared that the group no more exists, saying that he had no pity about it and didn’t accept Alien Klein as a manager.
