Rock and roll was one of the most influential music of the 1960s. People who listened to music from the 60s and/or grew up during that era say he was the type to listen to. People say the Beatles were as good or better than Elvis Presley. The Beatles are one of the most listened to bands since the 60s. The way they took over the world is unforgettable and astonishing; but as we get older, we will soon forget our past and focus on our future, but we cannot forget what raised us and brought us to this point in life. So, since we had to start somewhere, so did the Beatles. The beginnings and beginnings of The Beatles began in a small bar in Liverpool. The members of the Beatles all belonged to different bands. John Lennon ran into Paul McCartney while playing at a bar and later asked him if he wanted to start a band together. Paul introduced John to George Harrison. John, Paul and George, with the addition of Johns Friend from art school, Stu Sutcliffe and a guitarist named Pete Best, began working in German clubs, where musicians could earn a living playing in strip clubs and low-end places. (Before p. no.) The fourth and final member, Ringo Starr, was added later when they all met while playing at a bar in Hamburg. The remaining members, now called The Silver Beatles, returned to Liverpool, where John and everyone else were going through a difficult time with a pregnant girlfriend. Later, he knew their luck was about to change. Their luck changed when a record store owner named Brian Epstein noticed the Beatles and thought they had something that worked for them. The Beatles began to clean up their tough image, leather jackets for matching suits as Brian lobbied to help their records move from one label to another, without success.
