The Beatles

The Beatles you say but they weren’t an American band. They certainly were not but they were adopted by a social culture that had a message to spread and The Beatles were very much in tune to that social message in their music. In fact The Beatles were the perfect medium for the general population to voice their protest about politics, social unrest, philosophy, and every other issues that was plaguing the 1960s. The Beatles very quickly captured the minds and hearts of millions of people around the globe.

And they didn’t just capture their hearts for a day or a week or a year. They captured their hearts for a lifetime. 50 years later and The Beatles music is still selling! Perhaps it was the simplicity of their lyrics and the clearness of their message. “We Can Work It Out,” or “Let It Be,” or two perfect examples out of many where The Beatles brought forward a message that it was time for the world to rethink how we lived.

The Beatles also encouraged us to dream and to dream big. The gave us the courage to believe we could change the world, that we could make it a better place for the future, and that we could achieve peace throughout the world.

One must stop and wonder how this amazing group of four men actually impacted the population and the world of that day. Have you ever wondered how many peoples destiny was changed as a result of their music?

It’s quite a tale. The parent’s of the 60’s hated The Beatles and what they stood for after all they were pushing their children towards social change. It was like a Music Revolution in America. But as the parents of the 60’s became the grandparents of the 70’s the entire social climate had changed and by the 1970s The Beatles were the medicine that helped heal the wounds of war and civil unrest around the world.

Beatlemania exploded in Britain during October of 1963 when they appeared at the London Palladium live on television. There popularity was sewn up nicely in Britain but Capital Records and other record producers still refused to issue any of the singles because in no time in history has a British Band been successful except for the occasional one off.

It was Ed Sullivan who brought the Beatles to live television in the United States in February of 1964 and it was watched by 73 million people. You could say the rest was history as beatlemania swept through North America.

Throughout their career the theme of their music never wavered. They continued to pass on a message about love and peace, a message they spread around the world. Today Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and John Lennon are fondly remembered around the world and there message perhaps even more understood today and The Beatles beat goes on.
