20th century. In a course of 8 years, they changed not only rock
and roll, but also the face of all music forever. the band went
through several members, the more noteworthy of these would be

1940, Edinburgh, Scotland, dead April 10, 1962, Hamburg,
Germany - (on bass guitar) and Pete Best - born 1941, Liverpool,
England - (the drummer before Ringo).

2. Their appearances in every show were always excellent and
their fashions in clothes and hairstyles influenced a
generation of young people. Most of The Beatles songs were
written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Their lyrics
were sweet, simple and memorable. Their first recordings "
Love Me Do " (1962) and "Please Please Me" (1963) reached
the highest position in the British charts.
