The Beatles!

            Many people know of The Beatles. They were a rock band from Liverpool, England created in 1960. The band consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals) who replaced Pete Best (drums) in 1962. Also another musician Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) who was originally in the band but left in 1961.  They had many big hits. One of the most famous albums is Yellow Submarine which was also made into an animated movie in 1968. I even sang and enjoyed singing I'll Follow the Sun and From Me to You at a vocal concert. My mom's favorite song is All You Need Is Love from their Magical Mystery Tour album. They are actually the best-selling band in the world. They have had more number-one albums on the UK charts and have held the top spot longer than any other musical act. But they broke up in 1970. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr all released solo albums in 1970. Then on December 8, 1980 Lennon was shot and killed in front of The Dakota, New York City by Mark David Chapman. Harrison died of metastatic lung cancer on November 29, 2001. McCartney and Starr still play music. The Beatles were a very great and influential band.
