The Beatles Great Britain's music is one of the greatest representatives of the world music industry, originating from English church music and ancient and traditional folk music. The music of a bit rock group from Liverpool (United Kingdom) “The Beatles” created in 1960 travelled from the British Isles to Europe, America and other countries, inspiring others and creating new original music, giving a fresh impulse for the development. Since the 1960 's as a result of so called “British invasion”, which was headed by The Beatles (John Lennon, Paul Mc Cartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) provided an important place among the global development of pop and rock music (a form of popular music that evolved from Rock’n’roll and pop music during the mid and late 1960s). The electric guitar and overdo vocal has added. It rapidly spread to Europe and The Beatles was one of the first rock music distributors. By April 1964 they were not only number 1 in the Billboard Top 100, but they were also number 2, 3, 4 and 5 Starr were ready to take on the world. You can see that the Beatles inspired unparalleled scenes of mass emotion. The phenomenon was called Beatlemania. Fortunately, you don’t need a huge vocabulary to understand the Beatles early output as the titles suggest sons like Please Please Me, From Me To You, She Loves You, use incredibly simply language. There was hardly a person in the 60-s who didn’t sing their songs. The records of this group were regularly Number One hits all over the world and everybody knew the names of the “Fab Four” as they were called sometimes: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Most of their energetic and powerful songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was John Lennon, a rebel at heart, who founded the group in 1960. At the beginning of his music career, he rebelled against “parents’ tiny slow music”, in the 70-s – against the Vietnam War and injustice. His recording “Give Peace a Chance” in 1970 contributed greatly to the course of peace. Unfortunately, that year the group broke up. Ten years later, in 1980, the idol of millions of fans, John Lennon, was murdered. But Paul McCartney continues to be an active creative musician. You probably know that he composed not only songs like “Yesterday”, “Mull of Kintyre”, but classical pieces including “Liverpool Oratorio” (1991) and “Standing Stone”. He has also established a college for the performing arts in Liverpool, thus helping young and promising musicians to find their creative way. The Beatles had not only taken America by storm, but they had also established Liverpool as the pop music capital of the world. The Beatles’ has influenced the English language. Up to this point pop music in Britain mostly copied the music coming out of the United States, whose dominance of popular culture was taken for granted. British bands sang American songs, using American words and American accent. All this changed with the Beatles.
