The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The group consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They are widely regarded as the most influential band in popular music and played a central role in the development of 1960s counterculture and in elevating popular music to the status of an art form. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock ’n’ roll, their sound incorporated classical influences and traditional pop, while also exploring folk, Indian music, psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the Beatles transformed many aspects of the music industry and were frequently portrayed as leaders of the era’s youth and sociocultural movements. Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the Beatles evolved from Lennon’s earlier group, the Quarrymen, and built their reputation performing in clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg beginning in 1960. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, who had played together since 1958, went through several drummers before Ringo Starr joined in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein shaped them into a professional act, while producer George Martin developed their recordings, greatly expanding their success after they signed with EMI and achieved their first hit, “Love Me Do”, in late 1962. As their popularity surged into the fan frenzy known as “Beatlemania”, the group became known as the Fab Four. By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars and had reached unprecedented levels of critical and commercial success.
