This group was formed in 1960 by John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. It was one of the bands which lead the British Invasion when British music entered the USA.They have been one of the most popular groups of all time and as the Rolling Stone magazine said they were the number one.
Their first record was Please Please Me and it predicted their short but successful career during which they would record twelve albums more which were the most sold in the States according to the Record Industry Association of America with more than one billion sales.
The band split up in 1970 and all of them started a solo career, where some of the new albums like Imagine made them much more money, until Lennon was killed in New York in 1980 and George Harrison died of a cancer in 2001. The others still are alive and known all over the world because everybody has heard something about McCartney´s divorce.
I think they they have succeeded because their music was different from all the others and because the lyrics where all adapted to real life, because there isn´t anybody who cannot speak about a submarine or yesterday, and everybody who wants to listen to the music.
