Music Prompt – The Beatles

The band the Beatles were formed in July 6, 1957 by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in Liverpool England. John Lennon was 16 at the time playing with his skiffle group The Quarry-men at a church garden party. Paul McCartney 15 at the time was in the crowd watching John perform. The Quarry-men were performing “Come Go With Me” by The Del-Vikings. Though Lennon did not know the words, he adapted lyrics from the blues songs instead. Doing this Lennon impressed McCartney and McCartney met Lennon after the set. Later, Lennon remembered being not sure about partnering up with such a good musician, who might question him leading the group. After the group formed in the same year Stuart Sutcliffe joined the band and has been called the fifth beatle in the next year George Harrison decided to join the band. Then in August 1960 Pete Best joined the band to be the lead drummer. In 1962 the Beatles decided to replace Pete Best the original fourth beatle with Ringo Starr another good drummer. After the success of the Beatles in 1969 John Lennon told the other Beatles privately that he was leaving the group and in April 10th 1970 Paul McCartney said that he was leaving the Beatles. This was the end of the Beatles and they would go down in history for one of the best bands to ever live.
