Beatles

I know there's much blogs or sites that already talked about Beatles,but I try to make another topic about Beatles with my own words.So here they are...

The Beatles are one of the popular rock band as well as the most influential in the modern era. The band consists of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, most of their songs written by Lennon and McCartney. Their popularity so high in the United Kingdom so that in 1963 the press spawned the term "Beatlemania". They also gaining success in the United States and around the world. 

Formed in Liverpool in 1959 with the formation of the early John Lennon (vocals, guitar), Paul Mc Cartney (vocals, guitar), George Harrison (vocals, guitar), Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums). But not long after Stuart Sutcliffe resigned (moved to Germany and married Astrid Kircherr and died there in 1962 due to bleeding in the brain). Then in 1962 Pete Best to pull out of the Beatles, and his position was replaced by Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr.

Manager of The Beatles, Brian Eipstein, was first known this band by the number of requests buyer Beatles LPs in music store. The first time Brian tried to offer the Beatles to Decca Records, a major label record company at that time. Auditions can be obtained, but Decca management believes that the guitar music group had passed it's popular time. Although the four young men to be desperate, Brian finally able to get an audition for them at a record label, Parlophone, which actually is a record company for radio. George Martin, Parlophone manager, agreed, and began recording for the Beatles' first album, titled "Please Please Me". The song Please Please Me and Love Me Do is a mainstay for the album. 

Because off my limitation of English,so that's all I can say about Beatles.Next time I'll post a better version or this topic.Thanks for reading.
