The Beatles: Medlemmer, musik og kulturel indflydelse

Members: The four members of The Beatles, John, Paul, George and Ringo had a very different background, both socially and musically, but here I will only comment on their relationship with music.

John Winston Lennon:John Winston Lennon was born on 9th October, 1940 in Liverpool, in a home that does not bore the imprint of music. At school John showed no particular interest in music, but he was certainly very creative. When John was 16 years, were Bill Haley's number "Rock around the Clock" a big hit, and the year after Elvis came on the track and it aroused John's musical interest. He got a guitar of his aunt and then he started to experiment with the music, without ever getting any kind of Music. John got his first band, The Quarrymen "in 1956 and the played a music style called skiffle. John Lennon was the leader and Singer of this band and to a celebration in 1957 he met Paul McCartney, who also was a member of "The Quarrymen" With this group actually played both in The Caverns Club in 1957. All of this was the beginning of The Beatles and many people think that the two, John & Paul, was the most musical of the four, at least it was them who wrote the best-known numbers.
