The Beatles were famous from the very beginning but they didn’t necessarily try to be. It just seemed to happen. They were not to know that their brand of music, their presence and their vision was to lead to fame to an extent the world had never before seen.
The Beatles conquered America, without really trying; the music spoke for them, attracting the attention of the world at large, most of whom had never heard anything like it.
Their legacy lives on; not a single song or songwriter today can deny the influence of the Beatles’ music. They may try to deny it, may not even remember the Beatles, or even heard of them, but the influence is there, still the same. People buy songs that have been written by Lennon-McCartney, but they simply don’t realise it. The magic lives on.
They split in the 70’s, but still cause so much controversy today that their names can be heard in every household. Several state-of-the-art albums were produced by George Martin, who seemed to have an affinity and empathy for getting the best from the Liverpudlians. Recently, a reworked Beatles album soared to the top of the charts, and George’s son had a large part in tweaking the magic out of ancient Beatles material.
So, they live on; the music, the names, the places – Penny Lane is a real place, as are the Strawberry Fields that were part of the music.
