The Garden fete, that was held at St Peter's church, Woolton in Liverpool that year was the starting point of the meeting of two young boys, James Paul McCartney and john Winston Lennon. It was the first meeting of the partnership that made the legendary songwriting duo for the band the Beatles, creating hits such as hard days night(she loves you) to let it be from the 1960s to the end of 1969, where they like to call them self as 'Lennon-McCartney' ; meet each other for the first time formally in both their lives.

The meeting of the two boys ended with john learning how to tune his guitar, john learning how to play chords on his guitar, john being absolutely blown away and star-struck by the talents and charisma that Paul McCartney had attracted him.
By the end of the day, lennon was walking back home with a friend of his, refusing to take the bus back home as a fellow bandmate asked Lennon, what did he think of 'that kid,paul'. Lennon replied him that he liked him(Paul) and thought he was really good, the questions then turned around into john asking whether they should ask Paul to join the band with him, but john already knew the answer he needed before needing a reply from his bandmate.
Their meeting on 6th July 1957 was a huge change towards music history. The day McCartney met Lennon, the day Lennon was impressed by the skills of McCartney, the day McCartney formally knew Lennon, everything. The next few years were filled with both of them bonding and working together on music, commonly known from the band the Beatles, where both of them takes credits under the name 'lennon-mccartney' or
Their history is a long winding road with a few hills along the way and the birth of the is just as interesting. The Beatles were British and was first known as the Quarry Men. Paul McCartney joined the Quarry Men when he was fifteen years old. John Lennon and Paul got to know a great deal about each other and became good friends, which is good because John is the head of the band. They were inspired by the Crickets and started to write songs in Buddy’s style, which was the leader of the Crickets. Paul and
Next came the co-genius of this phenomenon, Paul McCartney. Born on June 18, 1942 to Jim and Mary Patricia Monin, Paul was the eldest of two boys in a very close-knit family. He first attended Stockton Wood Road Primary School but was soon switched to Joseph Williams Primary School at Gateacre because their mother insisted on the best education for her boys. Paul used to love to listen to the radio and was very influenced by his dad who played in a little band but eventually had to give it up because he "got false teeth and couldn't play the trumpet properly anymore." John's mother died of breast cancer when he was only fourteen, which devastated the family and launched John into spending some of his time writing songs, which would later be the pay off of his life.

When the Beatles released their album “With the Beatles” on November 22, 1963, nobody could have really realized the unquestionable impact that they would have on people, the music business, and how people thought in general. Still shocked and in mourning from John F. Kennedy being shot, American’s needed an outlet for their sadness, and it seems that the Beatles were the answer to the unthinkable times happening in America. Throughout the 60’s, the Beatles grew and changed just as American’s were during this time, and if we think about it, we really don’t know if American’s were changing because of the Beatles or of the Beatles were changing because of America. Whether the answer is one or the other, it is still certain that the Beatles, whether
In the 1960's four young men, John, George, Paul and Ringo, emerged on the British music scene as a newly founded group, the Beatles.

John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 in Liverpool, England (“John” 1). At the time, World War II was going on (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 14). His parents, Alfred “Alf” Lennon and Julia Lennon divorced when he was a child (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 21) and he had to move in with his aunt and uncle (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 25). In elementary school, he played guitar and harmonica, always enjoying music (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 32). The first song he ever learned was “That’ll be the Day” by Buddy Holly (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 33). As music took over his life, John got distracted and his aunt told him that he could not make a living by playing guitar (Burlingame, John Lennon: Imagine 36). When John was teenager, he started writing and composing music (Canale 1) as well as drawing and writing books. He wrote two books, “In His Own Write” and “A Spaniard in the Works” (Watson 2). Similarly to Lennon, another musician got their inspiration at a young age. Kurt Donald Cobain was born on February 20, 1967 in Aberdeen, Washington to Wendy and Don Cobain (Burlingame, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well… 11). He came from a musical family and was introduced to music at an early age. When he was three years old, he wrote his first song, “Corn on the Cops.” When he started playing guitar, he held it backwards because he was left-handed, and played popular Beatles’ songs like “Hey Jude” (Burlingame, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well… 12). He was fourteen years old when he received his first electric guitar (Burlingame, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well… 18). Like John, Kurt was involved with the visual arts and enjoyed drawing, whittling, and painting (Burlingame, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well… 13). The two musicians’ background allowed them to prosper in the future.
