The Correlation Of Commercial Success And True Artistry

One way the Beatles changed the world of music is their hair, it was called the Mop-top but they called it “Arthur”. The mop-top is “It is a straight cut – collar-length at the back and over the ears at the sides, with a straight fringe (bangs)”. At first people thought it was dumb but eventually realized it was awesome but it was still mocked by adults. The mop-top was first created in the 1950’s when someone named Jürgen Vollemer left his hair down after he went swimming, and he didn’t want to comb it. Jürgen liked this style on him so the next day he recreated it and the mop-top was born (at this time it wasn’t called anything). Voller moved to Paris in 1961 and Paul McCartney and John Lennon both ran into him and liked it, so they asked him if he could cut their hair like that. Soon enough Ringo Starr and George Harrison had the hair cut. Because of the Beatles

The Beatles are an English rock band that became one of the most iconic bands in history. All four of the band members of the Beatles John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ring Starr were born in Liverpool in the early 1940’s. During this time England was in the midst of WWII and they were deemed as “war babies”. The shambles that England was left in cultivated skiffle from the U.S. which was a form of music that made it fairly easy for nearly anyone to create a band from very simple instruments like jugs and guitars. This resulted in the boys joining in this new Liverpool craze. The simple manner of skiffle attributed to George Harrison starting up his career after he

Throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s, a wave of new musical movements by independent record labels and new artists emerged in the United States. This movement is captured in the stories of those label creators and owners, and in the turbulent journey through their successes and failures. The first emergence was fueled by multiple factors: competitive economic circumstances, up-and-coming local musical talent in conjunction with the independent labels and studio owners, and the commercially viable musical interest and curiosity of consumers in these local artists. An article poses another causative factor that makes sense: when rock and roll

The Beatles have influenced people in ways never dreamed of. Their style of music changed the way the music industry had worked; most groups now perform their own original material, which was very uncommon in the late fifties and early sixties. The Beatles’ constant

This jaw dropping band consisted of great John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo. Soon after forming the band and naming it the ‘The Beatles.’ The Beatles were soon known as the foremost and most influential act of rock era. They were not afraid to play music differently and to change the sound and tone of their songs. The Beatles experimented in many different genres ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements in innovative ways.

They were professional musicians, played extremely well, and had the look, but lyrically in the early years, the Beatles had room to grow and change. They were the good boys of rock n roll, although eventually they began to change what they wrote about, how they wrote it, and started to think more intellectually and socially while writing

Former Rolling Stone editor who went by the name Robert Greenfield compared the Beatles to Picasso, as "artists who broke through the constraints of their time period to come up with something that was unique and original ... In the form of popular music, no one will ever be more revolutionary, more creative and more distinctive ..." The. Beatles started the British Invasion. They also became a global phenom. Since the early 1920s, The United States had some of the most popular music heard all around the world.

During the 1960s, America was going through many changes, civil rights was at a high, men were landing on the moon, and the Vietnam War was raging on. While all this was happening, four men from Liverpool, England were changing American culture more than any American had ever thought possible. These four men were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr; they were better known as The Beatles. As Diane Schomberg stated, “Nobody in America was doing things or making music like the Beatles” (Schomberg). The Beatles are an influential rock band because they changed fashion, television and movies, and music.

When one thinks of The Beatles, some concepts that usually come to mind are the hippies, psychedelic drugs such as marijuana, and their timeless classics such as Blackbird, Yesterday, and Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. While these associations are founded in truth, the Beatles are also closely connected with the politics of that time. Their song lyrics advocate for peace and harmony in a world that was at war. The way they dressed, and the length of their hair showed a disdain for the social norms of the time. Their greatest influences were famous for straying away from the normal to find art in the unventured. The Beatles were created in a time of unpredictability, but their music will outlive them.

Who were the Beatles, some young people might ask to their parents. They would say the Beatles were one of the best bands ever. They competed with The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. They sold out huge shows every girl screamed when they saw them. The Beatles easily became number one and it got even easier went they got a new name

The longevity of the Beatles also is fascinating. The 1960s were a tumultuous time in American history, given the Vietnam War, the Sexual Revolution, and the shadow of the Cold War. It was a time in the United States where the youth was in revolt, and desperately wanted to break from what they saw as a ideologically and culturally stifling older generation. The baby boomers of the time were far more open than their parents and grandparents to more diverse musical tastes. The Beatles reflected this sentiment perfectly as their style of music changed across the 1960s to reflect the current culture. An obvious example of this is their clothing, from when they started in suits and ties to their far more flamboyant colored clothing, bell bottom pants, and shades.

The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era. They were able to conquer and influence pop culture with their music. Initially they affected the post-war baby boom generation of Britain and the W.S. during the 1960s, and later the request of the world. Certainly they were the most successful group, with global sales exceeding 1.3 billion albums. During the sixties, The Beatles using revolutionary ideas in their music inspired a generation of young adults across the globe to look at life from their perspective.

It was 1967 when the Beatles became huge. Everyone, mostly the elders, were confused on how a band can become so big in such little time (Aronowitz 1). The six band members, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best were constantly on a plane going to perform somewhere. They were the most known band at the time and their fans, “Beatlemania” showed nothing but love and support for them. These six talented men were completely run out of energy by the end of each week but they could not let their fans down. There was no time to take breaks. It was the beginning of 1963 when the Beatles got announced to be the first American recording industry to sell over millions of albums (Gilmore 4). Many years passed on and the Beatles were still performing and making the world a happier place for their fans. America always said the Beatles were gonna engulf new generations, and they figured out it was true when it was the end of 2012 and they sold $71 million on music (Brown 1). It was not just regular music, it was meaningful music that the Beatles wrote to share the message that there is so much good in life you just need to live to find it. Shortly after the Beatles sold millions of their albums it was said that the president just got murdered. After the band and the rest of America heard about the devastating death of John F Kennedy, the Beatles came to the conclusion it was time to make a change even though no one knew if it was a rumor or not (Gilmore 4).

The Beatlemania was a natural side effect of an activity of the most rewarded, discussed and the most influential musician group in the sixties all over the world. It could be easily described as a mindless frenzy emerging wherever the group took their steps. Without this fuss, four eccentric guys could not have been known as The Beatles.
