    One was in 1963, they recorded “Please Please Me” which went to number two on the charts. In November 1963, the group performed for the Queen Mother at the Royal Command Variety Performance. EMI’s American label didn’t release the group’s 1963 records but eventually the company was persuaded to release the Beatles fourth single, “I Want to Hold Your Hand”.

It was marvelous to see how their music reached and touched the hearts of every age, religion, and race of the audience.…
