Beatles VI

many iconic 1960’s bands and musicians, including The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Led Zeppelin, The Beatles were fighting for the growth and popularity of their music to be spread worldwide. It all started when John Lennon, a skilled guitarist, founded a rock and roll band, and joined forces with Paul McCartney, eventually adding many more skilled artists, to call themselves The Beatles. The Beatles went through both troubled and jubilant times, but overall, ended up as a memorable musical…

In 1960, an English rock band was created in Liverpool and they called themselves The Beatles. The members consisted of Paul McCartney (bass), John Lennon (guitar), George Harrison (lead guitar) and Richard Starky better known as Ringo Starr (drums). Their music in the beginning was influenced by skiffle type rock and roll. Later they would tryout other genres such as pop, Indian, psychedellia, folk and even hard rock. Their name became widely spread from all the performances they played in…

In the day, it was rhythm-centric played by both white and black people for just about everyone. (This is the stereotype, this is not always true***) This distinction helps explain why the Elvis, Motown and Beatles eras include so many more popular records than today; people were listening often to the same things. Rock music is so much more serious today, being more focused on the lyrics. I think this has led to a bigger segregation between white and black…

“Success is having to worry about everything in the world, except money”-Johnny Cash. Cash is a singer/songwriter and also a guitarist that was very famous from the mid 1900’s to the 2000’s. He also happens to be an actor that has been in many western films and is also an author. Johnny Cash first developed his love for music at the early age of twelve. As a young boy Johnny had the influence of music all around him. From his mom humming a song while making dinner, to listening to someone…

Sean Diddy Combs, AKA Puff Daddy, is the definition of a mogul. Starting his career as the director of A&R at Uptown Records, he was integral in launching the careers of Mary J. Blige and Jodeci, and later started his own label, Bad Boy Records, which has fostered talent that includes Mariah Carey, Method Man, Boyz II Men, Lil' Kim and more.

To begin with, if the beatles would’ve stayed together, Lennon wouldn’t have been able to talk about world peace in his own sense, he wouldn’t of inspired so many people, he wouldn’t have had made as big of an impact on society as he did. Another reason was that the band was…

Out of all the music I have heard recently, the one that I believe was the best exhibit source for this assignment was “Getting Better” by the Beatles. Unlike the other songs in the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, this one has an indirect tension that is prevalent as the band explores some cheerful, hopeful reminiscences, strung together to create this musical piece. The main anecdote that this song embodies is that of the once hospitalized Ringo Star, who had tonsillitis and…

The relationship between McCartney, Lennon, and Dylan is something that changed the way of music for good. Besides the fact they were all good songwriters apart, when Lennon met McCartney, they were the start of a song writing movement in the industry that changed how people saw artists and song writers – because for once they were one and the same. I think what made their songs so innovated for the time, was how they mixed opinions and sounds through their separate lives, and came together to…
