To warm-up, I recommend that you read this publication listening to this song which is one of my favorites :)
The Beatles a cultural movement.
They pushed the youth to express themselves in new ways, they opened a new understanding, they changed music in such a way that all previously unknown musical barriers evolved into other genres, they gave rise to the precedent of Heavy Metal.
Pioneers of psychedelic rock, were the first artists to give concerts in stadiums, this due to the number of attendees, hundreds of phrases, lyrics, and songs are a clear example that the group penetrated in all areas and are a reference in the history of the world.
50 years number one.
The Liverpool band exceeds 1,000 million copies sold between original albums and compilations in all formats, all their albums were number one in the United States and England except for Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour.
27 of his numerous songs reached the top of the singles charts, with Yesterday being the most covered song of all time.
Interestingly, NASA projected the song from Across the Universe towards the pole star, for almost five hundred years the song will sound in space.
They reached number one as soloists.
They are the only ones who, separately, Lennon with Imagine, Harrison with My Sweet Lord, Ringo Starr with Photograph, and McCartney with Band on The Run managed to continue the success of their careers and also obtained first places with their songs.
George, the first musician to give and give a benefit concert: Concert for Bangladesh, is used today throughout the world as an effective method of humanitarian aid.
Retransmitted by satellite.
They participated in the first program in history and seen by millions of people, playing the song All You Need is Love, February 9, 1964, the performance lasted 13 minutes and was seen by 73 million 700 thousand spectators within 23 thousand 240 homes.
Taking the record of the television audience, curiously during that night there were no reports of criminal activity, after this and the two following appearances, the world would not be the same again, the four from Liverpool had started a new era.
Cultural impact.
These musicians with a rebellious look, black leather jackets, jeans, and boots, broke the paradigms of a society divided into layers promoting peace and love, they became the axis that would mark many of the trends of the decade.
In question, the ideological concept with youth themes, The Beatles saved the world from boredom.
Two legends.
The murder of John Lennon helped create a legend. On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman, an unbalanced fan, had traveled from Hawaii and waited all day in front of the musician's residence.
He shot Lennon several times and 37 years later, he alleges that he wanted to be famous and forever bond with his idol, but another legend hides behind another member.
Paul; In 1966 on November 9, after a strong argument with his colleagues, he left the Abbey Road recording studio, driving his Aston-Martin at full speed, did not pay attention to the traffic lights, and was hit by a truck.
He had been so disfigured that it was necessary to go to the dental sample to identify him. Brian Epstein, his manager, managed to prevent the police from making a reference; The Beatles couldn't lose a member of the band at their peak of popularity. A young man named William Campbell, who had a great physical resemblance to Paul was prepared to replace him, but two differences had to be solved before, he did not play bass, he was also straight, but after a few months of training, they returned to perform live.
Can you imagine if the Beatles existed and invested in Bitcoin Cash all the revolution it would bring?
It would be great right!
