The 60’s band the ‘Beatles’ stamped their way into the Music Industry history pages with their melodious and addictive wave of music and their love of life. Together these four boys from Liverpool found an amazing synchronicity of sound together.
The members of the band: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Richard Starkey and George Harrison when forming their band, could not have foreseen the enormity of the impact that destiny had in store for their lives.
With all four young men following their love of music on the Liverpool Club circuit in the late 50’s, it was not until 1962 that the unique connection was made of all four members was set in place.
With the vibrations of their first single ‘Love me Do’ released, the band called the ‘Beatles’ was born.
Separately they were all creative geniuses; collectively they took the world by storm.
John Lennon will be remembered for his inspirational and at times cheeky activist approach to upholding peace in the world today. Even after the ‘Beatles went their separate ways in the music industry, followers and fans of his music still deeply respect his concepts.
His first wife Cynthia Lennon captures Johns’ early life beautifully, in a book she had published in 1978: ‘A Twist of Lennon’.
With his tragic death in 1980, John Lennon touched a chord in the hearts of millions, by proclaiming the dire importance of values beyond that of a capitalistic nature.
We love you John.
George Harrison will be remembered for his unique input into the world famous band, his brilliant solo production work, and his joint efforts with other prominent artists and bands; one being the Travelling Willburys.
His beliefs in the world today were strong and poignantly evident in his recording of the song ‘It’s Alright’. It leaves us imbued with a sense of what really matters in a lifetime.
With a strong depth of character and his leaning toward spiritual values, he was often referred to as the ‘Dark Horse’.
His death in 2001 was a tremendous loss in the music industry and his world wide fans. George possessed an inner radiance which touched the minds and souls of millions.
His genuine depth of spiritual value, seen in many of the song recordings, one such being: ‘My Sweet Lord’. His essence and faith in spirituality lives forever in the hearts of those that respected his values.
We love you George.
Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr)
A brilliant drummer and the final selection for the rhythm and tempo which would form one of the world’s greatest bands: The Beatles.
His complex style of drumming was said to be admired by another world famous drummer: Phil Collins from the band Genesis. Apparently Phil was influenced by Ringo’s techniques, and his vast ability to set the tempo.
His stage name says it all. He is a star. With magnetic appeal and a sensational joking character, he never fails to draw fans world wide.
For the ‘Beatles’, Ringo was not just the beat, rhythm and sparkle, he was the one that got the crowds dancing.
His attempts at song writing despite set backs prove astonishing, and, the one no-one will ever forget is “Yellow Submarine’.
Ringo, you put the pizzazz into people. You are the get up and go the world needs.
Paul McCartney
After finding success with the ‘Beatles’, and his astonishing writing an composing ability, Paul has gone on to fill the world with his love through his endeavors with his band ‘Wings’ and with the help of his former wife Linda.
Paul has a true persona which unites others and allows people to feel at one with themselves and their surroundings. This is noticeably evident in his Tour of Russia.
His sheer determination and talent has carved him a path, not merely through his creative ability and his voice, but through his magnificent ability to express and be received by millions of adoring fans all over the world today.
He is one of presence, and feeling this through watching him perform only serves to re-enforce his gift of expression of love in the world today.
Final thoughts:
Together these four men captured a world-wide audience which would span, to date, five generations. The ‘Beatles’ timeless musical creations are a hall mark of success, the bands’ achievements will live on forever, for future generations to enjoy.
A lifetime of contributing both individually and as the ‘Beatles’ forms a universal message to the world. It started with a little song called ‘All you need is love’.
