Beatles were at that time. They were four boys from the north of England and none
of them had any training in music. They started performing and recording songs by
black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started
writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles
changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from
songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and
singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first
hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live
performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them - their fans
were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenir!
However, today some of their songs remain as famous as they were when they first
came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you
ask them.
