The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960.
The group, whose best-known line-up comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, are
regarded as the most
influential band of all time. They
were integral to the development of 1960s
counterculture and popular music's
recognition as an art form. Rooted in skiffle,
beat and 1950s rock and roll, their
sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways; the band later explored music styles ranging
from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock. As pioneers in
recording, songwriting and artistic presentation, the
Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often
publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements.
Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney,
the Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three
years from 1960, initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass.
The core trio of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, together since 1958, went
through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best,
before asking Starr to join them in 1962. Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act, and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings, greatly expanding their
domestic success after their first hit, "Love Me Do",
in late 1962. As
their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed "Beatlemania",
the band acquired the nickname "the Fab Four", with Epstein, Martin
and other members of the band's entourage sometimes given the informal title of
"fifth Beatle".
By
early 1964, the Beatles were international stars, leading the "British
Invasion" of the United States pop market, breaking numerous
sales records, and inspiring Britain's cultural resurgence. They
soon made their film debut with A Hard Day's
Night(1964). From 1965 onwards, they produced
records of greater complexity, including the albums Rubber Soul(1965), Revolver(1966)
and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band(1967),
and enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles(also
known as "the White Album", 1968) and Abbey Road(1969).
Heralding the album era, their
success elevated the album to be the dominant form of record consumption over singles; they
also inspired a greater public interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern spirituality, and furthered advancements in electronic music, album
art and music videos. In
1968, they founded Apple Corps, a
multi-armed multimedia corporation that continues to oversee projects related
to the band's legacy. After the group's
break-up in 1970, all four members enjoyed
success as solo artists. Lennon was shot and
killed in 1980, and Harrison died of lung
cancer in 2001. McCartney
and Starr remain musically active.
A Hard Day's Night is the third studio album by the
English rock band the Beatles,
released on 10 July 1964 by Parlophone, with
side one containing songs from the soundtrack to their film of the
same name. The American version of the album was
released two weeks earlier, on 26 June 1964 by United
Artists Records, with a different track listing.
In contrast to the Beatles' first two albums, all 13 tracks on A Hard Day's
Night were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney,
showcasing the development of their songwriting partnership.
The album includes the song "A Hard Day's
Night", with its distinctive opening chord, and
"Can't Buy Me Love",
both transatlantic number-one singles for the band. Several of the songs
feature George Harrison playing a Rickenbacker
12-string electric guitar, a sound that was
influential on the Byrds and
other groups in the folk rock movement.
I give her all my
love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her, too
I love her
She gives my
everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars
that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars
that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her.
