I like pop-music. My favourite group is the Beatles. On the 24-th of October 1962,’ Love Me Do’, entered the British top thirty. It was the first single by an unknown gro from Liverpool called the Beatles. It was the first of a number of big hits that would make John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr the most successful group the world has ever known. During the 1960s, the Beatles were always in the news, headlines, films, world tours and sometimes scandal. After a decade of successful music and films, the Beatles finally decided to break up in the early seventies, after public disagreements about money and personalities. Although many fans hoped there would be a reunion throughout the 1970s this became impossible with the tragic murder of John Lennon in New York in 1980. The surviving Beatles are still deeply involved in musical and film projects, but many fans still long for the music of the 60s.
