The Beatles One of the most famous ensembles of the rock-

and-roll era, the Beatles greatly influenced the culture and music of the 1960s and beyond. The band began to take shape in Liverpool, England, in 1957, when John Lennon invited Paul McCartney to join his band the Quarry Men. Within a year George Harrison had been added to the group. In 1960 the band took the name the Beatles, and Ringo Starr signed on as the drummer in 1962. The Beatles stayed together until 1970, creating a sophisticated and varied sound that fans continue to enjoy. This picture was taken in 1963.
