註釋No icon of pop music before or since can be said to have been so influential on a generation as the Beatles were on the "Swinging Sixties." By 1965, the worldwide success, the hordes of hysterical fans and the catchy pop songs perfectly captured on seven inch vinyl, guaranteed the Fab Four a place in the history of popular culture. And yet, they were unwilling to stand still and fade into insignificance. The blend of personalities and talents in John, Paul, George, and Ringo fused to produce some of the most sophisticated, innovative, and substantial music i the pop music canon. Unusually in the oftenh fickle world of pop music, they took their fans with them and the protracted break-up of the group, which began when John left in 1969 and ended in the High Court in 1971, was a great blow to millions of their faithful followers. Firmly established as musicians and celebrities all four Beatles forged influential solo careers in a variety of fields: from movies to children's television programs. But through it all they continued to make music: John and George creating and recording until their untimely and tragic deaths; Ringo toured in 2003 with his All Starr Band and Paul completed his "Back in the World" tour in the same year. Since they first burst onto the scene in 1963, the music, loves, lives, and exploits of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr have been recorded in words and pictures. This richly illustrated book charts those years with hundreds of photographs supported by an informative text, in homage to what truly are four fabulous talents. -- from dust jacket.
