"The Beatles" is the only band in the world,which was honored to have its international day. According to the decision of UNESCO, starting from 2001, January 16, the day of the first release of the collective on the stage, becomes the day of celebration of the group all over the world.
Who are these musicians, in honor of whom was establishedInternational Day? The Beatles is a group of four members. John Lennon (1940-1980) and Paul McCartney (born 1942) are its founders. A little later, George Harrison joined them (1943-2001). The last, in two years, the team was joined by Ringo Starr (1940-2012). It can be added that sometimes three more musicians appeared in the band: Jimmy Nikol, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best, but the legendary Liverpool four were the participants listed above. In this composition, the group lasted 7 years: from 1963, when the world fame came to them, until 1970. Together, 13 albums were released, which included 211 songs, and each became a hit
Day of the Beatles - January 16.On this date, there was a discovery in Liverpool, on Matthew Street, 10, in 1957 by Alan Sinter of the new club "The Cavern" ("The Cave"), which was performed by very young and unknown John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison .
In favor of January 16 says one more fact frombiography of the collective. On this day, in 1964, the magazine "Cashbox" placed the song "I want to hold your hand" on the first line of the hit parade, because in just 10 days the single sold a million copies. Twice in the creative biography meets the same date - than not an occasion to celebrate the World Day of the Beatles on January 16?
The birthplace of the legendary Beatles Liverpool - a greatport city, which thanks to sailors penetrated new products from around the world, which could not but affect the local music. Absorbing the world's achievements in rock music, the band formed its own style. "The Beatles" loved Elvis Presley, but their work was purely original. Their producer and sound engineer George Henry Martin, although he himself was not inclined to be considered the fifth beat, contributed to the popularity of the band's songs. He combined various styles, used innovative developments in the field of sound recording, used symphonic and psychedelic music, and also produced all the albums of the group.
World insanity began after the release ofIn 1963, the song "I Want To Like You" ("Please Please Me"). Worldwide, 1 billion of its records were sold, no one else succeeded. There are other records, not beaten to this day. This magnificent four is really worthy of its own holiday, such as the World Day of the Beatles.
Singles (discs with one song) of the group 20 times in America occupied the first places in the lists of hits.
But in many respects the four from Liverpoolremains at the Olympic heights. If you do not take into account the true love of millions of people belonging to several generations and the contribution they made to the world musical culture, then only on the above-listed records the magnificent four deserves their personal holiday established by UNESCO, which was named the International Day of the Beatles ".
And before and after this musical band wasmany popular and successful artists, for example Madonna. But none of them fell short of the Liverpool Quartet, because the Beatles are not just a group, it is an epoch-making phenomenon of a planetary scale. Without exaggeration in the 60-70s absolutely in all countries of the world hundreds of thousands of people lived by this four, caught every word of them, copied every gesture, laughed at jokes, sobbed under the stage and created other follies. Thousands of analysts have studied this mental state of the masses, called Beatlemania. No other performer has held out until the establishment of a dedicated festival, such as the World Day of the Beatles. This group deserved it, because even now, decades after its collapse, up to 2,000 people work in the industry of the magnificent four. Although some experts argue that the decline of this subculture is taking place.
