By Jack The Beatles influenced America in many ways. They influenced us by their music and by their peace. In the band there was John Lennon, who met Paul McCartney at a club one night. Then Paul brought along George Harrison, who was amazing at guitar. After a while they found their drummer Ringo Starr. So they had John Lennon playing rhythm guitar. Paul McCartney playing bass. George Harrison at lead guitar and Ringo Starr playing the drums.

They actually became a band in the late 1950’s. In 1962 they recorded their first song, “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You” by John and Paul. They came to New York City in America on February 7, 1964. They had 4,000 screaming fans waiting for them at John F. Kennedy airport. It was Beatle mania! An hour later they completely charmed reporters at a press conference.

Everyone loved the lads from Liverpool when they first came to America. Everyone loved them to the end. They were so popular because they cheered up America after Kennedy’s assassination. The Beatles made so much peace. They were so charming and had such great music. The shaggy haired Beatles were also on the Ed Sullivan show which was a very popular show.

The Fab Four was influenced by a couple of people. Music was going around Liverpool, and sailors had brought back records from America. They brought back records of Elvis Presley, king of rock, Little Richard, who rattled piano, and Chuck Berry, poet of rock. The Beatles were said to be one of the best bands of all time. __ Children's history of the 20th century. __ New York, N.Y: DK Publ., 1999.
