The Greatest Bands/Artists of All Time
THE BEATLES
HISTORY:
The Beatles all began in March 1975, when John Lennon and his friend Pete Shotton started a group called "The Black Jacks". They soon changed their name to "The Quarry Men". They just did gigs in their town. In July 1957, The Quarry Men had just finished performing at St. Peter's Parish Church in Liverpool when they were introduced to a guitarist named James Paul McCartney. Pete Shotton asked Paul to join the band on July 20. Paul joined the band, and The Quarry Men made their debut performance on October 18. Paul and George Harrison were students at "Liverpool Institute High School for Boys". On Feb 6 1958, Paul introduced George to John. George convinced John to allow him to join The Quarry Men. On Aug. 29, 1958, John accepted George into The Quarry Men, which then turned into seven members, before ending in 1959 because of a lack of gigs.

Then he and fellow group member Ken Brown got together with John and Paul for some performances at the Casbah Club, from Aug 29 1959 until Oct 10, when a financial dispute ended their relationship with the club and Ken Brown.

wow, gonsfootball, this is amazing! i am a huge zeppelin fan, just like you. i also really appreceate the beatles and elvis. i had to do a history project on something that changed history form 1900 to present, and this is a GREAT resource (i chose to do bands as my topic). i thought that i knew just about everything that there is to know about led zeppelin and the beatles, but once i read your essay, i realized that i knew less than nothing compared to you. i also knew NOTHING AT ALL about elvis except that he had really cool hair. lol. this essay helped SOOOOO much! i got a 100% on the essay that i wrote about these bands (i cited your essay obviously, and i didn't copy and paste any of it. i only used it, and put it in my own words). this is a very reliable source, and i know that all of this information is correct because i got a 100% on my essay, i had my art teacher look it over (my art teacher is a music wiz. he knows literally everything there is to know about every band) and he said that it was all accurate, and i looked it up. i love how you wrote such detailed historys of the bands, and stated the achivments that they accomplished. what grade did you get on this? probably a 100%, but even if you didn't get a 100%, you definetly deserve a 1000%! this is so awesome!
p.s., sorry this comment is so long, but the essay is soooooooo good, that there's so much good stuff to say about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s.s. can you tell me what grade you got on this? because i REALLY want to know. :)
