Roman Historique sur les Beatles
Mercredi matin. Je roule sur l'autoroute depuis quelques minutes, songeur. Je n'ai plus de lave-glace et il ne pleut pas assez pour que les essuie-glaces nettoient le calcium qui s'accumule lentement sur mon pare-brise.Beatles Timeline

Engelhardt received by the Canadian Abuse Prevention Foundation, "Re: Roy Frederick Young", dated November 21, 1996The Beatles accession to the Toppermost of the Poppermost began in 1960 when they headed over to Hamburg Germany to work regularly in nightclubs. Working 8 hour shifts, with another band…sometimes Ringo’s band “Rory Storm and the Hurricane” helped them to focus their stage act and dramatically increase their repertoire. This included the writing of their own songs, initially to make sure they would have material to play when they traveled with other bands. As most Rock bands were in England at this time in history, the Beatles were a cover band, offering their versions of Carl Perkins, Larry Williams, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and many other artists songs. After moderate success on the British Melody Maker Chart during 1962 with a Lennon/McCartney original composition, “Love Me Do” (it reached # 21), the Beatles had their first NUMBER 1 hit with "Please, Please Me" in March of 1963.

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll , the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock , often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. Their enormous popularity first emerged as " Beatlemania "; as their songwriting grew in sophistication by the late 1960s, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions .
