The Beatles Signed 8 X 10 Picture Card. In the 1960s a new band known as the Beatles burst on the pop music scene and changed it forever. Band members included George Harrison (1943-2001), John Lennon (1940 - 1980), Paul McCartney (1942-), and Ringo Starr (1940-). With the release of three anthologies (collections) in the mid-1990s, the Beatles remain one of the best-selling musical groups of all time. The Beatles came from Liverpool, England, and were originally inspired by the simple guitar-and-washboard style "skiffle" music. Skiffle was a lively type of acoustic (nonelectric) music that used songs from British and American folk and popular music. When the Beatles' bass player, Stu Sutcliffe, decided to leave, McCartney took over that instrument. Upon their return to England, a record shop manager named Brian Epstein approached the band about becoming their manager. Within a year of signing Epstein on as manager, the Beatles gained a recording contract from EMI Records producer George Martin. Drummer Pete Best left the group and a sad-eyed drummer named Richard Starkey, better known as Ringo Starr, joined and the group we know as The Beatles was formed.
