Question
What events durning 1960-1970 influnced the Beatles?

Answer
I believe this may be a homework question, Mena, and it's really too enormous to answer here. I've started some research for you at Google:-

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=What+influenced+the+Beatles%3F&btnG=Search&...

Something you may not have found is the political influence of the two most prominient 1960s British politicians: Prime Minister Harold Wilson (socialist) & Edward Heath (opposition), so here's a useful URL for you: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=What+influenced+the+Beatles%3F++Harold+...

Use Google - it's amazing what you find. ;o)

Regards,

Chalk.

There was something in Paul's voice when he sang the phrase "Love Me Do" at the end of the verses that told me everything in Pop was going to change, and it did! I left my first band (which I had founded), partly because the other members thought I was a bit weird to want to change our style to reflect that of the Beatles! As a rock musician, I appeared with them in the ABC Theatre in Blackpool, England in 1963, and my songwriting has always been influenced by theirs.
