From 1960 to 1970, there were many different bands starting. Most of these bands are still remembered by many people to this very day. Here are two that you might recognise, along with a little information about them.
The Beatles started in 1960.John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were all in the popular band. They made many hits including Love Me Do, Twist And Shout and Yellow Submarine. Although in September 1969 John Lennon privately informed the other Beatles that he was leaving the group, there was no public acknowledgement of the break-up until Paul McCartney announced on 10 April 1970 he was leaving the Beatles. All these stars are still alive and some even still singing, all except for John Lennon. Unfortunatly for John, he was shot on December 8, 1980.
