A nice recording from The Beatles before Beatlemania would take over the USA. In a few months the band would make their Ed Sullivan debut and The States would never be the same. Soon long hair and Beatle Boots would be the fashion. The world of Pop Music wouldn't be the same either. Before The Beatles bands were backing groups to singers, such as Buddy Holly and The Crickets, but The Beatles were a group, every one was considered a star in the band and no one was expendable. When it was suggested to the band to dump Stuart Sutcliffe the only replay was He's a Beatle. John Lennon was taken from us by a crazed fan who's name I haven't said since it happened. On December 8, 1980 John Lennon was returning home from a recording session when a cowardly gunman shot him 4 times in the back, he was pronounced dead on arrival to the hospital. He was only 40 years old. In 1997 George Harrison was diagnosed with throat cancer, which they thought had been successfully treated. George's cancer nightmares were only beginning. In May 2001 George had to have a cancerous growth removed from his lung. He then underwent treatment for a brain tumor in June of 2001. In November of 2001 it was determined that Georges lung cancer had spread to his brain. George Harrison died November 29, 2001, he was 58.
