There were many great groups in the sixty's however there was only one super group,"The Beatles", John,Paul,George,and Ringo and who would not know them. Yes, it all started in 1964 on the Ed Sullivan Show in New York when the Beatles first invaded America. "Love me Do" helped get them started but "She Loves You" is the song which put them on top. Throughout the early sixties they were the group which no one could beat, hit after hit. Then came 1966 with Sgrt Peppers, the album which changed music at the time and still is one of the all time greatest albums. From this point on, the Beatles only seemed to get better each album especially during the Apple years. Anyone who lived through this era can remember saying ,Did you get the new Beatle Album? They seemed to advance music with each album. Finally, in 1971 the greatest group disbanded. All of the members went on to record many solo albums.
