The group's success opened the door for other British bands to make their way to America. Bands such as the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Dave Clark Five were soon playing their music to American audiences.
The Beatles were made up by four of the finest musicians to ever play rock music. Their lead singer was Paul McCartney, and drummer Ringo Starr. Both still play to this day. Two of the original members, singers/songwriters, John Lennon, and George Harrison have tragically passed away, but their music lives in American culture to this day. The Beatles have sold more records in the United States than any other country in the world.
