THE BEATLES: YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND MY OTHER FAVORITES Posted: 17 Nov 2011 11:49 AM PST The Beatles The Beatles were an English rock band, active throughout the 1960s and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Formed in Liverpool, by 1962 the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). You Can't Do That.. Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as "Beatlemania", transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. They came to be perceived as the embodiment of ideals of the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. I'll Cry Instead Initially a five-piece line-up of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums), they built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over a three-year period from 1960. Sutcliffe left the group in 1961, and Best was replaced by Starr the following year. Run for Your Life Molded into a professional outfit by their manager, Brian Epstein, their musical potential was enhanced by the creativity of producer George Martin. They achieved mainstream success in the United Kingdom in late 1962, with their first single, "Love Me Do". Gaining international popularity and acquiring the nickname "Fab Four" the following year, they toured extensively until 1966. During their subsequent "studio years", they produced what critics consider some of their finest material including the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), widely regarded as a masterpiece. Ask Me Why... After their break-up in 1970, the band members all found success in independent musical careers. Lennon was murdered outside his home in New York City in 1980, and Harrison died of cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain active.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PATSY CLINE TUNE? Posted: 17 Nov 2011 09:10 AM PST Travis Small on Deviant Art This morning I popped up a Patsy Cline song on my I tunes that I love... "Leavin on Your Mind" I posted this video on Facebook and a lot of people wrote in their Patsy favorites... So I thought I would share a couple of their choices too. Phyllis S. I love her . . . my favorite song of her's is "She's Got You". Lelia R. I could never single out just one because I kind of worship her, but there is something about "Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray" that really gets me, so poignant.
