108F  What Made the Beatles Great?
One session
Instructor: Chris Brown
Monday, 9:40—11:05, Apr. 13

This presentation answers the question posed in the course title—What Made the Beatles Great? The instructor describes the reasons the Beatles' music was so different from the rock and roll being played on the radio leading up to 1964, why they became so popular in the U.S. so quickly, why they remained a top musical and entertainment act for seven solid years, how they helped create the huge live rock concerts that are so common today, and what led to their break-up in 1970.
Chris Brown is a self-proclaimed Beatles' expert and is well known as such among friends, family, and anyone who gives him half a chance to talk about them. Chris regards February 9, 1964, when the Beatles first performed live on the Ed Sullivan Show, as a major turning point in his life.
