The Beatles, a rock band formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, all from Liverpool, were the leaders of the so-called British Invasion of the 1960s. They became the most commercially successful music group in history. They became popular in Europe, and by the time they got to the United States, women and girls screamed and swooned everywhere they played. This phenomenon is known as Beatlemania.
