My project was for the Beatles. I chose to show a what if scenario where John Lennon never met Paul McCartney and stuck with his high school band, The Quarrymen.
John Lennon, When he was a teenager, started a band with his classmates, Bill Smith, Ken Brown, and Eric Griffiths, and named it The Quarrymen, after their high school. After several years of recording amateur records and playing county fairs. The band never quite broke through into the mainstream, that is until the British Invasion occurred on American culture. They were able to find an audience in the blue collar Midwest where their popularity spread like wildfire with songs like 'Maggie May' and 'In Spite of All the Danger'. It is said their country twain is what led to their success in the U.S.. With their new fame, they managed to book a tour for non other than the U.S. Army, and had several shows for the troops in Vietnam. This was a promotional photo for their first official album: British Invasion.
