It was twenty years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They’ve been going in and out of style
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band…
Actually it was February 7th 52 years ago that the Beatles landed at JFK airport and the British Invasion was on. By the end of the decade The Beatles would be a collection of individuals. But before they broke up they set a new course for pop music. They also left behind some mysteries like was the Walrus really Paul? And what was their last album?
According to a 2013 Rolling Stone article:
“Abbey Road was the last (album) they recorded, but Let It Be was the last they released. So did the greatest band ever bid farewell with “Her Majesty” or “Get Back”? Does the story end with Paul saying, “Someday I’m gonna make her mine,” or John saying, “I hope we passed the audition”?”

The Beatles were ever reinventing themselves, and creating something new in the rock genre. Any one of their accomplishments would have made them historic, but they had many, many historic music milestones. Thank you for this reminder of one of them!
