Well, u did it again! Another wonderful reaction! The Beatles are truly legendary! Yesterday, is a song that they still play today! It's one I can listen to daily! And, an upbeat song is, I wanna hold ur hand! Enjoy ur day! Can't wait for the next reaction video! ❤
Dear OM, The Beatles are the best Rock/Pop group in history! One thing you have to understand is that, over their 8 years of work as recording artists, they changed a lot. A LOT! So, with this video, you are picking up with them in 1968, which was 6 years after their first recorded single, from late 1962. But, if you were to listen to them from 1963-65, you would hear a very different sound, since they developed their style, musicianship, song-writing, and sound over the years. So, there is early Beatles/Beatlemania from 1963 - 1965. Then there is Psychedelic/Progressive Beatles from 1966 - 1967. Then there is the Classic Rock Beatles, from 1968-1970. I love them all, but I grew up on the early Beatles, so I have a special place in my heart for those years. Anyway, you have a lot to catch up on! Welcome to the Beatles Rabbit Hole! Great ready for a life-changing experience! :)
I find it hard to believe there's a single human on earth of any race, nationality or creed that has not heard the Beatles. And I'm not some old timer born in the 50s that grew up on them. I'm 32 and I think no matter your age or generation, this music stands the test of time and for me reached out to me and sucked me in. When I say nobody has never heard this... the day my daughter was born, I was this hopeless father with no idea what to do and this beautiful baby girl in my arms only hours old, my wife still unconscious from the surgery, and I'm trying to rock her to sleep... I sang her this song. It was the first song my daughter ever heard. So if your dad was a fan, you may not remember, but I'm sure you heard it.
You're far more aware of The Beatles music than you think. It has been spread throughout our culture for decades in movies, commercials, etc. They've easily been the biggest thing in music in my 73 years and everything they accomplished was before any of them reached their 30th birthdays.
Ooohh? No beatles yet? Hmm, 🤔...yeah, ur going to love them most of all, its the way of the world...the beatles: NEVER overrated...just over-hated. Ur welcome, & enjoy:D
Imagine you’re Paul McCartney and there’s a generation out there that knows you’re famous for a solo career… …and never knew you were IN.THE.FREAKING.BEATLES. I tell you: THAT is famous.
for another "emotional" Beatles song, listen to "Let It Be"... Hey Jude is near the end of their career, for extra fun watch them when they were younger and the girls went crazy for them.. you can see this if you watch them perform "She Loves You" at the ABC Cinema in Manchester UK in 1963, or "I Want To Hold Your Hand" on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.. it was called Beatlemania for a reason
The silly part at the beginning they were playing the theme song of the tv show they were appearing on, hence the host saying "a perfect rendition"...the beatles are funny.
You got emotional because that's what Beatles music does and why they're still the greatest and most infuential band in history 54 years after they split up. Peace ❤
There are many good suggestions here but I think you should treat yourself to all 214 songs that they did. There are plenty of concert footage and TV appearances This was a staged TV appearance where the Beatles play the theme song of the David Cross show before they say could you.
Naturally, there are many of us who grew up in the '60s who are of the opinion that ALL Beatles songs are well worth listening to. And thankfully there are many videos of them singing their songs - some live, and others they mime. Either way, it's fun to watch them...when they, and we, were all young and good looking!
Crash course on The Beatles: In 1957, John Lennon met Paul McCartney when they were kids in Liverpool, England and still in school... Both loved American rock and roll music and John Lennon formed his band The Quarrymen as a skiffle band cos he and his friends could not play professionally... Paul McCartney was a musician because he learned from his dad, who was a professional musician... Paul taught John how to play guitar... and then piano... He also introduced him to George Harrison, who was a talented guitarist but exceptionally young... After finishing school, John Lennon went to art school and became friends w/ another artist named Stu Sutcliffe. In 1960, Lennon and McCartney's band w/ George Harrison finally settled on The Beatles as the band name... Stu Sutcliffe was asked to play bass... Pete Best (drums) joined the new rock and roll band and they played in Hamburg, (West) Germany that year as a professional band for the first time... However, they were deported after George Harrison was discovered to be under 18 years of age. The Beatles spent time playing covers at gigs between Liverpool and Hamburg in 1961... Stu Sutcliffe became romantically involved w/ a German photographer (who first photographed The Beatles in Hamburg) and left the band... Paul McCartney switched from guitar to bass so that John and George could play guitar... Sadly, Stu Sutcliffe died unexpectedly in 1962 from a brain aneurysm. The Beatles played cover songs live but Lennon and McCartney started writing original songs together - they made a pact that they would share credits to every Beatles song they wrote... Eventually, George Harrison also started to write his own songs... In 1962, The Beatles were called the best rock and roll band in England but were passed over by the music industry... Finally, a British producer George Martin agreed to work w/ The Beatles and record their first songs... However, drummer Pete Best was no longer putting in 100% into the band. He was replaced in 1962 by Ringo Starr (drums) who was from Liverpool and had substituted for Best at a few gigs before joining. 'Love me do' was the song that became The Beatles' first hit single in late 1962... More songs were recorded and The Beatles had a huge hit album in 1963 - "Please, please me"... The single "Please, please me" became an even bigger UK hit. The were nicknamed 'The Fab Four' as they toured the UK and the reaction to The Beatles was so extreme that the press eventually called it 'Beatlemania'... w/ crowds of screaming girls mobbing The Beatles when they appeared for concerts. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the main singers, but George Harrison would also sing on the mic and so did Ringo Starr, just to give the audience variety. 2nd album 'With the Beatles' was released in 1963 as the band toured Europe... In the USA, their records were starting to sell but The Beatles refused to come to N. America unless they had a #1 record there (They had several in the UK by that point)... That hit song finally came in late '63 - "I want to hold your hand" ... went to #1 on the US charts... The Beatles finally arrived in N. America to tour in early 1964 and appeared on national TV on the 'Ed Sullivan Show' and earned huge ratings... Beatlemania had come to America. More hit records came in 1964/ '65 by The Beatles ... "A hard day's night" (which also became The Beatles' first big screen movie)... "Can't buy me love"... 'Ticket to ride' ... "I feel fine"... 'Help!" (which became The Beatles' second big screen movie) But by 1966, the crowds at Beatles' show had gotten so big and so loud that the band could barely hear themselves play... and the audiences also couldn't hear them cos the equipment they had at the time was not loud enough... John Lennon made a comment about "The Beatles being bigger than Jesus" (as a humorous remark) but religious groups took it the wrong way and public threats began against the band. Fed up w/ the loud crowds and constant attention, The Beatles announced in 1966 that they would end their touring days... They wanted to focus on their music and other ventures... In 1967, they formed their own label Apple Corp. in order to give artists a chance to be heard. In 1967, The Beatles made a dramatic change in their sound and image... They incorporated more psychedelic influences into their records and grew their hair out long on the album "Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band"... Despite not touring anymore, The Beatles were more popular than ever by 1968 as they completed and released a double self-titled album (Often called 'The White album') More hit singles came - 'Yellow submarine' ... 'Hello goodbye' ... 'All you need is love' ... 'Hey Jude' ... 'Penny Lane' ... 'Strawberry fields forever'... etc. However, internal disagreements between the band members over songs, finances and management were starting to affect The Beatles by 1968... An attempt to film The Beatles recording an album and playing a rooftop free concert proved disastrous as no tracks were completed at the time. The Beatles released their final studio album 'Abbey Road' in 1969 and it became one of their biggest records... George Harrison even scored a #1 single - 'Something'... But the band members' were no longer on the same page by that point. John Lennon told them in 1969 that he was leaving the band... In 1970, Paul McCartney sued the 3 Beatles in court to terminate their partnership and divide the band's assets fairly between them... McCartney later explained that Lennon, Harrison and Starr signed w/ manager Allen Klein, while Paul was managed by his wife Linda McCartney's family... He suspected Klein was ripping off the band as manager and since he wasn't signed contractually to Klein, he had to sue the other Beatles to keep Klein from taking advantage of the band. All four members of The Beatles went for solo careers by 1972 and Paul McCartney quickly became the most successful of the 4 former members... John Lennon would eventually settle in NYC by 1975 after recording a few solo albums and didn't make another solo album until 1980. George Harrison also had successful solo records... but Ringo Starr was not a prolific songwriter and he was only moderately successful. In late 1980, tragedy struck when John Lennon was shot dead in NYC by a deranged fan; he was only 40 years of age... His death ended any possibility of a Beatles reunion. In 1994, John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono handed the surviving Beatles 3 demos that John Lennon had recorded before his death... McCartney, Harrison and Starr completed and released 2 new Beatles songs in 1995 - 'Free as a bird' and 'Real love'... A third song 'Now and then' was not completed... Sadly, George Harrison passed away from cancer in 2001. In 2023, new software technology was available to 'fix' the 'Now and then' demo tape so that the tracks could be completed w/ all 4 Beatles on it (George Harrison had played some guitar on it) ... 'Now and then' became the final Beatles song to be released.
That's an understatement if ever I heard one. She attempted to give him a one dollar check as his inheritance and made him buy at auction letters he wrote his dad. Paul McCartney helped him buy them and gave them to him.
😄Yes, this performance is a gem! You might try, "Revolution", (for a bit of rock-n-roll), "She's Leaving Home", (a bit of melancholy), and "Helter Skelter," (for some heavy metal). Can't wait for the reaction!☮
Ola back then girlls would fan girl the most over any other group. I thought some times when you fan i think about it and i say Ola would be there LOL. This band broke so many records it's unreal. Yes Ola check them out like I could ask my mom where she was at the moment she found out John Lennon was killed and she could be able to tell me Thanks Ola hope you are having a great day ❤😂.
I just discovered you, and I loved the reaction! So cool! Since you're just getting started, I thought I would give you a little context on just how big The Beatles were (and are). In the 8 years they recorded, they (still) have the most #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with 20 #1 hits, and 35 overall top 10 hits. Also, it's important to note that The Beatles are the biggest selling music artist of all time, and nobody else even comes close. Bigger than Michael Jackson, bigger than Elvis, bigger than Prince or Madonna, bigger than Drake or Rhianna, bigger than any other music artist that ever breathed air and walked the face of this earth. Do a quick google search and you'll see what I'm talking about. I am so looking forward to your journey! I would start with the first album (Please, Please, Me) and go in chronological order from there until their final recorded album, Abbey Road. Just a suggestion. Whatever you choose will be cool and I'm looking forward to more Beatles reactions! I subscribed! Peace
“For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder.” Genius lyrics from the amazing mind of Paul McCartney! This song is actually from fairly late in their career. I suggest starting with early sixties Beatles and working forward to experience the evolution. Still it’s a great choice. 🌺✌️
The Beatles have an entire cd of #1 songs and a lot of very good songs are not on the cd. They started as a pop band but they grew and grew and grew. If you start with 1963 and go to 1970 you will see that growth. Love your channel.
Basically, they started as a rock'n'roll band, but very quickly moved into all kinds of genres within pop&rock, and, as is well known, often developed these to the next level.
Paul solo...yes...u must, must do "baby, im amazed"....good lord...actually, 5 seconds in youll prob be like "oh, ive heard this"....u should still do it if you have never paid attention....actually, if theyre ur dads favorite band u prob know 100 beatles songs & just dont realize it...thats not the worst thing that can happen to a person tho, ha
One good way to quickly experience The Beatles is to begin with their "Red" album compilation which has many of their hit songs from their 1962 to 1966 era. Then go with the "Blue" album which has their songs from 1967 to 1970 era before they broke up. "Hey Jude" was released in 1968 so it would be on the blue album. Listening to The Beatles early music as a boy band later growing into a musically mature innovative rock group is one of the greatest artistic evolution in music history.
I love your sincere reaction; you are lucky if you continue to explore the Beatles and hear their music for the first time. Many consider A Day in the Life as their greatest song.
Do a reaction to Let It Be by The Beatles if you really want to get emotional. Another great song by them is Oh Darling. Lots and lots of other hits by them, as well.
The Beatles launched their own label because every album they released before, the studio would farm out all their songs to other bands. There were at least a dozen covers of yellow submarine out before the band that wrote it debuted the song. Singles were meant to be short, as well, to drive coin sales at the jukebox, so this was the Beatles debut response, an 8 minute single.
I'm glad that you mentioned the "Kaiser Chiefs". Their song, "I Predict a Riot" could have been about Beatlemania where everywhere The Beatles went publicly almost turned into a riot from all the crazed fans. Thankfully all the teenage girls remained perfectly well behaved and entirely restrained from acting out emotionally whenever they saw the fab four. It was just the teen boys who went nuts.😉
Oh man, I forgot about the Kaiser Chiefs! Yeah, The Beatles are such a significant part of my childhood. And as a musician of many years, I continue to appreciate what they were doing and how fast they were evolving, each step along the way. And then all four of them had solo careers. One of their latest songs that is widely regarded as kind of a precursor to heavy metal is Helter Skelter, who is Paul McCartney taking the lead just as he did on this one. I bet you'll be shocked.
McCartney said when he first wrote t he song, and ran it by John, he told John he was going to change the line "The movement you need is on your shoulder... to somehting better. John said "No you won't!! it's the best damn line in the song!!" so it was left in...this os how McCartney and Lennon collaborated on songs.
You will enjoy hey song called” revolution” and of course some of their early hits like I want to hold your hand and another great one she loves you yeah yeah yeah!!!😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Huge song, both as a single and a video. The Beatles are the best band, period my dear, they started everything when the made their international debut in 1964, Rock was never the same after. For more Beatles greatness, do the video for A Day in the Life and be amazed. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎤🎹🎶
Hola beautiful Ola! Since this is the largest rabbithole ever, I'm only gonna mention the names of some songs that weren't mentioned (i think): Nowhere Man, Eleanor Rigby, Paperback Writer, Eight Days A Week, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, And I Love Her, ( Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da), Help!, Twist & Shout, With A Little Help From My Friends, (Hello, Goodbye), Get Back, Back In The U.S.S.R.
This song is such an Iconic Love Story that Starts so simple and as an advise from a friend that's unconditional, then it progresses into a total harmony for all the people to sing as if wanting to make a connection from one to another and then it becomes everybody's love song as if everybody wishes it could happen to them but the Harmonics of all the voices becomes One Giant symphony and even their voices blend A perfection of Echos where you and her and them are almost indistinguishable from a guitar or the piano or the horns, Bass and drums... It's Basically All of It in ONE VOICE and the Melodics from everyone singing in Harmony transforms into a Hymn of Joy that could be sang for hours on end without ending... This Song should've been a World's Anthem for all the people to Unite together...❤💙🤍💜
Hi Olavity, I hope you are well. Would you please consider reacting to 'Gimme Some Truth' by John Lennon and the versions of 'Savoy Truffle' by The Beatles and Ella Fitzgerald on your TH-cam channel? Those tracks are amazing. Thank you, and all the best.
8:58--It's because the band was so tight with thier fans, and everybody knew the break=up was coming--for all they knew, it was the last time this British audience would get to see their hometown boys..And for many of them, it was..less than a year later they called it a day. You can't find a bad song by them..they were hit making machines thier whole 10-year run, with 6 LP's ranked in the top 100 G.O.A.T.'s. including no. 1 " Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Awesome reaction, and I'm glad you enjoyed the Beatles. The Beatles have over 200 songs, and many different types of songs. Their early songs were great but very short. Therefore when picking a song, look at the amount of time it is so you don't get surprised that the song ends quickly during a reaction. Here are a few suggestions. Don't Let me Down from the rooftop concert, Let it Be (another beautiful song sung by Paul), She Loves You or Twist and Shout (short songs live from the Ed Sullivan Show). The early songs from the Ed Sullivan Show literally redefined rock music, and set many cultural trends in hair styles, clothing, and values. Whatever you choose I will be looking forward to your reaction.
This was on the British TV show hosted by David Frost. A few eeks later they showed in this in the USA on the Smothers Brothers comedy hour in fall 1968. I was 12. You don't see bands bringing all types of people together like this anymore to sing together and model world peace by their actions. Radio station didnt like it because it was too long, robbing them of precious advertising time. Beatles prodcer said to them isn't there a way you can cut the time down on this song? They won't allow it on the radio. John Lennon said something like "They will if it's US!!!" meaning the Beatles. he was right, people complained they didn;t get to hear the whoel thing when radio stains would cut it off. Enouch compaints and "Beatles power" forced them to pay the whole thing, 7 minutes +, when the average record was no longer than 3 minutes. Critics thought the Beatles were done, overwith in summer 1968...Then the Beatles shut them up with this giant hit...I laugh my a** off now about that.
I love it..... This is by far the deepest rabbit hole you will ever fall down Ola. There really isnt another library of music by a band or artist like the Beatles except for maybe Elvis. I would recommend you get to know them chronologically so you better understand the crazy amount of influence they had. I was so happy when i saw this in my notifications, this will be so cool to ride along with you while you discover the best band ever.
Fantastic! We have just witnessed the birth of yet another Beatles fan. It often happens this way. A young person who hasn't really listened to the Beatles before because, you know, that was like my dads music that older people are always hyping up. Then, one day, they decide to sit down and actually listen to a Beatles track, and that's it, hooked for life. They can't put their finger on it, but there's something in Beatle music that touches them deep inside and makes them feel good. They then understand why the Beatles are the greatest band of all time. In a way, I envy you discovering new (to you) Beatle songs. I was there from the start and remember the anticipation and thrill of hearing a new Beatles song or album. You will have a fantastic musical journey with the Beatles. I won't try and recommend a track for you to listen to next, close your eyes and stick a pin in their catalogue, they are that good.
Start from the bgeinning, Love Me Do, the Beatles are a journey, not just a band. Dothen chronologically. they busted down the door for eveyrone else just when the adults thought they had tamed the evil rock and roll communist plot, lol. They save d rock and roll form certain death on the vine. They came from mostly working class and poverty in Liverpool England. John cam e fomr the "middle class." They invented the long hair, they were great songwriters, performers, played the very first stadium concert, experimented in the recording studio, and with their humor they would have said they invented the first cheese straighener so you won't have to eat crooked cheese anymore...
i can't find any "zombie" ( cranberries)reaction video by you, With it having over a billion views, surely its a must for you. Sorry if you have allready done it.
wayyyyyyyyyyy too long. They should've cut this back by half. Melody is ok, vocals fine, albeit I'm not a huge beatle fan, especially of this later period. I liked the younger energetic fresh beatles of 64/65.
The Beatles are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and each member is also in the Hall of Fame individually for their solo careers. George Martin, their producer, told them Hey Jude was far too long and they'd need to shorten the na-na-na part or radio stations wouldn't play it. John's answer was, "Yes they will, because it's us". John was right, radio stations did play the full song and it tied the record for weeks spent at number 1 in the US and Billboard named it the number 1 song of 1968.
“A Day In The Life”, “Eleanor Rigby”, “Ticket To Ride”, “In My Life”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, “Strawberry Fields”, “I Am The Walrus”, “Here Comes The Sun”, “For No One” and “Day Tripper” are just a few of the MANY great songs by The Beatles.
A Day In The Life,Get Back,Come Together,Oh Darling,I am The Walrus,I Saw Her Standing There,Revolution,Across The Universe,Eleanor Rigby,Glass Onion,Rocky Raccoon,While My Guitar Gently Weeps,Octopuses Garden are some I think your will love! It will show just how diverse they were.Incredible band!
I love a few Julia, off the white album, and Hey you've got to hide your love away, I need you from Help album. I love all the songs really, but those my favourites, oh and Martha my dear, from white album. My choices not so well known unless you know them, but I just love the lyrics.
Well, u did it again! Another wonderful reaction! The Beatles are truly legendary! Yesterday, is a song that they still play today! It's one I can listen to daily! And, an upbeat song is, I wanna hold ur hand! Enjoy ur day! Can't wait for the next reaction video! ❤
The reason you got emotional is what some of us call "Beatle magic".
This was actually The Beatles' biggest hit. It stayed at number 1 for 9 weeks. Many, many songs by The Beatles to choose from. All of them great.
Just a little correction - it was the Beatles' biggest hit in the US. In the UK their biggest hit was She Loves You.
I Wanna Hold Your Hand was their biggest seller worldwide.
The BEATLES are Gods gift to mankind!✌🏻❤️
Absolutely!!!
@OldSkoolDad23 In fact, God immediately took Lennon away from us. From that day on I was definitely done with that!
Lennon's imagine songs talks of no religion so I don't think God has anything to do with their talent.
@@robertsonsid Awesome comment!!!
Oh! Darling one of Paul McCartney's best vocals ever.

The difference between the Beatles and other bands is that you try to to do a greatest hits compilation and you can't easily get it below 100 songs
I find it hard to believe there's a single human on earth of any race, nationality or creed that has not heard the Beatles. And I'm not some old timer born in the 50s that grew up on them. I'm 32 and I think no matter your age or generation, this music stands the test of time and for me reached out to me and sucked me in.

Great one to start with! Please add 'Yesterday' - the most covered song in history - to the list.
"A Day in the Life" is a must listen !
You're emotional because it's the Beatles, the best band ever.
Well said ❤
It's beyond beautiful. Makes me so happy I can't put in into words.
Exactly
The Beatles in their intro showed their zany fun loving side
Happy 82nd birthday, Macca!
"They say its your birthday! We're gonna have a good time! I'm glad its your birthday! Happy birthday TO YOU!"
Paul McCartney "Maybe I'm amazed" song written for his wife Linda. "Blackbird" is beautiful as is "Norwegian Wood". Loved your reaction as always!
"Get Back", Revolution", Helter Skelter" and 'Let It Be".
Yes. Also Ticket To Ride, Drive My Car, Day Tripper, Paperback Writer, While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Come Together, There are so many of course.
@@ianballantyne6892 So many! It's incredible really!
@@dedcowbowee Definitely!
And 56 years later a young lady claps along with the audience, how beautiful is that?
It's beyond beautiful. Makes me so happy I can't put in into words.
Try Let it Be. You will love that song!
"You know that it's a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder." Word.
Ooohh? No beatles yet? Hmm, 🤔...yeah, ur going to love them most of all, its the way of the world...the beatles: NEVER overrated...just over-hated. Ur welcome, & enjoy:D

I’d like to request “Revolution”.
Get ready for the most incredible musical journey you've ever had!
The silly part at the beginning they were playing the theme song of the tv show they were appearing on, hence the host saying "a perfect rendition"...the beatles are funny.
You got emotional because that's what Beatles music does and why they're still the greatest and most infuential band in history 54 years after they split up.

Nice nice nice one Olavity! Great reaction lass! ☘️🇺🇲
Bright Agel Olavity, I love your comments and the love you have for the music. Thanks for all the hard work and great videos.
When they first started their career they wouldn’t be able to be that close to the fans because the fans were crazy about them.
Naturally, there are many of us who grew up in the '60s who are of the opinion that ALL Beatles songs are well worth listening to. And thankfully there are many videos of them singing their songs - some live, and others they mime. Either way, it's fun to watch them...when they, and we, were all young and good looking!

The were nicknamed 'The Fab Four' as they toured the UK and the reaction to The Beatles was so extreme that the press eventually called it 'Beatlemania'... w/ crowds of screaming girls mobbing The Beatles when they appeared for concerts. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the main singers, but George Harrison would also sing on the mic and so did Ringo Starr, just to give the audience variety.
2nd album 'With the Beatles' was released in 1963 as the band toured Europe... In the USA, their records were starting to sell but The Beatles refused to come to N. America unless they had a #1 record there (They had several in the UK by that point)... That hit song finally came in late '63 - "I want to hold your hand" ... went to #1 on the US charts... The Beatles finally arrived in N. America to tour in early 1964 and appeared on national TV on the 'Ed Sullivan Show' and earned huge ratings... Beatlemania had come to America.
More hit records came in 1964/ '65 by The Beatles ... "A hard day's night" (which also became The Beatles' first big screen movie)... "Can't buy me love"... 'Ticket to ride' ... "I feel fine"... 'Help!" (which became The Beatles' second big screen movie)
But by 1966, the crowds at Beatles' show had gotten so big and so loud that the band could barely hear themselves play... and the audiences also couldn't hear them cos the equipment they had at the time was not loud enough... John Lennon made a comment about "The Beatles being bigger than Jesus" (as a humorous remark) but religious groups took it the wrong way and public threats began against the band.
Fed up w/ the loud crowds and constant attention, The Beatles announced in 1966 that they would end their touring days... They wanted to focus on their music and other ventures... In 1967, they formed their own label Apple Corp. in order to give artists a chance to be heard.
In 1967, The Beatles made a dramatic change in their sound and image... They incorporated more psychedelic influences into their records and grew their hair out long on the album "Seargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band"... Despite not touring anymore, The Beatles were more popular than ever by 1968 as they completed and released a double self-titled album (Often called 'The White album')
More hit singles came - 'Yellow submarine' ... 'Hello goodbye' ... 'All you need is love' ... 'Hey Jude' ... 'Penny Lane' ... 'Strawberry fields forever'... etc.
However, internal disagreements between the band members over songs, finances and management were starting to affect The Beatles by 1968... An attempt to film The Beatles recording an album and playing a rooftop free concert proved disastrous as no tracks were completed at the time.
The Beatles released their final studio album 'Abbey Road' in 1969 and it became one of their biggest records... George Harrison even scored a #1 single - 'Something'... But the band members' were no longer on the same page by that point.
John Lennon told them in 1969 that he was leaving the band... In 1970, Paul McCartney sued the 3 Beatles in court to terminate their partnership and divide the band's assets fairly between them... McCartney later explained that Lennon, Harrison and Starr signed w/ manager Allen Klein, while Paul was managed by his wife Linda McCartney's family... He suspected Klein was ripping off the band as manager and since he wasn't signed contractually to Klein, he had to sue the other Beatles to keep Klein from taking advantage of the band.
All four members of The Beatles went for solo careers by 1972 and Paul McCartney quickly became the most successful of the 4 former members... John Lennon would eventually settle in NYC by 1975 after recording a few solo albums and didn't make another solo album until 1980. George Harrison also had successful solo records... but Ringo Starr was not a prolific songwriter and he was only moderately successful.
In late 1980, tragedy struck when John Lennon was shot dead in NYC by a deranged fan; he was only 40 years of age... His death ended any possibility of a Beatles reunion.
In 1994, John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono handed the surviving Beatles 3 demos that John Lennon had recorded before his death... McCartney, Harrison and Starr completed and released 2 new Beatles songs in 1995 - 'Free as a bird' and 'Real love'... A third song 'Now and then' was not completed... Sadly, George Harrison passed away from cancer in 2001.
In 2023, new software technology was available to 'fix' the 'Now and then' demo tape so that the tracks could be completed w/ all 4 Beatles on it (George Harrison had played some guitar on it) ... 'Now and then' became the final Beatles song to be released.
Outstanding history.
Please react to Something or Here Comes The Sun, you're gonna love them!!!
This song was written for Julian Lennon (John's son). At first he didn't get on with Johns second wife Yoko Ono.
That's an understatement if ever I heard one. She attempted to give him a one dollar check as his inheritance and made him buy at auction letters he wrote his dad. Paul McCartney helped him buy them and gave them to him.
Great Reaction as always
"Don't Let Me Down"
Start from the early Beatle days and go from there….
IIt's amazing how 60 years later people still find and falling in love with Beatles.
😄Yes, this performance is a gem! You might try, "Revolution", (for a bit of rock-n-roll), "She's Leaving Home", (a bit of melancholy), and "Helter Skelter," (for some heavy metal). Can't wait for the reaction!☮
When you will know their entire work, you will see that they were not a band, but a miracle.
Ola back then girlls would fan girl the most over any other group.
I thought some times when you fan i think about it and i say Ola would be there LOL.
This band broke so many records it's unreal.
Yes Ola check them out like I could ask my mom where she was at the moment she found out John Lennon was killed and she could be able to tell me Thanks Ola hope you are having a great day ❤😂.
This is the best possible beatles song , & version of said song, that you couldve chosen as a first one...i envy you:D ..yay!
I just discovered you, and I loved the reaction! So cool! Since you're just getting started, I thought I would give you a little context on just how big The Beatles were (and are). In the 8 years they recorded, they (still) have the most #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with 20 #1 hits, and 35 overall top 10 hits. Also, it's important to note that The Beatles are the biggest selling music artist of all time, and nobody else even comes close. Bigger than Michael Jackson, bigger than Elvis, bigger than Prince or Madonna, bigger than Drake or Rhianna, bigger than any other music artist that ever breathed air and walked the face of this earth. Do a quick google search and you'll see what I'm talking about. I am so looking forward to your journey! I would start with the first album (Please, Please, Me) and go in chronological order from there until their final recorded album, Abbey Road. Just a suggestion. Whatever you choose will be cool and I'm looking forward to more Beatles reactions!
I subscribed!
Peace
Welcome to the 'RABBIT HOLE' of the GREATEST BAND IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING!! The Beatles!!
You,my dear,are Very Beautiful young lady... You look Exactly like my very first true love ❤
Paul McCartney and his grace.
Love him!
“For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder.” Genius lyrics from the amazing mind of Paul McCartney! This song is actually from fairly late in their career. I suggest starting with early sixties Beatles and working forward to experience the evolution. Still it’s a great choice. 🌺✌️
The Beatles have an entire cd of #1 songs and a lot of very good songs are not on the cd. They started as a pop band but they grew and grew and grew. If you start with 1963 and go to 1970 you will see that growth. Love your channel.
Basically, they started as a rock'n'roll band, but very quickly moved into all kinds of genres within pop&rock, and, as is well known, often developed these to the next level.
Paul just turned 82 on June 18, 2024.
The Beatles have some incredible ballads in their catalogue, such as this one, that I think are still among the greatest of all time.
Paul solo...yes...u must, must do "baby, im amazed"....good lord...actually, 5 seconds in youll prob be like "oh, ive heard this"....u should still do it if you have never paid attention....actually, if theyre ur dads favorite band u prob know 100 beatles songs & just dont realize it...thats not the worst thing that can happen to a person tho, ha
The most successful band ever, fact. Enjoy the ride flower
Start with therapy period of their music: She Loves You, This Boy, From me to you, A Hard day,Z's Night....
One good way to quickly experience The Beatles is to begin with their "Red" album compilation which has many of their hit songs from their 1962 to 1966 era. Then go with the "Blue" album which has their songs from 1967 to 1970 era before they broke up. "Hey Jude" was released in 1968 so it would be on the blue album. Listening to The Beatles early music as a boy band later growing into a musically mature innovative rock group is one of the greatest artistic evolution in music history.
This "audience" was an invited collection of well known artists, actors, TV + FILM people of that time period in the UK.
I love your sincere reaction; you are lucky if you continue to explore the Beatles and hear their music for the first time. Many consider A Day in the Life as their greatest song.
You picked a good one to start your journey beautiful lady!!!😘😘😘👍👍👍
Do a reaction to Let It Be by The Beatles if you really want to get emotional. Another great song by them is Oh Darling. Lots and lots of other hits by them, as well.
The Beatles launched their own label because every album they released before, the studio would farm out all their songs to other bands. There were at least a dozen covers of yellow submarine out before the band that wrote it debuted the song. Singles were meant to be short, as well, to drive coin sales at the jukebox, so this was the Beatles debut response, an 8 minute single.
I'm glad that you mentioned the "Kaiser Chiefs". Their song, "I Predict a Riot" could have been about Beatlemania where everywhere The Beatles went publicly almost turned into a riot from all the crazed fans. Thankfully all the teenage girls remained perfectly well behaved and entirely restrained from acting out emotionally whenever they saw the fab four. It was just the teen boys who went nuts.😉
Oh man, I forgot about the Kaiser Chiefs! Yeah, The Beatles are such a significant part of my childhood. And as a musician of many years, I continue to appreciate what they were doing and how fast they were evolving, each step along the way. And then all four of them had solo careers.
One of their latest songs that is widely regarded as kind of a precursor to heavy metal is Helter Skelter, who is Paul McCartney taking the lead just as he did on this one. I bet you'll be shocked.
"Here comes the sun", "Something", "Eight days a week". Any of those should be your next reaction.
McCartney said when he first wrote t he song, and ran it by John, he told John he was going to change the line "The movement you need is on your shoulder... to somehting better. John said "No you won't!! it's the best damn line in the song!!" so it was left in...this os how McCartney and Lennon collaborated on songs.
You will enjoy hey song called” revolution” and of course some of their early hits like I want to hold your hand and another great one she loves you yeah yeah yeah!!!😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Huge song, both as a single and a video. The Beatles are the best band, period my dear, they started everything when the made their international debut in 1964, Rock was never the same after. For more Beatles greatness, do the video for A Day in the Life and be amazed. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎤🎹🎶
you're definitely a Beatles girl. Start digging honey pie
Hola beautiful Ola! Since this is the largest rabbithole ever, I'm only gonna mention the names of some songs that weren't mentioned (i think): Nowhere Man, Eleanor Rigby, Paperback Writer, Eight Days A Week, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, And I Love Her, ( Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da), Help!, Twist & Shout, With A Little Help From My Friends, (Hello, Goodbye), Get Back, Back In The U.S.S.R.
This song is such an Iconic Love Story that Starts so simple and as an advise from a friend that's unconditional, then it progresses into a total harmony for all the people to sing as if wanting to make a connection from one to another and then it becomes everybody's love song as if everybody wishes it could happen to them but the Harmonics of all the voices becomes One Giant symphony and even their voices blend A perfection of Echos where you and her and them are almost indistinguishable from a guitar or the piano or the horns, Bass and drums... It's Basically All of It in ONE VOICE and the Melodics from everyone singing in Harmony transforms into a Hymn of Joy that could be sang for hours on end without ending... This Song should've been a World's Anthem for all the people to Unite together...❤💙🤍💜
Hi Olavity, I hope you are well. Would you please consider reacting to 'Gimme Some Truth' by John Lennon and the versions of 'Savoy Truffle' by The Beatles and Ella Fitzgerald on your TH-cam channel? Those tracks are amazing. Thank you, and all the best.
I saw Paul McCartney live in Miami in 1990 at Joe Robbie Stadium, where the Miami Dolphins play. A crowd of over 40,000 sang along. It was magical.😊
8:58--It's because the band was so tight with thier fans, and everybody knew the break=up was coming--for all they knew, it was the last time this British audience would get to see their hometown boys..And for many of them, it was..less than a year later they called it a day. You can't find a bad song by them..they were hit making machines thier whole 10-year run, with 6 LP's ranked in the top 100 G.O.A.T.'s. including no. 1 " Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Awesome reaction, and I'm glad you enjoyed the Beatles. The Beatles have over 200 songs, and many different types of songs. Their early songs were great but very short. Therefore when picking a song, look at the amount of time it is so you don't get surprised that the song ends quickly during a reaction. Here are a few suggestions. Don't Let me Down from the rooftop concert, Let it Be (another beautiful song sung by Paul), She Loves You or Twist and Shout (short songs live from the Ed Sullivan Show). The early songs from the Ed Sullivan Show literally redefined rock music, and set many cultural trends in hair styles, clothing, and values. Whatever you choose I will be looking forward to your reaction.
This was on the British TV show hosted by David Frost. A few eeks later they showed in this in the USA on the Smothers Brothers comedy hour in fall 1968. I was 12. You don't see bands bringing all types of people together like this anymore to sing together and model world peace by their actions. Radio station didnt like it because it was too long, robbing them of precious advertising time. Beatles prodcer said to them isn't there a way you can cut the time down on this song? They won't allow it on the radio. John Lennon said something like "They will if it's US!!!" meaning the Beatles. he was right, people complained they didn;t get to hear the whoel thing when radio stains would cut it off. Enouch compaints and "Beatles power" forced them to pay the whole thing, 7 minutes +, when the average record was no longer than 3 minutes. Critics thought the Beatles were done, overwith in summer 1968...Then the Beatles shut them up with this giant hit...I laugh my a** off now about that.
I love it..... This is by far the deepest rabbit hole you will ever fall down Ola. There really isnt another library of music by a band or artist like the Beatles except for maybe Elvis. I would recommend you get to know them chronologically so you better understand the crazy amount of influence they had. I was so happy when i saw this in my notifications, this will be so cool to ride along with you while you discover the best band ever.
Fantastic!
We have just witnessed the birth of yet another Beatles fan.
It often happens this way.
A young person who hasn't really listened to the Beatles before because, you know, that was like my dads music that older people are always hyping up.
Then, one day, they decide to sit down and actually listen to a Beatles track, and that's it, hooked for life.
They can't put their finger on it, but there's something in Beatle music that touches them deep inside and makes them feel good.
They then understand why the Beatles are the greatest band of all time.
In a way, I envy you discovering new (to you) Beatle songs. I was there from the start and remember the anticipation and thrill of hearing a new Beatles song or album.
You will have a fantastic musical journey with the Beatles.
I won't try and recommend a track for you to listen to next, close your eyes and stick a pin in their catalogue, they are that good.
Start from the bgeinning, Love Me Do, the Beatles are a journey, not just a band. Dothen chronologically. they busted down the door for eveyrone else just when the adults thought they had tamed the evil rock and roll communist plot, lol. They save d rock and roll form certain death on the vine. They came from mostly working class and poverty in Liverpool England. John cam e fomr the "middle class." They invented the long hair, they were great songwriters, performers, played the very first stadium concert, experimented in the recording studio, and with their humor they would have said they invented the first cheese straighener so you won't have to eat crooked cheese anymore...
The Beatles on the rooftop and Paul singing Get Back is a classic.
i can't find any "zombie" ( cranberries)reaction video by you, With it having over a billion views, surely its a must for you. Sorry if you have allready done it.
This is one of FIVE Beatles songs in the conversation for greatest rock song of all-time. They are far and away the best band ever.
1. A Day in the Life
2. Eleanor Rigby
3. Hey Jude
4. Strawberry Fields
5. Yesterday
wayyyyyyyyyyy too long. They should've cut this back by half. Melody is ok, vocals fine, albeit I'm not a huge beatle fan, especially of this later period. I liked the younger energetic fresh beatles of 64/65.
Now you feel the Beatles effect
I saw Paul twice and this will bring you to tears in concert
please more beatles, my fav of all time. kisses from brazil. (i saw mccartney in december 2023 here in sao paulo, best day in my life)
Saw McCartney in concert about 25 years ago, was a good show he told stories between the songs...
We have to get you a man
The Beatles 4ever!!!❤❤❤❤
you finally react to the beatles😽😽😽😽
Paul Jhon Ringo George the Beatles
Hey Jude is probably the funnest song by the Beatles to listen to.
I think you should react to more of them.
LOL! "He's very handsome." Yes....yes, he is.
I loved your reaction! You can start by listening to "Please, please me!" Welcome to the beatlemania! Warm hugs from Brazil!
No auto tune and this is live!!
It's half playback for the tv-show.
The Beatles are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and each member is also in the Hall of Fame individually for their solo careers. George Martin, their producer, told them Hey Jude was far too long and they'd need to shorten the na-na-na part or radio stations wouldn't play it. John's answer was, "Yes they will, because it's us". John was right, radio stations did play the full song and it tied the record for weeks spent at number 1 in the US and Billboard named it the number 1 song of 1968.
“A Day In The Life”, “Eleanor Rigby”, “Ticket To Ride”, “In My Life”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, “Strawberry Fields”, “I Am The Walrus”, “Here Comes The Sun”, “For No One” and “Day Tripper” are just a few of the MANY great songs by The Beatles.
All four of The Beatles went on to have solo careers following the band's break-up.
Check out 'Let It Be'...
A Day In The Life,Get Back,Come Together,Oh Darling,I am The Walrus,I Saw Her Standing There,Revolution,Across The Universe,Eleanor Rigby,Glass Onion,Rocky Raccoon,While My Guitar Gently Weeps,Octopuses Garden are some I think your will love! It will show just how diverse they were.Incredible band!
I love a few Julia, off the white album, and Hey you've got to hide your love away, I need you from Help album. I love all the songs really, but those my favourites, oh and Martha my dear, from white album. My choices not so well known unless you know them, but I just love the lyrics.
