Until
last week, I introduced American and British popular music by genre for a long
time, from the 1950s to the 1990s, and from yesterday's broadcast, I started
introducing the greatest popular musicians in music
history.
The first greatest popular musician in music history I introduced
yesterday was “The Beatles”.
I uploaded content of yesterday's

The story of the film is based on a
real-life situation in which John Lennon and Yoko Ono wrote a letter to the
English folk singer Steve Tilston in 1971, but the letter remained unknown to him
for 34 years. The real letter was signed as "John + Yoko" while the
letter in the film was signed as "John".

Emotionally Stimulating Film”

Interesting
stories about the film
1. This film is inspired by the
story of singer Steve Tilston, who learned of the existence of a letter that
John Lennon had written to him 34 years after the letter was written.
2. The beginning of the film’s
concert footage was shot at a Los Angeles concert by the band Chicago.
3. Dan Fogelman had Al Pacino in
mind for Danny Collins’ role while writing the script. Al Pacino agreed with
the role, with one request that Bobby Cannavale play his son.
4. The photos on the wall of
Collins' house are all pictures from the movies that Al Pacino has previously
appeared, including The Godfather and Serpico.
Following the last week, I am going to
start my 63rd lecture.
The topic for this week is “The Beatles
Era”, the second theme of “The History of Rock”.
This lecture is a summary of the
contents of “63. History of Rock Music: 2. The Beatles Era, ACJ Music Academy”
introduced on October 8, 2016.
The late 1950s
to early 1960s was a period that rock and roll era ended, which became the
basis of rock, and the previous period of the British Invasion, which British
bands attacked the United States. Some music critics emphasize that without the
innovative musical elements that were formed during this period, subsequent
musical development would have been impossible.
Rock and Roll didn't completely
disappear in the late 1950s, and its influence led to the twist craze in the
early 1960s, which made Chubby Checker a big star. Cliff Richard, a British
singer, effectively promoted British rock sound and made the first British rock
and roll hit with the song "Move It" released in 1958.

The Beatles is
a rock band formed in Liverpool, UK in 1960. The members of the band are John
Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, and they are
considered the most important and influential band in rock history.

Their
manager Brian Epstein made the Beatles as a professional band, and the producer
George Martin led their recordings to create their first hit song “Love Me Do”
in late 1962, which became a big hit in the UK. The Beatles became a worldwide
star by leading the “British Invasion” in the American pop market in early 1964.

After the band
was disbanded in 1970, each member acted as solo musician and made success. Among the
members, John Lennon was shot and killed by a bully in December 1980, George
Harrison died of lung cancer in November 2001, and the currently surviving Paul
McCartney and Ringo Starr continue their musical career.
