“How do you find America?” “Turn left at Greenland.” ― Ringo Starr
During The Beatles first American tour in 1964, none other than Ringo Starr had the best response to an American interviewer. His sense of humor made Ringo a very well likable man, and entertainer.

The song that started Beatlemania - “All My Loving.” Although it was released on November 22nd, 1963, it was performed on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964, and ended up being one of their top hits and had women swooning at their feet for nearly a decade

“For those of you in the cheap seats I’d like ya to clap your hands to this one; the rest of you can just rattle your jewelry!” ― John Lennon
One of my personal all time favorite quotes by Lennon, during the Royal Variety Performance in November of 1963 where they performed for the Queen of England right before the song “Twist and Shout.” His way of interacting with fans was very impressionable because he could poke fun and understand his audience.

"And when the brokenhearted people - Living in the world agree - There will be an answer, let it be” ― Paul McCartney
This song was a VERY personal song to Sir. McCartney modeled after a dream he had, where “Mother Mary” (AKA his mother) came and visited him, reassuring him that everything is going to be okay, which he then projected into a song, becoming a song people used for peace anthems everywhere - so move over John Lennon!

"Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?” “Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles.” ― John Lennon
Poor Ringo, always being the butt of everyone’s jokes, their “least favorite Beatle”, and ignored but it’s okay! All you need is love, and I said it’s alright Ringo is a charmer, and that is what he is known for.

“There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done - Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung,- Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game - It’s easy - All you need is love.”
On June 25th, 1967 The Beatles performed in front of over 350 MILLION people worldwide on a television broadcast called “Our World” with a very short notice. The one and only John Lennon stepped up to the bat, writing about what he knows best - peace and love, man - peace and love.

“And any time you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain - Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders - For well, you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool - By making his world a little colder” ― Paul McCartney
Although many thought “Hey Jude” was about John Lennon’s newest lover Yoko Ono and her influence and strain on the band, it was actually about John Lennon’s son, Julian. Originally “Hey Jules”, this song was a song of positivity. These lyrics show that you can face adversity more than when John Lennon said that they were bigger than Jesus.

“Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra- La-la how the life goes on” ― Paul McCartney
One of The Beatles most upbeat hits, was originally supposed to be a slow song. John Lennon, who reportedly hated this song barged into the recording studio after listening to Paul try and play it slowly sixty times. Lennon ended up playing the piano very upbeat, which shaped this, and the rest of “The White Album.”
