One of the biggest hurdles that Paul McCartney ever faced with The Beatles was trying to break America.

By summer 1966, The Beatles were a spent force. Beatlemania’s dizzying whirlwind had fatigued the band; a bad cloud hung in the air of their Japanese, Philippines, and US Bible Belt dates in light of royal snubs and ‘Bigger than Jesus’ quips, and the Fab Four’s growing creative ambitions were outrunning their basic live set-up.

It’s not uncommon to hear critics and fans claiming that The Beatles invented nearly every genre of music.

Amidst their prolific era of songwriting genius in the late 1960s, […]

Some moments in music are planned down to the smallest detail. Others arrive without warning, shaped not by intention but by timing.

“The Beatles’ career had been great,” Paul McCartney proclaimed, “We’d gone from A to Z and it had been a great journey.
