: Band rock legendaris The Beatles menjadi group band Inggris pertama yang hijrah ke Amerika Serikat. Beranggotakan empat personel: John Lennon (gitar/vokal), Paul McCartney (bass/vokal), George Harrison (gitar/vokal), dan Ringgo Starr (drum), The Beatles menjadi band Inggris pertama yang sukses menancapkan kuku di Negeri Paman Sam.
Perjuangan The Beatles untuk merangsek ke Amerika Serikat tidak mudah. Negosiasi berbelit antara manajemen The Beatles yang dikomandani Brian Epstein dengan perusahaan-perusahaan rekaman di Amerika memakan waktu lebih dari setahun. Sampai akhirnya Epstein berhasil mendapatkan kontrak pemasaran senilai 40 ribu dolar AS dengan perusahaan rekaman Capitol Records, yang merupakan anak perusahan EMI Records.

Salah satu lagu hits The Beatles adalah I Saw Her Standing There, berikut liriknya:
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Ooh, since I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went, "Boom"
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine
Oh, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long
I fell in love with her
Now I'll never dance with another
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Oh, since I saw her standing there
Yeah, well since I saw her standing there.***
