Book Synopsis
Relying on music industry data (Top 40 and 100 lists, US and UK hits by British groups, British groups' hits on the 1964 US charts, 1980s television commercials employing “oldies” music, and other comparisons), The Beatle Myth rebuts the revisionist rock historians who greatly exaggerated the impact of the Beatles and other British groups on the US pop music scene beginning in 1964.
