MUS207 The Beatles and Their Music 3 credits

The Beatles rose to prominence in the 1960's and this course will look at how they got started, following them through the British Invasion culminating in their final roof-top concert at Abbey Road studios and their final album "Let It Be" which was released in 1970. While looking at the drug counter-culture as only part of the myth that surrounds the Beatles, this course will also look at how their music came together both on the road and in the recording studio. It will also examine how and why their music is still popular today, 50 years after their first #1 hit!
