　　In former generations, young people were under their parents' control; now the teenage children of the West's richest generation were ready for something to get excited about. The Beatles simply put a spark （火星） to a fuse （导火线） that was waiting to be lit.

　　Everything changed, and what changed for the Beatles was their lives and their working habits, in the middle of the crazy fans the band attracted of the demand of the fans to see them perform , they played in bigger and bigger places , especially in America.

　　But John, Paul, George and Ringo became increasingly unhappy that, because of the screaming of their fans, neither the band nor the audience （观众） could hear the music. Disappointed and tired of the pressures from their fans, they stopped playing concerts in 1966 and decided to devote themselves to recording.

　　It was from this point that the greatness of the Beatles really began to show itself: they would record some 200 songs. Never before nor since has any recording and writing group even developed and yet remained the same in the way the Beatles did.

　　Their songs never lost their attraction thanks to the warmth and timelessness of their music and words.

　　John and Paul were powerful singers with special styles. It became obvious that , in spite of the fact that the songwriter credits （声誉） were always attributed to （归因于） them , Paul and John wrote and sang their own songs.

Mrs John Brown (John’s mother): When he was young, John was always writing. He wrote in bed; he wrote while the rest of us were watching television, in the half darkness; he would even write at the breakfast table if I let him. He was a very quiet boy.
