Speak English Podcast with Georgiana
Hi everyone! I am Georgiana, founder of speakenglishpodcast.com. My mission is to help you speak English fluently.

Today I’ll talk about the most famous band in the world. The Beatles! And you’ll practice your speaking with a funny mini-story.

Have you ever listened to The Beatles? Actually, let me rephrase that. When was the first time you listened to a Beatles song?

The Beatles are probably the most popular band in the history of music. They are considered by many to be the best band on Earth. The band was undoubtedly the most successful, with global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.

They were initially famous for their light pop music, although their later works achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim, perhaps unprecedented in the 20th century.

Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded after The Beatles appeared on a popular TV show in the US in 1964. The band became a worldwide phenomenon with adoring fans and hysterical adulation.

The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, all from England.

John Lennon was a singer-songwriter and peace activist who co-founded The Beatles.

Paul McCartney is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. He has gained worldwide fame as a bassist and singer.

George Harrison was a musician, singer-songwriter, music and film producer who achieved international fame as The Beatles' lead guitarist. He was often referred to as "The Quiet Beatle."

Ringo Starr is a musician, singer-songwriter, and actor who gained worldwide fame as a Beatles drummer.

Have you ever heard of a 5th member of the band?
I believe not many people know this, yet The Beatles had a fifth member named Stuart Sutcliffe. He was a Scottish-born painter and musician. He left the band to pursue his career as a painter. He and John Lennon are credited with inventing the name “Beetles.”
He’s sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle.”

The really extraordinary thing is that the Beatles were constantly releasing new albums, and they got to have some of these songs on numbers 1, 2, and 3 at the same time.

Despite the popularity of the name of the band in recent years is being debated about its correct spelling.
For some years, editors from Wikipedia have been debating whether the article "the" should be uppercased when referring to the band. Is it "the" Beatles or "The" Beatles?

All that really matters, I think, are the songs that have inspired millions of people all over the world.

And these are my favorite songs from The Beatles:

Help!
Hey Jude
Yesterday
Here Comes the Sun
She Loves You
Drive my Car
We Can Work It Out
Get Back
Twist and Shout
Can’t Buy Me Love
Please Please Me
A Hard Day's Night
Ticket to Ride
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Let It Be
