British Invasion: Parliaments
At the end of the decade of the 50´s, the rock and roll was going through bad
times, Chuck Berry, the pioneer of the rock and roll, went to prison, Elvis
Presley, the king, paid military service, etc. When all seemed lost, an event
occurred that changed the world and the popular culture, The British
Invasion. At the beginning of the decade of the 60's, the band that would
change the history, and to this day, is the most popular and influential band
in the history, would emerge, this band is, The Beatles.
*Sounds "I wanna hold your hand" while the narrator says:
The British Invasion began with the publication by "Capitol" of the single of
The Beatles “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”, his arrival in the United States, and
its appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964, which marked a
record number of viewers, which has not been overcome to date.
Competition does not long in coming and a lot of bands were present to
counter the Beatles, and have the coveted success they wanted, as Billy J.
Kramer & the Dakotasm, Chad & Jeremy, Cilla Black, Cliff Bennett, Cream,
Dave Berry, Donovan, Dusty Springfield, Freddie & the Dreamers, Gerry and
the Pacemakers, etc.
But here, we will highlight 2 bands that are still active and are considered
legends. The first, in his time, exactly half of the decade of the 60s, they were
considered the "bad guys" of the rock and roll, for its wild pace for those
times and their lyrics with sexual or hot messages. The dinosaurs of the rock,
The Rolling Stones
(The song of The Beatles stops and starts the song of the rollings, and mick
appears dancing)
