The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960 . With a line-up comprising John Lennon , Paul McCartney , George Harrison and Ringo Starr , they are regarded as the most influential band of all time . The group were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and popular music 's recognition as an art form . Rooted in skiffle , beat and 1950s rock and roll , their sound incorporated elements of classical music and traditional pop in innovative ways ; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock . As pioneers in recording , songwriting and artistic presentation , the group revolutionised many aspects of the music industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era 's youth and sociocultural movements . Led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney , the Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg over three years from 1960 , initially with Stuart Sutcliffe playing bass . The core trio of Lennon , McCartney and Harrison , together since 1958 , went through a succession of drummers , including Pete Best , before asking Starr to join them in 1962 . Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act and producer George Martin guided and developed their recordings , greatly expanding their domestic success after their first hit , Love Me Do , in late 1962 . As their popularity grew into the intense fan frenzy dubbed Beatlemania , the band acquired the nickname the Fab Four , with Epstein , Martin and other members of the band 's entourage sometimes given the informal title of fifth Beatle . By early 1964 , the Beatles were international stars , leading the British Invasion of the United States pop market and breaking numerous sales records . They soon made their film debut with A Hard Day 's Night ( 1964 ) . From 1965 onwards , they produced increasingly innovative recordings , including the albums Rubber Soul ( 1965 ) , Revolver ( 1966 ) and Sgt .

Presley , on rhythm acoustic guitar , and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black , was a pioneer of rockabilly , an uptempo , backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues . In 1955 , drummer D. J.

Bombora is an indigenous Australian term for an area of large sea waves breaking over a shallow area such as a submerged rock shelf , reef , or sand bank that is located some distance from the shoreline and beach surf break . In slang it is also called a bommie . As the wave passes over the shallow area its shape is raised and steepened , creating a localised wave formation . The size and shape of bombora waves makes them attractive to surfers willing to take the risk of riding what is generally considered a hazardous pursuit . These formations can pose a significant danger even in good weather as a bombora may not be identifiable because it may not always have breaking waves . The term Bombora was given wide circulation in 2009 on ABC TV with the airing of a documentary titled Bombora - The Story of Australian Surfing , which received a nomination for the 2010 Logie Awards in Australia . The documentary explored historical dimensions of the relationship between surf culture and Australian cultural identity . Bombora is also the title of a popular music instrumental released in 1963 by Australian surf rock band The Atlantics . The term bombora is also used for a sketchy surf spot where waves seem to break on the outside .
The Atlantics are an Australian surf rock band founded in 1961 . Initially , the band lineup consisted of drummer Peter Hood , bassist Bosco Bosanac , Theo Penglis on lead and rhythm guitar , and guitarist Eddy Matzenik . Matzenik was replaced by Jim Skaithitis while the band was still in its earliest stages . The band 's claim to fame was as Australia 's most successful of the genre . Most well known for their classic hit , Bombora , their later recordings such as Come On are examples of 1960s garage rock . They were the first Australian rock band to write their own hits . In 2000 the group reformed with three of the original members , and continue to release new material and perform in concert . In 2013 the group celebrated the 50th Anniversary of their first album , Bombora and the eponymous single that was their first to chart . A European tour was organised to mark the occasion . 'Bombora ' was added to the National Film and Sound Archive 's Sounds of Australia registry in 2013 . Note : There was a rock band in the Boston area called the Atlantics in the 1980s ; songs included Weekend and Lonelyhearts . They had an album on ABC Records called Big City Rock .
In Dreams is a song composed and sung by rock and roll performer Roy Orbison . An operatic ballad of lost love , it was released as a single on Monument Records in February 1963 . It became the title track on the album In Dreams , released in July of the same year . The song has a unique structure in seven musical movements in which Orbison sings through two octaves , beyond the range of most rock and roll singers . The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at number 7 , and charted in the United Kingdom for five months while Orbison toured sharing billing with the Beatles . It gained notability again in 1987 when Orbison released a re-recorded anthology of his greatest hits ; the year prior David Lynch had used the song provocatively in his dark thriller Blue Velvet , helping to revive Orbison 's career . The theme of the song was interwoven in similar compositions throughout his tenure as a musician . As a result , several collections of Orbison 's music share the title of the song . Rolling Stone listed In Dreams at number 319 of their 500 Greatest Songs of All Time .
Roy Kelton Orbison ( April 23 , 1936 - December 6 , 1988 ) was an American singer , songwriter , and musician known for his impassioned singing style , complex song structures , and dark , emotional ballads . Many critics described his music as operatic , nicknaming him the Caruso of Rock and the Big O . While most male rock-and-roll performers in the 1950s and 1960s projected a defiant masculinity , many of Orbison 's songs conveyed vulnerability . He performed standing still , wearing black clothes to match his dyed black hair and dark sunglasses . Orbison began singing in a rockabilly and country-and-western band in high school . He was signed by Sam Phillips , of Sun Records , in 1956 , but his greatest success came with Monument Records . From 1960 to 1966 , 22 of his singles reached the Billboard Top 40 , and he wrote or co-wrote almost all that rose to the Top 10 , including Only the Lonely ( 1960 ) , Running Scared ( 1961 ) , Crying ( 1961 ) , In Dreams ( 1963 ) , and Oh , Pretty Woman ( 1964 ) . Soon afterward , he was struck by a number of personal tragedies while his record sales declined . In the 1980s , Orbison experienced a resurgence in popularity following the success of several cover versions of his songs . In 1988 , he co-founded the Traveling Wilburys , a rock supergroup , with George Harrison , Bob Dylan , Tom Petty , and Jeff Lynne . Orbison died of a heart attack in December 1988 at the age of 52 . One month later , Orbison 's song You Got It ( 1989 ) , co-written with Lynne and Petty , was released as a solo single and became his first hit to reach the U.S. Top 10 in nearly 25 years .
Big Girls Do n't Cry is a song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio and originally recorded by The Four Seasons . It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 17 , 1962 , and , like its predecessor Sherry , spent five weeks in the top position but never ranked in the Billboard year-end charts of 1962 or 1963 . The song also made it to number one , for three weeks , on Billboard 's Rhythm and Blues survey . According to Gaudio , he was dozing off while watching the John Payne/Rhonda Fleming/Ronald Reagan movie Tennessee 's Partner ( 1955 ) when he heard Payne 's character slap Fleming in the face . After the slap , Fleming 's character replied , Big girls do n't cry . Gaudio wrote the line on a scrap of paper , fell asleep , and wrote the song the next morning . However , the now-famous line does not appear in the Ronald Reagan film . According to Bob Crewe , he himself was dozing off in his Manhattan home with the television on when he awoke to see John Payne manhandling Rhonda Fleming in Slightly Scarlet , a 1956 film noir based on a James M. Cain story . The line is heard in that film . Like Sherry , the lead in Big Girls Do n't Cry is sung mostly in falsetto . With this song , the Four Seasons became the first rock-era act to hit the top spot on the Hot 100 with their first two chart entries ( their first single , Bermuda/Spanish Lace , did not appear on any Billboard chart in 1961 ) . Various episodes of Happy Days feature this song , most notably when it is played in the jukebox at Arnold 's diner .
The Four Seasons are an American rock and pop band that became internationally successful in the 1960s and 1970s . Since 1970 , they have also been known at times as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons . In 1960 , the band known as The Four Lovers evolved into the Four Seasons , with Frankie Valli as the lead singer , Bob Gaudio ( formerly of the Royal Teens ) on keyboards and tenor vocals , Tommy DeVito on lead guitar and baritone vocals , and Nick Massi on electric bass and bass vocals . The legal name of the organization is the Four Seasons Partnership , formed by Gaudio and Valli taken after a failed audition in 1960 . While singers , producers , and musicians have come and gone , Gaudio and Valli remain the band 's constant ( with each owning fifty percent of the act and its assets , including virtually all of its recording catalog ) . Gaudio no longer plays live , leaving Valli as the only member of the band from its inception who is touring as of 2019 [ update ] . The Four Seasons were one of only two American bands ( the other being the Beach Boys ) to enjoy major chart success before , during , and after the British Invasion . The band 's original line-up was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 , and joined the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999 . They are one of the best-selling musical groups of all time , having sold an estimated 100 million records worldwide .
You 'll Never Walk Alone is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel . In the second act of the musical , Nettie Fowler , the cousin of the protagonist Julie Jordan , sings You 'll Never Walk Alone to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband , Billy Bigelow , the male lead , falls on his knife and dies after a failed robbery attempt . It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise ( Billy and Julie 's daughter ) is a member . The now invisible Billy , who has been granted the chance to return to Earth for one day in order to redeem himself , watches the ceremony and is able to silently motivate the unhappy Louise to join in the song . The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world , where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on matchday ; this tradition developed at Liverpool F.C . after the chart success of the 1963 single of the song by the local Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers .
Gerry and the Pacemakers were an English beat group prominent in the 1960s Merseybeat scene . In common with the Beatles , they came from Liverpool , were managed by Brian Epstein , and were recorded by George Martin . They are most remembered for being the first act to reach number one in the UK Singles Chart with their first three single releases : How Do You Do It ? , I Like It and You 'll Never Walk Alone . This record was not equalled for 20 years , until the mid-1980s success of fellow Liverpool band Frankie Goes to Hollywood . Another of their most famous songs , Ferry Cross the Mersey , refers to the River Mersey that flows past Liverpool .
Al Martino ( born Jasper Cini ; October 7 , 1927 - October 13 , 2009 ) was an American singer and actor .

Their range covers pop , rock , surf rock and ballads with a jazz influence . The core members from 1958 to 2015 were Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch . Along with the Fender guitar , another cornerstone of the Shadows sound was the Vox amplifier . The Shadows , with Cliff Richard , dominated British popular music in the late 1950s and early 1960s in the years before the Beatles . The Shadows ' number one hits included Apache , Kon-Tiki , Wonderful Land , Foot Tapper and Dance On ! . They disbanded in 1968 , but reunited in the 1970s for further commercial success . The Shadows are the fourth most successful act in the UK singles chart , behind Elvis Presley , the Beatles , and Cliff Richard .

The CD and cassette versions of the album contained the extra track Not Responsible ( one of few Deep Purple songs with profane lyrics , as the word fucking can be heard in the song ) . The album was remastered and reissued on 22 June 1999 with the bonus instrumental track Son of Alerik . The latter had previously been available as a B-side on the single Perfect Strangers in 1984 .
