John Lennon
1940-1980
John Lennon was born on 9th October, 1940, during a violent air raid over Liverpool in the Second World War. He was raised by an aunt after his father was reported missing at sea, and his mother was unwilling to care for him after she remarried.
John became fascinated with rock and roll at an early age, and was part of a high-school band called The Quarry men. During an early gig he was introduced to Paul McCartney who introduced him in turn to George Harrison. Together they became The Beatles.Later on Ringo Star joined the group.
Together with Paul, John wrote the most enduring music of the 20th century. Early on in their friendship, they made a pact that music written by either of them would bear the stamp “Lennon McCartney.” The rule held, even during the Beatles eventual break-up.
The Beatles enjoyed amazing success in Britain, beginning in 1963 and in America from 1964.
