Brian Epstein played a key part to the Beatles success. He was the owner of a music shop. One night he saw the Beatles performing in a place called the cavern club and he saw the potential in them. He then became the manger of them and went on to get them bigger gigs performing. He also changed the look of the Beatles from a rugged style to a clean and sharp one.

Even though the Beatles were very popular in the U.K. they didn't try to go to America right away and tour. The reason why was because many other bands who tried going to America from the U.K. had failed. They would only go to America if they had a hit song there and In 1963 they accomplished this with the single "I Want To Hold Your Hand". They came to America and performed on a very important TV show called the Ed Sullivan show. During that performance they made history there was said to be 73 million viewers which is something truly amazing. They had the power to bring that many different people to watch them which not only can say how special music is to people but how special the Beatles are to people
