1/ #OTD 12/8/1980 #JohnLennon assassinated in NYC. His group, #TheBeatles, is music’s most successful act ever. It dominated pop #music and culture unlike any before or since. John Lennon was on more US Billboard #1 songs (~24) except partner #PaulMcCartney (~30). Rest in Peace.
2/ Beatles’ lineup was #JohnLennon, Paul McCartney, #GeorgeHarrison and #RingoStarr. The Fab Four were the first British singers to ever top the American Billboard charts and launched the British Invasion in 1964. From Love Me Do to The End in 1970, they were for peace and love.
