        Beatlemania is a very strong feeling for the group, The Beatles. The Beatles were four young musicians from Liverpool, England. Their names were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. These four men never took music lessons. They taught themselves to play music.

        In 1957,  John started a group called the Quarrymen. He was 16 years old. Then he met Paul. They began to write songs and sing together. Soon, George joined them. The group started to play in England and make money. They went to Germany and played concerts there too. The group had different names. They also had some different musicians. In 1962 Ringo joined them. Then John, Paul, George and Ringo were the Beatles.

        The Beatles made their first hit song in 1962. The song was Love Me Do. In all, they had 29 hit songs. By 1963, the Beatles were very popular in England, and Beatlemania started. They had many fans. Their fans screamed and cried. At concerts, their fans screamed very, very loudly. The Beatles could not hear themselves sing!
