This book looks beyond the incredible music of the world's most successful band to analyse how it was possible to love them without even listening to their music, then explore what it's like to become a Beatle via successful tribute acts such as The Silver Beatles, The Bootleg Beatles, and The Counterfeit Beatles. How did personality, group unity, relatability, stage presence, and appearance contribute to the band's global popularity? And how does a Beatles impersonator incorporate all of that into their act to give the audience the most believable experience possible?The book will appeal to lecturers and students working in the fields of Popular Music Studies, Sociology, and English Literature, and further education (FE) tutors in similar subject areas. This book would appeal to anyone with an interest in the study of popular music.
