On October 5, 1962, four young men with schoolboy haircuts released their first record: the single Love Me Do.Within a year, they were about to become the most famous band around the world.

This song that Paul McCartney began to write as a teenager started it all.

Drummer Ringo Starr described the release of the track as a "turning point"for the group.

"For me, that was more important than anything else" Starr said in 1978.

The Beatles were pioneers in recording, songwriting and artistic presentations. They revolutionized many aspects of the music industry and were leaders of sociocultural movements.

The band stopped touring in 1966because the crowds became too intense and it was just impossible to play live. They released five more albums before the band's dissolution in 1970.
