Insights: The Searchers’ Influence on American Rock and Roll

One of the most talented British bands in the early ’60s greatly influenced American rock and roll.

It’s the 60th anniversary of the classic ‘Meet The Beatles’ album: what a dynamic, explosive and groundbreaking recording it was.

This album could have been made anytime during the past thirty years, but even so the musical pleasures within are considerable.

It was January of 1967 when the Beatles conducted a 34-hour marathon that resulted in one of the most influential songs in rock history.
