Can't Buy Me Love: The Beatles, Britain, and America
Description
This sweeping cultural and musical history explores how the Beatles became the defining sound of a transformative decade on both sides of the Atlantic. Tracing their rise from Liverpool clubs to worldwide influence, it examines the social currents, media forces, and changing identities of Britain and America that helped turn four musicians into a global phenomenon. Along the way, the book follows the evolution of the group’s music while illuminating themes of youth culture, transatlantic exchange, celebrity, and social change. Richly researched and vividly told, it places the Beatles at the center of the 1960s’ artistic and cultural revolution.
