We are doing a project in class and my topic is "music in the 1970's". The only thing I know is that the Beatles were popular in the 70's. Can somebody help me please?

Mae West; famous actress refused to have her likeness on the cover of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" as she thought it ridiculous that she would ever associate herself with such a group of lovelorn losers? she later gave in after the Beatles wrote her a personal letter asking her to agree to allowing her image to appear on the album cover
James Paul McCartney = Paul McCartney
Richard Starkey = Ringo Star
Paul McCartney wrote the song Lovely Rita, Meter Maid for the album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band after getting a parking ticket from a female warden in Abbey Road.
In a contest held by Mersyside Newspaper to see who was the biggest band in Liverpool, 1962, one of the main reasons that The Beatles won was because they called in posing as different people voting for themselves.
'We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.'

Seeings The Beatles broke up by the 70's I'd imagine you'ld get a failing grade doing a project on them for 70's music.
You should pick either Elton John or The Bee Gees,
both were HUGE in the 70's, no other artists could come close

The Beatles broke up in 1970, so they really aren't 70's music.
Try a band like Led Zeppelin.

To be frank, The Beatles were not a band anymore during the 70s. They were prominent during the 60s. But if I were you, I would stick with bands like Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, stuff like that. Other than that, The Beatles' own name came from John Lennon's notion that music has a "beat" to it (note the "beat" in "Beatles"). Also, controversy revolved around one such song "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", which angered critics because of its probable reference to the drug, LSD. However, John Lennon stood with the fact that he was inspired to write the song after seeing a picture that his son, Sean, had drawn, calling it 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds'.

Michael Jackson outbid Paul McCartney for the rights of the Beatles songs, so if you hear their songs on TV, movies or commercials, that is because he allowed the songs to be played. Which I personally think is wrong that he took the rights from its owneer. but that's just me
