Who were the four members of The Beatles?

The four members of The Beatles were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. This is the canonical lineup of the famous English rock band during its most successful recording and touring years.

Lennon and McCartney were the group's principal songwriting partnership. Harrison became an important songwriter in his own right, contributing songs such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something", while Starr provided the band's distinctive drumming and occasionally sang lead on tracks including "With a Little Help from My Friends".

The Beatles' lineup was not always this exact. Before Ringo Starr joined in 1962, Pete Best was the band's drummer, and Stuart Sutcliffe played bass during the group's early Hamburg period. George Martin was the group's record producer, not a member, and Brian Epstein managed the band.

The classic four-piece released twelve original UK studio albums between 1963 and 1970. Their final studio album, "Let It Be", appeared after the group had effectively broken up.
