You know, something that's often forgotten about the Beatles is that they had taste. They would save up and buy the .45s that came across from America when they came out -- I've read all their biographies -- it's always good music. Obviously they were extremely impressed with Buddy Holly. But also black musicians who, in that era, it took a little extra thought to be fans of. That's an important part of why they ended up where they did.
