If there was one pop group that truly captured the spirit of the swinging sixties, then it was the Beatles, and any karaoke event centred around a sixties revival would be sadly lacking without plenty of popular karaoke songs by the Beatles. During the years they were active, from 1962 to 1970, the Beatles produced an incredible 214 original compositions. Often their B-side recordings featured hits as well and some of the LPs intended for the American market, differed expensively from British productions. On the first five albums, love featured prominently as a theme which was perhaps no surprise. John Lennon was at the time very much in love with his wife Cynthia, while Paul McCartney, who dated several girls throughout their rise to fame, also embraced the concept of romance. John Lennon's young son Julian also inspired a few songs, for example 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' which originated with a picture he drew in pre-school and 'Hey Jude', an expression of empathy for the boy by Paul McCartney, during his parents' divorce. With Beatle mania sometimes reaching fever pitch, this talented group left a treasure trove of memorable recordings.
