The Beatles, clockwise from top left,Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison are shown on an album cover in 1965. More than 40 years after it barred the iconic British band from playing there, Israel said it wants the surviving members of the Beatles to participate in a concert celebrating the country's 60th birthday. But the Israeli embassy in London denied a report that the Jewish state had apologized for its original refusal to let the Beatles play there. The band had been booked to appear in 1965, but the government refused to grant the necessary permits on the ground that its music might corrupt the country's morals. Copyright Apple Corps Ltd.

Storming onto both the U.K. and U.S. pop charts in the 1960s with such hits as "Do You Want to Know a Secret,"Love Me Do," and "Twist and Shout," the Beatles became the most popular band in the world and most of the most influential pop bands of all time. They released several records during the ’60s and ’70s, included the classic "Help!", "Revolver," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," The Beatles, "Yellow Submarine," "Abbey Road," and "Let It Be." While the band was initially part of the "British Invasion," which featured many of prominent English acts of the time, they quickly outpaced their peers and eventually mastered several types of music, fusing pop, rock, psychedelic and other genres such as blues together into extremely catchy pop gems.
