The Beatles were truly the best musical group of the sixties. Their genre incorporated and was reflective of the times. One could reflect on the events that were happening at the time the songs were written. We could even get into their minds and experience the transcendence of their lives as time went on. Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce The Beatles next album before their breakup.

Name of album- TRANSCENDENCE

There were 6 songs on each side of the album. Here they are:

SIDE A- IF I COULD

IMAGINE

LET ME IN

LET'S LIVE IN PEACE

TRANSCENDENCE

HARE KRISHNA

SIDE B- PEACE! NOT WAR!

YOU'RE 16

YOKO ONO BADI MINGO

LET YOUR LOVE FLOW

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME FOR WHAT I SAID

EVERYTHING MUST END SOME DAY

This is the album that would have been produced in 1970. Having been a part of Beatlemania has been a wonderful experience through my personal life. I listened to the songs in high school, and now at age 54, I still get goosebumps when I hear a Beatle song played. Beatles Forever! I taught mathematics at the high school level at Raymondville, Texas in 1977. Most of my students could relate to the Beatles even though they were rather young when Beatles' songs came out. It seems as if in this time and era, Beatlemania is still prevalent, especially in my geographical location, Mcallen, Texas. This is an area that borders the country of Mexico. Yet, even though the two countries are somewhat culturally divided to a certain degree, most of the Mexican people I speak to have heard of and enjoy Beatles music. The Beatles may have faded as a group, but their spirit and presence will persist forever!
So let us hear it with a thunderous round of applause for John Lennon. Paul Mccartney,Ringo Starr, and George Harrison! How many of my readers can proudly say that they are true Beatles fans? If you are around my age, I'm sure that if you allowed yourself to be a part of the rock era, and you indulged yourself with the premier band to rock America, then you may proudly acknowledge that The Beatles truly became a part of your life and created a numerous amount of memories for yourself through their songs. Even though The Beatles made a few bad decisions in their lives, relative to their consequential effects on their fans, prevalence ensued. Thank you England for producing The Beatles!
