They Was Fab

I am a fan of The Beatles, though, sadly, they were no longer a band well before the 80s. However, their influence is prominent in 80s music.

The band members also went on to do their own solo works of art. Here are my favorite pieces from each Beatle.

John Lennon, as we all know, was cut down early in his life and early in the 80s, though his recordings were still released and hitting the charts after his untimely departure.



Paul McCartney, a highly successful singer/songwriter in his own right, contributed some lovely pieces to the music world in the 80s.



George Harrison, often referred to as the "quiet" Beatle, made some fun music in the late 1980s. Sadly, he died in 2001. My favorite song from the album, Cloud Nine, "When We Was Fab" is an especially fun video because of the many guest cameo appearances, including Ringo Starr.



Ringo Starr did some music after The Beatles, but I'm not aware of any hits of his in the 80s. He did do some acting, though. Here's a clip from a delightfully silly film called "Caveman." Not only did cave people invent music, but they had Ringo to make it into Rock n' Roll!
