Lee, you and other fans of the Beatles' music might be interested in a book by
the NY
Times classical music critic, Alan Kozinn, about that very subject. A very
interesting
book, and entertaining to read, also. I bought it in paperback a couple of
years back at
Borders, and I assume it's available on Amazon.com or someplace similar.
