7 comments so far (post your own)More eclectic than the early Beatles, more mature-sounding. Used strings before Beatles' "Yesterday" and recorded protest songs before there was such a thing as folk-rock. Posted by Lindsay Wilcox on Saturday, 04/18/2015 @ 07:59am |

Sorry, four counts. Messed up in my count there. But you fail four times. My point is still the same. Posted by Philip on Saturday, 04/18/2015 @ 21:09pm |
I'm wondering if the Billy Kisto that posted on 9/20/07 is from Brooklyn (or Bronx) & in his 70's. If he sang songs from the Earls with a group of close knit friends back in 70's & 80's - I am looking for him. He was a friend of my Dads & a very nice person. Please reach out to me if you see/read this. Thanks & have a nice day. - Joanne (6/25/19) Posted by Joanne on Tuesday, 06/25/2019 @ 08:42am |

Liverpool has always been a hotbed of musical talent, from Frankie Vaughan, Alma Cogan and Billy Fury in the '50s, to The Real Thing, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and The Christians in the '70s, '80s and beyond. But it will always be remembered the most for that musical explosion of the '60s, when, for one brief moment, the city was the cultural centre of the universe, with artists that include The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer, Cilla Black, The Swinging Blue Jeans, The Merseybeats, The Fourmost, and of course The Searchers. Famous for their pioneering brand of jangly, harmonised Pop, they proved to be one of the most influential groups of all, with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, The Ramones and The Pretenders amongst those who took inspiration from the band. Yet, they're also one of the most eclectic, with a musical legacy that encompasses Folk, Country, Rhythm 'n' Blues, Rockabilly, Soul, Garage, Psychedelia, Bubblegum, Proto-Glam, Reggae, Country-Rock, Orchestrated Ballads, Power Pop, New Wave, and even Power Ballads and Synth-Pop.
