It should be noted that The Beatles have been influenced by (just to name a few) early Rock and Roll artists like Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, & Gene Vincent, Country and Folk Revival artist Buck Owens, Bob Dylan (respectively), Indian Music artistss namely Ravi Shankar, and yes even their contemparies like The Rolling Stones... and The Beach Boys. If The Beatles "got the gold" it was because they were standing on the shoulders of giants.
