Between 1965 and 1967 the music of the
Beatles rapidly changed and evolved,
becoming ever more subtle,
sophisticated, and varied.
In 1968 they launched their own record
label, Apple; hoping to nurture
experimental pop art, they instead
produced chaos and commercial failure,
apart from the work of the Beatles
themselves.
In the spring of 1970 the
Beatles formally disbanded.
In the years that followed, all
four members went on to
produce solo albums of
variable quality and
popularity.
In 1980 Lennon was
murdered by a demented
fan outside the Dakota, an
apartment building in New
York City known for its
celebrity tenants.
