The friendship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney was one of the most important relationships in the history of popular music. The two men met in 1957, when Lennon was 16 and McCartney was 15. They quickly bonded over their shared love of music, and within a few years they had formed the Beatles, one of the most successful bands of all time.

The Beatles achieved worldwide fame in the 1960s, and their music had a profound impact on the culture of the time. The band's message of peace, love, and understanding resonated with young people all over the world, and they helped to shape the counterculture of the 1960s.
