The day Paul McCartney introduced George Harrison and John Lennon
Los Beatles It was one of the most iconic bands in history. But the group made up of Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon and Ringo Starr had another name: originally it was called The Quarry Men. Those were times when Harrison had yet to join the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century.
On July 6, 1957, Lennon and McCartney had met: they were both 16 years old. A few months later they met Harrison, the youngest of the Liverpool Fabulous Four, who at just 14 years old dazzled the two founding members with his skills as a guitarist.
As part of a trip in a two-seater bus, which took place on February 6, 1958, Harrison made everyone present delirious. The musician was about to turn 15 and was on his way to an audition with the aim of being part of a group that needed a third artist to be able to display his talent in all its splendor. In that vehicle, George played a version of “Raunchy”an instrumental song that had been made popular by Ernie Freeman.
