The Beatles were still together
Although it was widely speculated that the band had spent the 1960s slowing drifting apart, it didn’t become official until the Spring of 1970. That was the year Paul McCartney made statements promoting his solo album that the international media chose to accept as the official announcement of the breakup. While they’re now a distant memory, it’s hard to find popular music today that wasn’t in some way influenced by the Beatles.
