Jonathan Gould's Can't Buy Me Love is more than just a book on the
Beatles; it's a stunning recreation of the 1960s in England and
America through the prism of the world's most iconic band. The
Beatles, perhaps more than any act before or since, were a
quintessential product of their time, and Gould brilliantly blends
cultural history, musical analysis and group biography to show the
unique part they played in the shaping of post-war Britain and
America. Gould examines the influence of R&B, rockabilly,
skiffle and Motown as the Fab Four forged a sound of their own; he
illuminates the mercurial relationship the most productive and
lucrative in recording music history between John Lennon and Paul
McCartney; he critiques the songs they played and the movies they
made, and their impact on competing bands and musicians, as well as
on fashion, hairstyles, and humour; and he shows how events on both
sides of the Atlantic created exactly the right cultural climate
for the biggest music phenomenon of 20th century. Beautifully
written, insightful, and wonderfully evocative, this is a
magisterial biography by a popular historian of the very first
rank.
