The British Rock Invasion
In the fifties of the last century the traditional jazz movement brought visiting blues music artists to Britain. in 1955 Lonnie Donegan's hit "Rock Island Line" had greatimpact, and helped to develop the skiffle music groups throughout the country, including John Lennon's The Quarrymen.
"Move It" by Cliff Richard was the first British rock 'n' roll hit with. At the beginning of the 1960s, Cliff Richard's backing group The Shadows was one of the groups having big success with instrumental music. While rock 'n' roll was fading into lightweight pop and ballads, British rock groups, influenced by blues-rock pioneers like Alexis Korner, were starting to play with an intensity and drive seldom found in white American acts.

By the end of 1962, the British rock scene had started with beat groups like the Beatles drawing on a wide range of American influences including soul music, rhythm and blues and surf music. Initially, they reinterpreted standard American tunes, playing for dancers doing the twist, for example. These groups eventually infused their original rock compositions with increasingly complex musical ideas and a distinctive sound. In mid-1962 The Rolling Stones started as one of a number of groups increasingly showing blues influence, along with The Animals and The Yardbirds.

British rock broke in the United States in January 1964 with the success of the Beatles. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was the band's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, starting the British Invasion of the American music charts. The song entered the chart on January 18 1964 at number 45 before it became the number one single for 7 weeks and went onto last a total of 15 weeks in the chart. It also held the top spot in the United Kingdom charts. A million copies of the single had already been ordered on its release. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" became The Beatles' best-selling single worldwide.
