Cartoon Beatles
This is the way I first encountered The Beatles, on television as cartoon characters. Pretty much for the first several years of my life, most of the music I heard was on one cartoon show or another.
There was The Beatles, Jackson Five, the Osmonds and of course the Archies. Three of the four had real world counterparts, but that was not a distinction I made at the time.
It wasn’t until a few years later that I became aware of an actual real live musical group… The Partridge Family.
What? They weren’t!? Seriously…
Oh well.
