The first Beatle in America George Harrison. In the late summer of 1963, four musicians from Liverpool, England John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr collectively known as the Beatles, were poised to conquer pop culture and music history. With three hit singles in England, the band anticipated their first number one record in America by taking separate holidays, Lennon to Paris, McCartney and Starr to Greece, and Harrison to America. Traveling with his older brother, Peter, Harrison came to southern Illinois to visit their sister, louise harrison caldwell, for a fortnight in the small mining town of Benton, Illinois. While in "Egypt" Harrison stayed in his sister's home at 113 McCann Street, jammed with several local musicians, performed at a VFW Hall in Eldorado with the four vests, bought a guitar in Mt. Vernon, sang "Happy birthday" at a Bocce Ball Club in Benton, and went camping in the Garden of the Gods and other sites in the Shawnee National Forest. Many of the Beatles' first recordings were played over the radio station WRFX-AM in West Frankfort and Harrison was interviewed by a local teenager, Marcia Schafer, the first interview by a Beatle in America. Harrison returned to England and came back to America with the Beatles the following February after "I Want to Hold Your Hand" rose to number one on the U.S. Charts. Harrison went on to write such classic songs as "Taxman", "While my Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun", and "Something", the second most recorded song in the Beatles catalog. He died in 2001.

James Alistair Taylor (1935-2004) Taylor was born in Curzon Street. Although christened James, he always preferred the name Alistair. After his National Service in the R.A.F., he took a variety of jobs before meeting up with Brian Epstein in 1960. He became Epstein's Personal Assistant and also General Manager at Epstein's record store, NEMS (North End Music Stores), which later expanded into a management company called NEMS Enterprises. He was with Epstein at The Cavern when he saw The Beatles for the first time on 9th November 1961. Alistair's name appears on the first management contract that The Beatles signed with Epstein. Paul McCartney nicknamed Alistair 'Mr. Fixit' because of his ability in finding quick and effective solutions to The Beatles' problems. His many and varied duties included finding escape routes from screaming fans, purchasing property, or simply being a shoulder for the band to cry on. Following Epstein's death in 1967, at the request of John Lennon, Alistair became General Manager of Apple Corps, The Beatles' business empire. After leaving Apple Corps in 1969, he went to work for Dick James' DJM Records, where he helped to promote Elton John who was then an emerging artist. He also worked with other performers such as James Taylor, Cream, Cilla Black, The Bee Gees, The Four Tops, The Moody Blues, and many more. Always approachable, Alistair was a much loved figure at Beatles fan conventions. He died in Chesterfield Royal Hospital after a short bronchial illness.
