The Beatles: HELP!
The fifth studio album by The Beatles, Help!, was a huge improvement to their sound. John starts to write more introspective songs such as Help!, Paul starts to write more musically diverse compositions such as Yesterday, Harrison starts to write his own songs without Lennon-McCartney, and Ringo begins to develop one of his trademark country style singing. Beyond spawning three #1 singles, Help! became an album chart-topper as well as a multi-platinum seller worldwide.
