Do you know much about the Beatles?
I know they were an English Rock Band from 1960. Do you like them? 
Not really - I know a lot of people do - they were just not really big when I was a teenager.
I was not a fan either but I did see where John Lennon died and it was moving. The Beatles built their reputation playing clubs in Liverpool.
Yeah, he died in NY didn't he?
Yes in front of his apartment. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison went through a succession of drummers, including Pete Best, before asking Starr to join them in 1962.
Ringo Starr?  I remember some of the names, but remember McCartney more as a stand-alone singer.
Yes, he turned them down because he thought they would not be a success. After that Manager Brian Epstein moulded them into a professional act we know them as. 
Did they ever win any awards?
They had to. In 1963 their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania" that's pretty big.
