The Beatles Split

The Fab Four were no more. Paul McCartney filed a suit against John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison to dissolve The Beatles and hotlines were set up to comfort the distraught masses.

Rescue came in the shape of Marc Bolan, Mickey Finn and a ton of glitter with the new Glam Rock sound of T-Rex.

Girly hearts melted on both sides of the Atlantic with the appearance of The Osmonds, The Jackson 5, David Cassidy and Scotland�s Bay City Rollers.
