The decade is setting up for a battle between genres, artists and record labels as a series of events that unfold in 1961 will have a dramatic effect on music and pop culture for the entire decade and even longer. First and foremost, The Beatles begin their legendary Cavern Club gigs. The Beatles would play the Cavern club close to three hundred times. It was at the Cavern Club when Ringo Star made his first appearance with the group.
