You can better understand why he was so great. Now I know why they called him the 5th Beatle.

I remember walking down Whitechapel in Liverpool where Brian Epstein had one of his stores (NEMS) and a friend (who later became the youngest Bank Manager in Liverpool) said of the huge picture of The Beatles in NEMS window "They'll never make it...just look at them!' Hmmm. Of course he was not alone.
