Not surprisingly, The Beatles broke up on this day in 1970.  

It started with Paul McCartney officially leaving the group but the guys had not played together for about a year.      In other words, The Beatles had not really been a group since they recorded "Abbey Road" in the spring and summer of 1969.

2 months after the official breakup, McCartney released a solo album.  It was so "solo" that he played every instrument.   The most popular song was "Maybe I'm amazed" although it was never released as a 45 in the US.
