If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian. Paul McCartney HB and remembering Brian Epstein one of the first brand managers in rock - it was his savvy and business approach that pushed the Beatles to the forefront of a musical/cultural revolution. Epstein first discovered the Beatles in November 1961, during a lunchtime Cavern Club performance. He was instantly impressed, and saw great potential in the group. After being rejected by nearly all major recording companies in London, Epstein secured a meeting with George Martin, head of EMIs Parlophone label. In May 1962, Martin agreed to sign the Beatles, partly due to Epsteins conviction that the group would become internationally famous. The Beatles early success has been attributed to Epsteins management style, and the band trusted him without hesitation. In addition to handling the Beatles business affairs, Epstein often stepped in to mediate personal disputes among the group.
