Welcome to BrianEpstein.com, the official Website dedicated to celebrating the life
and achievements of Beatles manager Brian Epstein, a man whose prescience, taste,
vision and passion has left an indelible impact on our planet.
Brian Epstein is the man who discovered the Beatles, and guided them to mega-stardom, making them
the most successful musical artists of all time. Without Brian, the Beatles as we came to know
them, simply wouldn't have existed.
In 1965, both Paul McCartney and George Harrison, on being awarded their M.B.E.s by the Queen,
said "M.B.E. stands for Mr. Brian Epstein."
Brian was, truly, "the fifth Beatle". (Paul McCartney's words, not ours.)
But, regrettably, the man who did so much for the Beatles, and who died tragically in 1967, has
become a comparatively forgotten man since his death. Almost a Nowhere Man.
This official website, which was also the first website dedicated to Brian Epstein, was
created to honor Epstein and to share all the news and information about the revival of
appreciation, and to provide background and context for those who are interested in the man
behind the Beatles.
Explore all the pages on this site to learn more about Brian Epstein, and to discover all the
news of what's happening to help restore the legacy of this very significant player in the
Beatles story!
This website is also the command center for the campaign to have Brian Epstein inducted into the
non-performers' section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (alongside other music industry
vanguards such as Sam Phillips, Bill Graham and Berry Gordy).
So far, the combined on-line and hardcopy petitions contain a total of 38,747 signatures!
But, we need many more! Together, we can finally make this happen. All you have to do is
Imagine!
The Brian Epstein Rock and Roll Hall of Fame campaign is
proudly sponsored by Beatles News.
In 1998, Brian Epstein's
autobiography, A Cellarful of Noise, was finally republished in America after being out
of print for decades.
The book contains a new introduction by Sir George Martin, and an extensive companion narrative
by leading Beatles historian and authority Martin Lewis,
who is a driving force behind the campaign to restore Epstein's reputation.
