It is difficult to measure the level of influence of this Beatles had for music. And the situation involves different generations. An example of this is Sabrina Carpentiere: despite being born almost 30 years after the end of the Fab Four’s activities, the artist saw her life changed by the group.

In a 2018 interview with Vogue Teenager (go Ultimate classic rock), Carpenter emphasized the music of Beatles which basically started his career. Launched in the famous White album (1968), “Rocky Raccoon” was heard by the little one Sabrina by chance – and it was enough to light the spark of a future musical artist.

The singer said:

I specifically remember being with my dad driving to the place where he got his hair cut. I don’t know why, he didn’t really have any hair… Anyway, we were about to cut his hair and I remember he put on this song. And immediately I thought, ‘This is music?’.”

The opinion of Carpenter ON “Rocky Raccoon” It’s interesting because it goes beyond the lyrics or the melody. Since he was a child, the artist has been able to perceive nuances and characteristics typical of his signature compositions John Lenon AND Paul McCartney.

Sabrina said:

That song… I think a lot of people probably just think, ‘Oh, the Beatles they were stoned when they wrote this.’ I mean, they were facts, but there was also a story behind it, and they kind of did that with all their songs. And it really made me want to become a singer-songwriter.”

I definitely started crying a little, which isn’t something I do a lot. I will always remember him and hope to see him again.”
