Exploring the Beatles influences outside rock 'n' roll

The Beatles had their rock 'n' roll influences -- Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly, to name a few, but the music that helped mold their sound also goes back a lot further. The music of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington had a role in their sound. Paul McCartney sang "'Til There Was You" and "A Taste of Honey" on their albums. The Beatles also did "The Honeymoon Song" during their BBC broadcasts.
