Miniskirts became fashion must-haves, 'The Addams Family' made its debut on television and 'The Beatles' began touring in America - all in the year 1964. Miniskirts are still popular, 'The Addams Family' is still being televised and 'The Beatles' are still touring - hypothetically speaking. Though not the original mop-tops, The Fab Four will be delivering 'The Ultimate Tribute to the Beatles' in Cedartown on Saturday, April 12. The Cedartown Civic Auditorium will by hosting this tribute show at 8 p.m.

The Fab Four a group of Southern California Beatle sound-alikes, will perform numerous song selections taken from the different stages of The Beatles musical career. The show will first highlight the early era of the rock ‘n’ roll band. Playing songs such as 'She Loves You', 'I Want to Hold Your Hand', and 'I Saw Her Standing There', the group will portray the image that the original band produced on 'The Ed Sullivan Show'. Covering what Beatle fans refer to as the Sgt. Pepper phase of the band, 'The Fab Four' will perform 'Penny Lane', and 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. The show also covers the band from the years 1967 through 1970. Ballads such as 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be' will be performed by the tribute group. The group members, Ardy Sarraf, Rolo Sandolval, Michael Amador and Ron McNeil, have been praised for recreating the sound of 'The Beatles.'

According to The Fab Four official website, the band "entered Capitol Records studios in Hollywood of March 2000 and to the delight and amazement of movie executives, the band faithfully recreated 'The Beatles' hits 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', 'Please Please Me' and 'Kansas City'..." Just six months later 'The Fab Four' delivered again when MGM asked for an exact replica of The Beatles version of the song 'Money'. The Fab Four perform live, onstage without the aid of backup tapes, sequences or backing tracks.
