Brian Samuel Epstein Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Brian Samuel Epstein (19 September 1934 – 27 August 1967) was an English music entrepreneur, best known for managing the Beatles until his death in 1967.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 of the major recording companies in London, Epstein secured a meeting with George Martin, head of EMI's Parlophone label. In May 1962, Martin agreed to sign the Beatles, partly due to Epstein's conviction that the group would become internationally famous.The Beatles' early success has been attributed to Epstein's 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. The Beatles' unquestioning loyalty to Epstein would later prove detrimental, as the band rarely read contracts before signing them. Shortly after the song "Please Please Me" rose to the top of the charts in 1963, Epstein advised the creation of Northern Songs, a publishing company that would control the copyrights of all Lennon-McCartney compositions recorded between 1963 and 1973. Music publisher Dick James and his partner Charles Silver owned 51% of the company, Lennon and McCartney each owned 20%, and Epstein owned 9%. By 1969, Lennon and McCartney had lost control of all publishing rights, which are now solely owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Still, Epstein's death in 1967 marked the beginning of the group's downfall, and had a profound effect on the individual Beatles. In 1997, Paul McCartney said, "If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian."In the last several years, Epstein has gained increased notoriety for his influence on the Beatles and his complicated personal life. In 2012, Tom Hanks announced that his production company Playtone will back a biopic of the famed Beatles manager. They describe the movie as "the story of a man who threw the biggest party of the 1960s, but ultimately forgot to invite himself." In 2013, author Vivek Tiwary released a graphic novel titled The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story. A film of the same name is being produced by Bruce Cohen and directed by Peyton Reed, and is scheduled for release in 2014. Tiwary stated that the film "will be less a music bio and more of an inspirational human-interest story about an outsider."

#	Trademark
1	Posh, dapper, well-mannered, with a strong sense of the theatrical

#	Quote
1	They get, you know, whatever they want from their earnings, and their earnings go into their own company.
2	Well, then we got to know each other and eventually worked out a bit of idea of management.
3	I am determined to go through the horror of this world.
4	But I think traveling around and going around the world and making arrangements for moving around is the most difficult thing, 'cuz you don't know what's going to happen.
5	Well, I don't know about the dizzy height, but I always thought they were going to be pretty big.

#	Fact
1	John Lennon has stated that the Beatles died when Brian Epstein died, though most fans point to Yoko Ono as the ultimate reason leading to the band's break-up.
2	Appeared without any of the Beatles on live American TV on the night of October 18, 1964 when he was a contestant on "What's My Line?" (1950). After panelist Bennett Cerf guessed his line, moderator John Daly plugged Epstein's new book "A Cellarful of Noise".
3	He formed The Beatles's final lineup and image, thus becoming the original manager of the Beatles as they are known to the world. He fired drummer Pete Best who did not pass the critical audition at Abbey Road Studios.
4	A coroner ruled that his death was caused by "incautious self-overdoses" of Carbital and other barbiturates; he had continued to take the pills without allowing earlier doses to flush out of his system, finally building up to toxic levels. All the same, there was speculation that Epstein had either committed suicide (which he had earlier attempted by overdose), or had been poisoned as part of a conspiracy. The Beatles and Epstein's staff rejected both possibilities, considering his death an unfortunate accident.
5	His autobiography, "A Cellarful of Noise", published during the height of "Beatlemania", was mostly written by The Beatles's press agent Derek Taylor, based on his interviews with Epstein.
6	Was given a copy of The Velvet Underground's first album (with the banana cover) by one of his contacts, and played it almost incessantly during a 1967 vacation. Reportedly considered bringing the Velvets to England to perform, but died before things could be worked out.
7	Along with their business dealings, he and George Martin also developed a casual friendship; he would join Martin and wife-to-be Judy Lockhart-Smith on afternoons or evenings out. Epstein's wedding gift to the two was a set of silver napkin rings - eleven, to commemorate the number present at the bridal dinner.
8	Was The Beatles' second manager (after Allan Williams), and referred to them as "the boys".
9	Besides The Beatles, he also managed Cilla Black, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer, and Tommy Quickly, while his NEMS Enterprises lineup included The Bee Gees, Jimi Hendrix and Cream.
10	Sponsored the only concerts given in England by The Monkees in the 1960s; a series of shows at Wembley.
11	Epstein at first thought the name The Beatles sounded silly, when he saw it on a Liverpool concert bill. In asking his staff about them, though, he was surprised to learn they were among his frequent customers, sometimes browsing NEMS between shows at the Cavern, and he'd liked the members he'd dealt with.
12	Studied for three terms at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London; his classmates included Peter O'Toole and Susannah York.
13	Ran a record shop concession in a chain of furniture stores owned by his father.
14	Was dismissed from the British Army for being "incurably civilian", but was given a good character reference: "Sober, conscientious, and utterly trustworthy".
15	While he preferred listening to classical music, he had a keen sense of pop music trends.
16	It has often-- but erroneously-- been repeated that John Lennon wrote the song "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," after rejecting one of Brian's romantic advances. No credible information to substantiate this apocrypha exists, despite being published by many mainstream publications.
