June 1, 2017, marked the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles' masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which Rolling Stone selected as its greatest album of all time. Paul McCartney devised the concept of Sgt. Pepper, and wrote the title track. Beyond the music was the iconic cover showing The Beatles surrounded by historic figures, musicians, and celebrities. The album held the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold over 16 million copies in the United States and the UK.
The album incorporates an array of studio techniques which are common today, but revolutionary then, and in addition to the title track, it includes some of the most enduring Beatles hits, including Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and When I'm Sixty-Four. An enormous hit, the album won four Grammys, including album of the year in 1968 – the first rock album to do so.
