* Game 4, Round 2 - Entertainment - Fifth Beatles
Throughout the Beatles' career, many people have been referred
to as "the fifth Beatle." Here are 10 questions about various
fifth Beatles. In each case name them.
1. The Beatles' first manager was this former furniture salesman,
who helped the band achieve enormous success before his death
in 1967.
2. This producer probably gets the "fifth Beatle" accolade more
than any other; he wrote many of the orchestral sections of
the Beatles' songs, and often played keyboards in the studio
for them.
3. This musician was the Beatles' original bassist (McCartney then
played rhythm guitar), but left the band in 1961 when he decided
to stay in Hamburg and pursue visual art. He died in 1962 of
a brain hemorrhage.
4. This musician was the Beatles' original drummer, playing with
them until 1962 when they fired him in favor of Ringo Starr.
6. This schoolmate of Harrison and McCartney became the band's
personal assistant, played minor roles on a handful of tracks
(such as harmonica on "For The Benefit of Mr. Kite"), and
eventually became the CEO of Apple Records, a position he held
until just before his death in 2008.
7. Only two musicians have ever received written performance credit
on a Beatles song other than the four Beatles. The first was
this Hamburg-based British musician, who invited the Beatles
to be his backing band in 1961 (they performed as the "Beat
Brothers").
8. The other musician to receive written performance credit on
a Beatles song was this keyboardist, whom the band considered
inviting to join.
10. Finally, both George Harrison (with two) and John Lennon (with
one) have children with significant music careers of their own,
and fans have frequently speculated that one of the children
might fill their father's shoes. Name *any one* of these three
musical children -- first and last name required.

Dhani Harrison, Julian Lennon, Sean Lennon. 4 for Joshua (the hard
way), Erland, Dan, and Pete.
10. Finally, both George Harrison (with two) and John Lennon (with
one) have children with significant music careers of their own...
There was an error in the question, as George Harrison had only one
child while John Lennon had two.
