Nevertheless, Stuart's importance to the group came from his artistic rather than his musical talent. Injected by the group's rebellious spirit of Rock n' Roll, it was regarded that their sound was "the Punk" of its day. So before the screaming girls, before the British invasion and way before Ringo, there was Stuart Sutcliffe, the fifth Beatle and a talent that should never be forgotten.
And there won't ever be no one like him he would always will the the real original fifth Beatle. He won't ever be forgotten he will always will remain in our hearts.
