The beatles were influenced by Elvis Presley and other rock stars of the day.

One particular influence on Paul McCartney's singing style was Little Richard, who actually sat down with McCartney at a piano one day to teach him how to do the infamous "woo!"

Another specific influence was that which Carl Perkins had on George Harrison. He also brought the Eastern culture of the world to prominence in the west (he's why Indian stuff was so popular in the 60s).

John Lennon was interested in the Beat writing of the 50s.

They all generally were influenced by Elvis a lot, though.
