How the Beatles Saved Abbey Road Studios

Monmouth University Professor and Beatles author Kenneth Womack returns to 'Beatles Revolution' to talk about his new book 'Living the Beatles' Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans.'

Kenneth's new book is a warts-and-all biography of a mainstay of the Beatles' inner circle, a longtime roadie, assistant and devoted friend to the Fab Four, who served and protected the band through its most extraordinary times. 

Mal left a stable job in telecommunications to dive into life on the road with the Beatles, leaving his family for months on end. While quickly became a key cog in the band's machine, both on the road and in the studio, details of Mal's life away from the band have always been murky, and the circumstances leading up to his death in 1976 have remained largely unknown, until now.
