Or Eddie, or Gene or Dino.
Everybody knows who John, Paul, George and Ringo are but most people don't know the band members of other groups.
Don't forget The Lovin' Spoonful selling out also. How can there even be a Lovin' Spoonful without John Sebastian?

I think that's the case with the majority of bands throughout history. Most people know the lead singer and in a few cases some of the other members are known. The Rolling Stones are another case where all members are pretty well know, but how many people can name all of Herman's Hermits, The Dave Clark Five, The Kinks, The Animals, Bill Haley's Comets. Buddy Holly's Crickets etc., etc., etc.
That's one of the things that contributed to the greatness of the Beatles. They had close to equal fame. People had their favorites. That was not the case with any other groups that I can think of.
Quick name the other Four Seasons.
