Ivan Vaughan (18 June 1942 – 16 August 1993) was a boyhood friend of John Lennon and later a schoolmate of Paul McCartney.
Vaughan was responsible for introducing Lennon (then 16) to McCartney at a community event (the Woolton village fête) on 6 July 1957, where The Quarrymen were performing.
[1] This decision led to the formation of the Lennon and McCartney's songwriting partnership and subsequently, as The Beatles, the group went on to achieve worldwide success.
Vaughan studied classics at University College London,[3] married in 1966 and settled down to family life with a son and daughter.
[5] Vaughan's wife Jan, a language teacher, helped McCartney with the French lyrics to the Beatles' 1965 song "Michelle".
