No it wouldn’t.
There is more continuity and public appearances and elevator music and media appearances and mention on music shows about the Beatles and Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney, than the example of a 1915 musician in 1974, when Paul, Wings, and the Beatles were super stars, not to mention how big 1960s music still has importance in current America.
Chronologically it’s equivalent. The differences you cite are all very real and are a result of changes in communications media but it helps to have a sense of proportion about stuff like this.
