This is what my brothers and parents told me about that night the Beatles came on. My mother went into the bedroom she could not stand the Beatles and all this talk about them (she was recovering from heart surgery) My father my brothers and me (I was 2 at the time) saw this show. My brothers and father said I was bouncing up and down in my crib to the music and had a big smile on my face. Even then I knew they would be my favorite group of all time
But the Beatles appeared on tape (or film) on the Tonight Show with Jack Parr, two weeks before the Sullivan appearance. I remember talking about it with my junior high school friends the next school day.
I Want To Hold Your Hand was #1 in the charts in America on February 1st, eight days a week before the Ed Sullivan Show, and stayed at #1 for seven weeks before She Loves You moved to #1. Jack Paar had aired a clip on Jan. 3rd from the Bournemouth concert to prepare America for Beatlemania.
The description of the moods and stagnation in the US, was shown in their music. I totally agree with that description, and have always thought it was a major cause of the reception, the Beatles received , but, in no way devalued their musical abilities and fresh approach . In the US, the era before the Beatles ,was the era when many US pop stars, were named BOBBY.---Vinton, Rydell, Darin, Vee, Bare, etc.etc all cute teenager's with huge quaffs of hair combed back.
I'm not sure that the Pop Music Industry was stuck in a "commercial rut" before the Beatles arrival. Yeah I was sick of hearing The Singing Nuns and Puff the Magic Dragon but the summer of '63 was the high water mark for Girl Groups and Surf Music, not to mention many other great songs. However, The Beatles certainly did spark record sales.
How can I be The Leader of The pack when theirs no leader about no religion what is The Leader of The pack because The one that dies the one who has a Motorcycle he has an accident and dies
I don't have to go on my knees like a Muslim because Los Retiros would do The same and ask for The what you need and what i need is a Girlfriend and to try to believe in what religion you are from
It was the perfect storm but boy did the Beatles have the chops to back it up. The songs are timeless classics.
This the moment the world changed forever! I remember that time in Somerset, NJ
I remember that time , in Somerset, England.
awe we love them ❤ Liverpool on the map and i think they was bigger stateside but what a great great band
One knew the minute one first heard them, this was the future.

It seems just like yesterday...so glad I lived thru this!!!
As am I, we were lucky to live through this time that this change of the world forever
Instead of Jonas Brothers and Taylor Swift…
I’m surprised there aren’t more likes and comments. Anyway, great clips.
To see this video is something else, to be part of this era is even more special, what a great era to be a teenager like me here in the uk 🇬🇧

The John Edwards campaign ad was pretty amusing to see. considering what happened with him.

The Beatles changed the world, they got $10,000 from Ed Sullivan
Edit out the commercials.
They played Washington D.C. before Sullivan!
No, they played at the Washington Coliseum (their first US concert) after their first Sullivan gig and before their second Sullivan gig in Miami.
2 days later
Does Beatles benefited from the Ads?

In England there was also many other similar groups not only in Liverpool also London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol etc.
@@gingerbaker4390 True, but the Beatles made in Country wide, and dragged the other's with them
11:00 minute mark disgusting John Edwards campaign ad 🤣🤣🤣
1/2 bloody ads !
Yeah, but dig the John Edwards ad! It aired well before he was revealed to be a scumbag.
Lol, John Edwards...
How can I be The Leader of The pack when theirs no leader about no religion what is The Leader of The pack because The one that dies the one who has a Motorcycle he has an accident and dies
Too many commercials ! Too much publicity on your chain. Sorry
Using modern graphics for a period-piece from 1964? Terrible idea - yuk.
I don't have to go on my knees like a Muslim because Los Retiros would do The same and ask for The what you need and what i need is a Girlfriend and to try to believe in what religion you are from
