Good evening, everybody, and welcome to another evening of music, memories, and conversations. I was a bit stumped about what to have as our topic of choice tonight. Then, as I was walking back from checking my mail, the Beatles popped into my head and the rest, as they say, is history.
The British Invasion was a cultural phenomenon of the mid-1960s, when rock and pop music acts from the United Kingdom[2] and other aspects of British culture became popular in the United States and significant to the rising "counterculture" on both sides of the Atlantic.
According to Michael Ross, "It is somewhat ironic that the biggest moment in the history of popular music was first experienced in the US as a television event." The Ed Sullivan Show had for some time been a "comfortable hearth-and-slippers experience." Not many of the 73 million viewers watching in February 1964 would fully understand what impact the band they were watching would have.[25
Pop and rock groups such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks,[4] the Dave Clark Five,[5] Herman's Hermits, the Zombies, and the Animals were at the forefront of the "invasion".[6]. en.m.wikipedia.org/...
I remember watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show — I was 7 years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. February 9, 1964 73 million people turned into watch. They performed five songs.
