On this date in 1964,television and music history was made when The Beatles made their US debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.They had arrived on February 7th at JFK Airport accompanied by producer Phil Spector and others and their appearance set off the British Invasion and invited the pans of critics,who proclaimed the group to be a "fad"!Two days after Ed Sullivan,they appeared in concert for the 1st time in America at the old Washington Coliseum in DC.I will have to dust off my copy of the Beatles Number Ones CD and spin it tomorrow!Yes,I listen to the Beatles-I even have a copy of "Wingspan",from Paul McCartneys Wings.LOL.Nevertheless the Beatles are still one of the greatest groups of all times.
