In 1964, It was the Beatlesʹ first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” “Ladies and gentlemen,” intoned Sullivan, “the Beatles!” With that, the variety-show host turned stiffly to the studio audience, gesturing for a reaction. His prompting was utterly superfluous. The ecstatic screams of the predominantly female audience all but drowned out Sullivanʹs next words: “Letʹs bring them on!” As the Fab Four launched into “All My Loving,” the camera moved to the crowd, where a plump, dark-haired girl stood poleaxed, in an advanced state of shock. Nearby, another girl couldnʹt stop bouncing, clutching her hair, and screaming. As the band downshifted into the ballad “Till There Was You,” graphics appeared on the screen, identifying each of the Beatles by name. Under Johnʹs tag, it read: “Sorry girls, heʹs married.” The frenzy reached a peak as the boys jolted into “She Loves You,” singing, “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” and shaking their hair. They would return for two more songs later in the show and again a week later for another appearance from Miami, but pop-culture history had already been rewritten. This was one of those seismic events about which people ask, “Where were you when?”
