60 years ago today - The Beatles’ perform on The Ed Sullivan Show to a TV audience of 73 million.

“We were aware that Ed Sullivan was the big one because we got a telegram from Elvis and the Colonel. And I’ve heard that while the show was on there were no reported crimes, or very few. When The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, even the criminals had a rest for ten minutes.” - George

I remember that night vividly because they changed my life for the better. I will aways be grateful for The Beatles who changed my perspective radically at the age of ten.

I remember very well at 8 yrs old sitting on the floor in front of the TV while my family, aunts and uncles gathered around the DR table in view of the TV having cake and coffee. It was so incredibly exciting for me. ❤❤❤

Hard to explain if you didn't live through it. There was a buzz going on that I've never felt since. I was only six. The way they looked, played, and sang was so new and fresh. This music was made for me!
They went ahead and changed the world.

My 5th birthday was February 9th, 1964. I asked my mom and dad to let me stay up to watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan because my 12 year female cousin told me about them when she babysat me. I became an instant fan and have been ever since. They were and always will be the GOAT. 😊

[lisettegarcia]

Sixty years since The Beatles came to America and began the British Invasion, then sixty years since they performed on the Ed Sullivan Show. Beatlemania really swept through the nation and it's still going on strong!

Let's keep remembering their legacies as a band and a solo artist everyone!

Peace and Love! ✌️&💗

Happy 60th Birthday 🥳 and love and ☮️❤!
