It was unlike any music and cultural explosion the world had ever seen, or will ever see again. The timing and circumstances and all the stars were in alignment as The Beatles took to the stage for the first time in the U.S. for their Live Performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Sunday, February 9, 1964 at 8:00PM (EST). They began with All My Loving, the perfect upbeat song to start the show. They continued with Till There Was You, a ballad from the Show Music Man. During the song each Beatle was introduced to us by first name only. Under John’s name was the bombshell “Sorry girls, he’s married.” The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein figured this song would be a good way to ‘get the parents’ interested was well. All My Loving was never a single in the U.S. yet it managed to reach the Top 20, something totally unheard of at the time! 48 years later, all those preteens and teenagers at the time have a lifetime of super memories. The Beatles and Baby Boomers came of age at the same moment and it has been quite a ride, one we are thrilled and thankful to be a part of.
Paul has chosen this day to get his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It will be at 11:00AM (PST) in front of the Capitol Tower next to the stars of John, George and Ringo.
Paul has also chosen the day to have a show in the Capitol studio where he recorded some of the track on his just released CD Kisses on the Bottom. If you go to iTunes, the private concert will be streaming live at 7PM (PST).
Ringo is in the news as well, as he just announced his 13th All Starr Band tour. HERE is the link to his website with all the details.
