The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show

I remember it well, exciting times back then! :cool:

 

The beginning of the British invasion, soon followed by the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Animals, the Yardbirds, the Moody Blues, & the Zombies. Those were my favorite British bands. I preferred their music to the Beach Boys & Dave Clark 5. I also liked it better than Motown music.

I liked all those groups too Lois, remember listening to old Stones songs that weren't big on the radio, like Sitting on a Fence, and Backstreet Girl. Kinks, Animals, Yardbirds, and Zombies were all cool. Hubby got me into the Moody Blues when I was older, Lazy Day has been my earworm lately, lol. I did like to dance, so I got into the rhythm of all the Motown music too....good memories for sure! :sentimental:
 
Ed Sullivan was on Sunday nights and that was the only night we were allowed to stay up late to watch TV. I remember when the Beatles were on as clear as if it were yesterday.
I liked them all, rock and roll, jazz, big band and Motown. I never did get into the country and western - all the songs were so sad!
 
When they came to San Francisco and were staying at a hotel on the peninsula, my buddy convinced me we should go and join in the melee . . . It was interesting to say the least with screaming girls running back and forth claiming to see them in a window or chasing various cars...
 
Whatsisname, The Father of My Children, and I watched them on Ed Sullivan that night. Was it really 50 years ago? Seems like last week:D I was five months pregnant at the time and since DD will be 50 this spring, I guess it wasn't last week after all.
 
I saw all of those who appeared on Ed Sullivan.
Tell the truth I thought they were just a fad and
would be gone in no time.
