AMERICA MET THE BEATLES ON THIS SHOW
The Beatles made several appearances on The Ed
Sullivan Show, including three in February 1964
that were among their first appearances in front
of an American audience.
Their first appearance, on February 9, was seen
by over 73 million viewers and was regarded as
a cultural watershed that launched American
Beatlemania—as well as the wider British
Invasion of American pop music and
inspired many young viewers to become rock
musicians.
The band also made another appearance during
their 1965 U.S.tour.

MUSIC HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY
Rising American rock stars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P.
“The Big Bopper” Richardson, along with the pilot, were killed
when their chartered Beechcraft Bonanza plane crashed in
Iowa a few minutes after takeoff from Mason City on a flight
headed for Moorhead, Minnesota. Investigators blamed the
crash on bad weather and pilot error.
Pictured above is a Beechcraft Bonanza similar to the one
chartered for the flight.
