John Lennon and Paul McCartney appear on NBC-TV’s Tonight  Show
with guest-host Joe Garagiola sitting in for Johnny Carson. Actress
Tellulah Bankhead (far right) was also a guest on the show.

The video of this interview no longer exists. Almost all of the 1962 to
1970 episodes were erased by NBC (taped over). This audio of the
show was recorded by a Beatles fan who decided to capture the TV
interview by placing a small tape recorder next to their TV set.

Wells was first signed to Motown by Berry Gordy when she was only 
seventeen, releasing the song that became her first hit, "Bye Bye
Baby." She became one of Motown’s first superstars with a string of
hit singles composed by Smokey Robinson, including “Two Lovers”
(1962), the Grammy-nominated “You Beat Me to the Punch” (1962)
and her mega signature hit, “My Guy” (1964).

Of the 34 songs Anita recorded with Krupa, it was "Let Me Off Uptown",
