See the source image

The King of Rock and Roll teamed up with TV’s reigning variety
program, as
Elvis Presley appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show”
for the first time on September 9, 1956.

After earning big ratings for “The Steve Allen Show,” the
Dorsey Brothers “Stage Show” and “The Milton Berle Show,”
Sullivan finally reneged on his Presley ban, signing the
controversial singing star to an unprecedented $50,000 contract
for three appearances.

With 60 million viewers—or 82.6 percent of TV viewers at the time—tuning in, the appearance garnered the show’s best
ratings in two years and became the most-watched TV
broadcast of the 1950s.

‘’BEATLEMANIA’’ ARRIVED ON THIS DAY IN 1964

See the source image

On February 7, 1964, Pan Am Yankee Clipper flight 101 from London Heathrow lands at New York’s Kennedy Airport—and “Beatlemania” arrived. It was the first visit to the United States by the Beatles, a
British rock-and-roll quartet that had just scored its first No. 1 U.S. 
hit six days before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

At Kennedy, the “Fab Four”—dressed in mod suits and sporting their trademark pudding bowl haircuts—were greeted by 3,000 screaming
fans who caused a near riot when the boys stepped off their plane
and onto American soil.


Two days later, Paul McCartney, age 21, Ringo Starr, 23, John
Lennon
, 23, and George Harrison, 20, made their first appearance
on the Ed Sullivan Show.
