Before the Beatles went on Ed Sullivan and my sister brought home the Meet the Beatles LP, I only listened to classical music and mostly hated everything else. The Beatles, though, totally turned my head around. What's better, as I spent all day listening to KFWB waiting for another Beatles or British Invasion song to be played, I learned to love all the other artists the deejays put on. I learned to love Motown and guys like Elvis and Chuck Berry.
It was 61 years ago today...
You are part of a select group of music fans to perhaps see on television, read the newspaper or maybe even be there to experience arguably a HUGE moment in music history.
I was only 2, so all I cared about was eating and sleeping. Maybe I was in the room while my family watched the Ed Sullivan show, later that week?
