Description
History was made on February 9, 1964, when Ed Sullivan introduced the Beatles, a longhaired rock group from Great Britain, to an American audience. When the Beatles sang I Want to Hold Your Hand, a frenzied mob of young girls wept and screamed so loud no one could hear the performance. Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison made three appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show. Two of these appearances earned Sullivan his highest ratings ever. For the next five years the group's popularity only increased. Beatlemania affected American kids just as it had their British counterparts, and millions of young men grew their hair long in adulation. But the Beatles, who were superb composers and musicians, also held a strong attraction for adults. Although their songs were relatively simple, they conveyed a sophistication that set them apart from their contemporaries. One song composed by Paul McCartney started off as Scrambled Eggs, but when McCartney recorded it in 1965 with only a guitar -- the first solo single by a Beatle -- it was called Yesterday and would become one of the most-recorded in music history. In April 1970, one month before the release of the Beatles' Let It Be, McCartney released his first solo album. Later that same year, the Beatles disbanded.
