Sixty Years, Since The Beatles First Appearance On The Ed Sullivan Show

Sixty years have gone by (not “Let It Be,” but can it be?!!) since the legendary Beatles’ first United States appearance, that on the seminal Ed Sullivan Show, on this February 9th date in 1964.

I am pretty sure I did not see their performance, perhaps older female Leslie was there and ’twas Jack Rosenberg, he who subsequently warned me that Sandy Koufax would retire due to an arthritic elbow, that told me The Beatles would be on the Sullivan Show that February 9th.

The Beatles were incredible, on the Sullivan Show the next two weeks as well, and endure, resonating exponentially, all these years later.
