The Beatles’ US debut on The Ed Sullivan Show

On February 9, 1964, The Beatles made their U.S. debut on the Ed Sullivan TV show – and popular music hasn’t been the same since!

My parents, brother, and I were attending a dance performance – was it the Tamburitzans from Duquesne University? 🤔 Who knows? 🤷 All I was thinking about was getting home in time to see The Beatles. I overheard someone else mention The Beatles as we left the hall. I remember the buzz and excitement in anticipation of the event.

Even today, hearing the opening chords of I Wanna Hold Your Hand fills me with happiness. 🥰

What are your favorite Beatles memories?
