This was 58 years ago TODAY! Their first performance on American television (they did several songs.) 73.7 MILLION viewers (almost 65% of the population then) and is still the 2nd most-watched program of all time. I wish I was alive to see it!
I loved every minute of it. I knew they were going to be on the Ed Sullivan show. My sister and I tried to play it cool that we're not like those crazy🤪 fans. We sat in front of the TV ho-hum about the whole thing. But immediately from Paul's count of one, Two, THREE, FOUR we went total Beatlemania🤪!!! Our grumpy, strict old Dad came into the room to see what the hoopla was about. Uh-oh, we thought he was going to turn it off and we were gonna have to tackle him because this was serious. But surprisingly he sat down without a word and watched with us. My sister and I looked at each other like👀 Sometime later he admitted he liked them. My Dad was a classical violinist and grumbled that everything else was just noise. So it was total and complete confirmation that if our Dad liked the Beatles they had to be the greatest band ever
@@Xcris_crosX Awe, I love that! Great story! I had Beatle-loving parents, so I grew up listening to them and hearing the stories about my family watching them on Ed Sullivan. I love and study The Beatles but I am definitely jealous of everyone who was alive when they were together.
@@reinacarbetta388 You study The Beatles? They changed the world. The international Youth Movement didn't have social media to unite us, we had the Beatles. They, especially Lennon, empowered the American Youth Movement to help stop the Vietnam war that was killing thousands. Turn on Captions for *"GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - Plastic Ono Band (official music video HD)"* and *"POWER TO THE PEOPLE. (Ultimate Mix, 2020) - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band (official music video HD)".*
They emboldened youth to destroy the Berlin Wall and the Soviet youth to retaliate against the USSR. It's been said the Beatles were the first rip in tearing down the Iron Curtain. They did what the threat of U.S. missiles could not. There was a time when Soviet youth claimed nobody loved the Beatles more than they did. Because they had to buy Beatles records through the Black Market and try to avoid getting caught by the KGB. Check out YT video all in part called: *"How The Beatles Rocked The Kremlin Part 1/4"*
My mom always talked about The Beatles and Elvis and seeing them on TV for the first time. She was such a huge fan of both. We grew up listening to all of that good music.
Not actually from their first performance on American television, the 9 February 1964 Ed Sullivan appearance, it's from their third appearance, broadcast on 23 February (which was filmed on the 9 February before they appeared live on the show that evening).
John the singer was in his early 20s too. Now play Don’t Let Me Down from the 1969 rooftop concert and see their transformation from teen idols to cultural icons.
1970??????
@@billythedog-309 no they played that concert on January 30th 1969
Yes!
Yes Beatles a awesome group,1969 I was 3😁 I remember Paul McCartney in 1971 singing hey Jude,
Cool observation about these old videos. My sister was six and I was five years old when Mom was yelling at us for sitting too close to the TV watching the Beatles for the first time. You can’t imagine how it felt watching them play. Geez, it makes me realize how old I am. The more you listen to how their music progressed through the next years, the more you’ll see that they were something special. They were more to music than just a rock band.
I too was five years old when I first saw the Beatles. I was the son of a career soldier, and we were living in Japan back then. We were lucky enough to get American tv limited of course, but we got the Ed Sullivan show, anyway, The Beatles were super popular in Japan, and Russia and the world basically. Pick a song, you'll love it. Deepest rabbit hole out there. Imo. Peace
I’m 71 now and I can’t believe how many years have passed and they still sound great!
After this legendary performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, there wasn't a dry seat left in the House!😀
You’re learning history through music so that’s great! Girls used to pass out getting all worked up over watching the Beatles! Those fans were seriously invested, ha!
The Beatles video of "Come Together" is a must see, it's so trippy.
And The Beatles' "Daytripper" Live, is another one of my favorites. Check that one out too, you two. 😁😁👍👍
They get better and better as ya go through the album's their success will never be repeated again. A day in the life, Norwegian wood strawberry Fields, there's tons....
It's wild they started as really good typical music at the time and went in a wild direction. I feel like out of all the legends they changed the most through their career, but in a good way. Listening to their older material and then their later material sounds like another band.
True that! They were always the best band out there (loved all their early stuff as well) but they Never stopped evolving. To think they created all that great music from '62 to '70 boggles my mind!
TY so much for playing 'Twist & Shout.' I watched this Live on our b & w TV in our living room @ home on a Sunday night. My memories flooded back with tears in my eyes. Beatles Best Band ever 🫶
Our man is correct. Despite this being super early, and having a very traditional early Rock and Roll vibe to it, the TONE of those guitars is really something. That Beatles sound that you hear later in their careers, was already present in this.
There's fashion, style and technology that played a roll too. Sustain, distortion, new guitars and pick ups, new guitar effects changed rock n roll. This open, natural twangy sound became somewhat a thing of the past. Not to say it doesn't sound great, I wish more would go back to the roots.
You know, this was just a few months after Kennedy was assassinated. The Beatles did a lot to bring some happiness to America.
They help create the early stages of Rock Music! They turn the pop and rocking roll scene up side down and nobody like them and never will be!! There the greatest of all time!!
My mom was a huge Paul McCartney fan and when The Ed Sullivan Show did two nights of the Beatles “welcome to America” my mom made sure we had our TV dinners and got to eat in the living room. 📺 I was 6 yrs old and never forgot that great memory. I lost my mom in 2018 to Alzheimer’s 🥺 💟
A day in the life, something, revolution, come together, sttawberry feilds forever, my life, lucy in the sky with diamonds, with a little help from my friends, 8 days a week. Helter Skelter
Strawberry Fields Forever most definitely a must see. One of my favorite Beatles songs.
You forgot "Birthday"...
Help..If I fell in love with you..Yesterday..Revolution..Strawberry Fields Forever..all great songs! Come together was awesome too..Love your reactions!
The Beatles have a very large playlist! Just pick most any song!
That's the thing. You can hardly go wrong. Even their quirky songs are interesting and fun to listen to. And the ones they thought of 'throwaways' are full of pop magic.
The crazy thing here is that when the Beatles played live they couldn’t even hear their own instruments because of all the screaming girls. So to perform live they had to completely rely on timing.
To answer your question there were color TVs available but they were expensive. The last 4 seasons of "The Adventures of Superman" (1953 - 1957) were filmed in color but only broadcast in B&W. Then in 1965 they were first broadcast in color. FYI: All of the Beatle appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show were in B&W.
I was 9 when I saw this on TV. There was color TV but hardly anyone had one. Even if they did most recordings and TV shows were filmed in black and white. There was only 3 major stations, ABC,CBS and NBC. You might be able to get PBS on UHF and I don't believe remote control had been invented yet. If do, no one I knew had it. You had to get up and change the channel knob on the TV. I was elated when we got an RCA big picture (19inch) color console TV in 1967 that my dad paid $600.00 for which was a lot of money! This was the early Beatles and this song was a cover which the early Beatles did several of. Up until the Beatles, most bands were reserved and fans that saw their shows were very reserved as well. When they appeared with their long hair, the boys insisted on letting their hair grow long and would get Beatles haircuts because that's what girls liked. Their sound was explosive for the times and the fans became less reserved. The Beatles completely changed music and culture worldwide. Check out their Shea Stadium concert from 1965. Over 50,000 fans, the most ever for a concert, and the music was piped in over the stadium speakers and yet the band couldn't even hear themselves over the screaming in the stands. From 1964 to 1970 The Beatles recorded over 230 songs 20 #1 hits, 35 top ten hits and consistently had songs in the top 100. They are the GOATS bar none. They have consistently been one of the best sellers every single year since their break up in 1970 including last year. Each member has also had many solo hit songs after the break up. "A Day In The Life" was a breakthrough song for the music industry with all of it's innovations. The Beatles also made movies like HELP, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT and MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR all named after their albums titles. They also may have made the first music videos and even had their own cartoon TV show. You might need to just play the studio audio only versions of their music to avoid copyright issues.
Is your name really Frank Phillips? The only reason I ask is because that's my name! What are the odds of that.
@@somethingyousaid5059 yep. I'm in Florida. Nice to meetcha
@@frankphillips5660
How about if I trade you my cold West Virginia for your warmer Florida, eh? Yeah, nice to meet you too. I wonder exactly how many other Frank Phillipsus (spelling?) there are in the world. Too many to suit either of us no doubt. The only other Frank Phillips I ever heard of worked as a director of photography or something like that in some movies. I remember seeing the name appear in the opening credits for a couple of Walt Disney movies that were made back in the 1970s.
Anyway, thanks for confirming for me that that's your real name.
@@somethingyousaid5059 I was born in West Virginia. Bluefield. Most of my relatives live in Southwestern VA, near Bluefield. Small world. I had another commenter tell me that he lives in Texas and there is a Frank Phillips University there.
@@frankphillips5660
A small world indeed! As for me, I was born (and raised) in Williamson (which probably isn't really that far from Bluefield I'm guessing). Ought to start a club of Frank Phillipses. Lol!
Color TV started to become commonplace a couple years later around 1966-1970. Most people were still new to having a television for more than a couple years in 1964.
Color TV was around in '64, but it cost over $400, which was a LOT of money in those days. Everywhere that The Beatles performed live was a madhouse of screaming teenage girls, sometimes they couldn't even hear their own music. But there was one song, that Paul McCartney sang solo on The Ed Sullivan Show which silenced the entire crow. That song was "Yesterday" give it a look and a listen.
The smile on your face is heartwarming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This from the Brittanica Online: Although colour TV was introduced to consumers in 1954, less than 1 percent of homes had a colour set by the end of that year. Ten years later, in fact, nearly 98 percent of American homes still did not have one. It was not until 1964 that NBC was finally broadcasting over half its programs in colour; CBS reached that threshold the following year.
You should really listen to 'A Day In The Life' by the Beatles
My absolute favorite!
What's amazing is how _in tune_ they sang, and how their harmonies _blended._ Understand: Since around 5 years after this (say, Woodstock in 1969), live bands have had monitor speakers pointed at them, so they can hear themselves, and tune their vocals. (More recently that's changed to in-ear monitor headphones.) In '64, The Beatles were already an experienced road act; and knew how to sing in tune without _any_ monitoring aids. It helps that the volumes they played at were much lower in those days; but still, their performance abilities were off the hook.
They were a Phenomenon! No one comes even close to what they did. It’s almost unreal to be honest. Their legacy! They changed the World!
I watched live. I was 10 years old. It was on a Sunday night. The next day at school every guy had their hair like the Beatles. You cannot imagine the cultural impact they had. Nothing since has come close!
Beatlemania , they took the world by storm
A day in the Life!
Also, remember that most Beatles tracks were recorded on only 4 tracks in the beginning of their careers, later on 8 tracks.
I was six years old and it’s like yesterday. I’m smiling with you!
I would recommend you these songs from these Beatles albums:
1963 Please Please me - Please, please me; Love me do; A taste of honey.

Also...I want to hold your hand...1964
hes a real no where man sitting in his no where land
Fun fact, contrary to what people think, those girls screaming, is what lead to loud amplifiers. The original push for volume was due to crowd noise. But then of course, it lead to discovering all the magical things that happen when you turn the right amp up full blast, which lead to everything great in the 60s and 70s music scenes.
Everyone that had a TV back then was watching....Parents hated it, but the Counterculture had started....Music, and Beatles when then washed up on the shores of the USA from London, my generation changed forever. Rolling Stones, Rock and Roll, was here....countercultural, Hippies....Now we still smoke our Cannabis, but it's for arthritis, and back pain, damn we had a good time...
They look so young, yet I remember watching that night like yesterday. I had cool parents, grew up with All kinds of music....Thankful
They did have color TV's in 1964, but most broadcasts were still in black and white.
i was seated 3 feet from the tv screen on feb 9, 1964 to watch america's introduction to the beatles. a REAL boy band that played their own instruments.
Mr Postman is a must by them it's a cover of The Marvelettes from Motown , and what a cover . They wrote 200 songs in 7 yrs plus what they wrote after split . Also do a reaction to A Brief History Of The Beatles , you'll love it
That is a definite watch, if you want to know why the Beatles are considered universally by everyone both young and old even up to today, the greatest music group to ever exist. In effect they are the band responsible for influencing the creation of the modern global popular ("pop") music industry that we have today. Facts don't lie, watch it and it will all become clear.
They had color TVs in the late 50s on but few shows were broadcast in color.
With the Beatles, they were so popular it made zero difference.
Thanks for the great review!
I'm 68, so you're talking my music now! I saw this live when I was 10!
This song has been covered so many times!!! Parade scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off...lip synced perfect in high stereo.
A Lot of the Early Live Proformances They ( The Beatles) had to SHOUT the Song Lyrics so that they Could be Heard over the Girls SCREAMING!! And if you Notice on this, every time The Beatles Would Shake They're Mop Tops For Going OOOO , The Girls would SCREAM Louder!
I saw the show where they did this song. This song is one of the best sounding tunes played live. I watched this performance live on TV.
the year i was born! April 17th the number one hit was by the Beatles " can't buy me love"
We had color TV's in 1964! My parents had a Curtis Mathes oval screen console! Watched the NBC Peacock on that screen on many occasions. I was 16 at the time! Then I listened to I am The Walrus in Nam, during th e Summer of Love, 67
I was 13 in 1964 and so excited to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. My mom was ok with their songs and my dad not ok. But, he ended up liking them later with songs like In My Life and Elinor Rigby. Thanks dad for listening to the music.
The Beatles were the first band to ever play for this many people and sound systems and amplifiers didn't exist to handle this large of a crowd. They had special equipment custom made for these shows and they were still way underpowered. The band could barely hear what they were playing and the crowds were so loud they probably didn't hear much music. Still, it's great!
Still sounds Great after all these years!!!
The screaming girls were a major feature of every live Beatles performance (unfortunately). It came with the territory but it was a very exciting time. I was 9 the first time they toured the US. I’ve been a dedicated fan ever since. That’s John Lennon singing lead. He was murdered in 1980. I can’t believe he’s been gone for 42 years. Worst day of my life. Best band on the planet. Hands down. 🌺✌️
Love that you both smiled at the aaahs
I'm glad that you appreciate what great access you have to classic music! When I started driving literally the only access we had to music in the car was the radio. We were so excited when 8 track and then cassette tape came out! You guys are so lucky to have RUclips!
Today February 9th is the 58th anniversary of them playing on the Ed Show. It was the 1st time America got to see the Beatles. I remember this night. Me and my brother watched it and were amazed. We grab old badminton rackets and imitated them. Please react to The Beatles Live on the rooftop playing Dont Let me down.
Just loooking at these boys and remembering they were only in their early 20's, and already veterans of performing live. I think they had been working their way up through pubs, clubs etc for about 5-6 years by this time and had just finished a long standing contract in Hamburg, Germany. I wonder whether modern artists get the same grounding in live performance as the older artists did.
It may be hard to believe but in 1964 most of the show's American audience had never seen men with "long" hair like the Beatles had. By today's standards their hair isn't unusual but in 1964 it was very unusual. When you think about it most of the American audience may never have heard someone from England speak before, short of a few radio interviews. A record 40% of all Americans watched that show.
Key to QUALITY was if it was recorded on FILM not old videotape. American TV switched to recording in color in 1965, so the next year the Ed Sullivan show went color. Just few of us had color TV then.
My Mama said I watched this when I was a year old. She said I stood an inch from the TV completely hypnotized. I got my first Beatles album when I was 3 from my beloved Grandma. I just know I've always loved them
While My aguitar Gently Weeps is awesome it's a must hear.
Love your slow creeping smiles 🙂
Wow...such a gentler time...that this very naive music would drive us crazy(well okay, it was the boys...). They just got better and better...I loved John then and love him still....ahhhh those were the days of my youth....I was 10 years old at this event and I remember being glued to a snowy black and white TV in England trying to see them. Take a look at "Back in the USSR" or Helter Skelter for their real rock side.
The greatest band ever, never to be equalled.
If you wanna see more a recent song with Paul McCartney react to 4 5 Seconds ... Rihanna and Kanye West f/ Paul McCartney.... Pauls song and video called Who Cares ..3yrs ago is awesome..!. And even more recent Paul McCartney and Beck .. Find My Way video... Paul's still coool to this day... Lol
Check out the album version which is one of the most dynamic vocal performances ever. Recorded in one take at the end of a 9 and a half hour day where they'd recorded 9 other songs. John tore his throat apart doing it.
If you want to take a further trip back to 1964 and experience another screaming female audience then try viewing PJ Proby singing Somewhere in front of a live audience. I think you”ll like it.
You have to do Help!!! It’s John Lennons favorite Beatles song he was the main writer on
Check out Lennon, Clapton, Richards & Baker( ?) doing a version of Yer Blues on the Stones Rock n Roll Circus 🎪.
My favorite Beatles song is “Come Together”. Saw a recent interview with Ringo Starr. It is his favorite song too.
Ah. This was the beginning of the music explosion. We were so excited about these guys and a new kind of music. This recording shows more how they were a phenomenon than their musical talent.
A Day in the Life is crazy good!
Help Hard Days Night Eleanor Rigby Norwegian Wood Revolution Helter Skelter Strawberry Field Penny Lane Tax Man and that's just a few
A Philadelphia R&B group called The Top Notes originally recorded this in 1961. It was a hit for The Isley Brothers in 1962, which is the version The Beatles emulated. Can you please react to Suicide Blonde by Inxs . Keep up the great work I love your reactions .🙂
Please react to Strawberry Fields Forever from The Beatles!!
I was there and you have no idea how Beatlemania was
I was 3 years old.
At the time this was the most watched television event in the history of TV. An estimated 73 million people tuned in to watch this broadcast. They went on to become the most influential band ever.
this song was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Nah.... THIS is what's crazy... That Ed Sullivan show you are watching is one of my earliest memories. I remember watching it live with my brothers and sisters in the family room. In Feb 1964 I was 5.
What's crazy is me sharing that moment with you kids in 2022. That little girl with braces and glasses is someone's grandma.
Cheers!
You should be fine doing Dont Let me Down from the rooftop gig , widely reacted to on youtube and a good quality video .
You should check out when Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965. Instead of a seven hundred screaming fans there was around 55,000.
In 1962 I heard a relation of my brother-in-law talk about this group that he had just seen in Hamburg ,Germany called `the Silver Beatles` ( he had been stationed there whilst in the RAF). " Watch out for them, they re going to be really big" . I`m ashamed to say that I scoffed ,saying whoever heard of a group with such a stupid name .He was right and I was totally wrong and admitted it when in1963 they started releasing their music and I was hooked !
Man John has a top 10 voice of all time. Paul too. Much different. But man John could let it rip!
There were color tv's in the late 50's but they were very expensive and could cost as much as a new car. At that time, if you owned two color tv's, you were considered to be rich!
I was only 4 when this was recorded but I was the youngest of my family and some of my siblings were teenagers so I was raised on this stuff. At that time, families only had one TV in the living room, and, yes, it was black and white. My family didn't get a color TV until 1976 when my Dad won a color set in a raffle. We still only had one set in the house though so age outranked youth so I only got to watch what I wanted when nobody else was watching TV. But we only had like 5 channels to watch anyway which is why us "boomers" have so much common history and know the same shows and the same music. It still binds us together to a certain extent. You can mention a certain episode of "Gilligan's Island" for example and we are all familiar with it.
There was Probably things in colour back in 64 but it was expensive to use back then. The Beatles... from my home town, the drummer Ringo Starr is old house is 600 meters from my house now.
Great reaction!!!! Please react to "Rock n Roll Music" John has SOOO much energy in it.
After the long and glorious history of the Beatles you may also want to see what they did after the band broke up.. John Lennon -Imagine, George Harrison- My Sweet Lord, or Paul McCartney- Maybe I Amazed.. you will have tons of material to look at
Why cross out?
I was in the 4th grade when this happened. The reverberation at school the next day was palpable. It's all we could talk about...We drove the Nuns crazy...
Great observation as far as how long ago this was, and to be able to watch it on video is simply amazing. I guess you all feel the same as I do when I watch videos on RUclips from the 1900's. It blows my mind when I watch them, and to think all the people in those 1900 video are dead...even the kids. Check them out and it is very interesting. But thanks for watching The Beatles. I could tell you were both enjoying the performance.
I had just turned 14 when the Beatles hit our shore! From that moment when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, we never relaxed...until they broke up & broke our hearts in 1970! They brought us thru our youth & into our adolescence & beyond. I was 20 when the breakup happened & it hit me hard. But, I was thankful bc they brought along so many other artists from England and it was astounding how our own musicians responded, including the veteran Beach Boys! It was an amazing time! I still remember how we'd wait for the next release of a single or an album! Their singles were never on an album! Every single seemed to have two "A" sides, every album not a bad song on them! It was strangely weird! That's why the Beatles will live on FOREVER!
This changed the world of popular music. Follow them through the years These initial performances on the Sullivan Show is the marker on the Timeline: Pre Beatles | After Beatles
Although invented in the early 50s, color TVs did not become affordable to the general public until the mid 60s. I remember watching Bonanza as the first program in color for me.
Me too. Also one thing about those early sets, you could not move them around, run or turn off and on a vacuum cleaner close them as you would knock off the color scheme and you would get a rainbow affect.
It was on this date that they 1st appeared on ed sullivan. Ed sullivan show was big back then. You got to see groups live new comedians entertainers
Beatles - A Day in the Life
Watching the progression of this channel is hilarious- the first several videos the lady is totally into it, then at some point you get the impression she’s thinking “what? You want to pump out one of these damn videos a few times a week!! Oh man…c’mon!”
Word of caution: The Beatles' music has tight copyright control on RUclips, so it might be tricky to react extensively.
The Beatles were a rare phenomenon where one artist or band captured the world's attention w/ their music... there hasn't really been that superstar(s) today (Eminem, Taylor Swift... maybe) because music has gotten so diverse and on so many platforms... but I haven't seen the likes of Elvis, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Guns N' Roses, etc. for decades now... Strangely, The Beatles' myth has grown so large, that they have sold more records after they broke up in 1970.
Haven't you seen Guns n' Roses these days? if his World Tour became the highest grossing of all time in the last 4 years!, 2 of his videos have passed the 1 billion views mark on youtube and they are the only artist of the last century who have achieved that not even the beatles!!!
@@EduardoLopez-cb7ye GNR did well on tour cos it's 3/5 of the original band - Axl, Slash & Duff; the band not seen since 1993. I saw GNR in 2006 (Axl only) and the venue was not sold out.
I'm not knocking GNR. I'm just saying that we haven't had a new band that has captured the world's attention like the original GNR did in 1987/ '88.
@@sumonjamal1653 "we haven't had a new band that has captured the world's attention" which in a way is kind of a good thing. The world has changed a lot since then and there are so many more people on this planet. There are so many more ways to consume music. I look at the highest-selling songs of all time and most of them came out within the past 5 years, The best selling song of al time was released in 2020 by a Chinese artist I've never even heard of. Contempary superstars like Adele, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran probably have larger fanbases than The Beatles ever did, but the world is so large now you could live your life barely knowing who these people are. Whereas back in the day you only had a TV with a few channels and a radio, and you could really only listen to whatever they wanted you to listen to. It's all about perception.
@@Washanuga China has a population of 1.4 BILLION people, which does not include , Taiwan, or Chinese people around the world. So yes, a Chinese artist will likely get high sales... just like India has 1.3 BILLION people, not counting Indians around the world, so a Hindi artist will rack up digital sales/download numbers.
As far as fan bases, u do not count the fact that The Beatles have fans from the 60's until today, a number of people still alive from back then, and current fans getting into their music... Rihanna, Adele and Ed Sheeran have not been around for 20 years even... Rihanna's biggest album 'Good girl gone bad' has sold 6 million copies in the US... The Beatles' biggest albums are 'Abbey Road' (12 million) and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (11 million) ... do the math.
Compare Ed Sheeran's albums to Led Zeppelin's album sales... Ed Sheeran 2 biggest albums sold 5 million each in the US... Led Zeppelin's albums - 'IV' ( 24 million)... 'II" (12 million)... 'Houses of the Holy' (11 million) in the US.
And the Beatles and Zeppelin have been broken up for decades... but still selling in millions.
If you look at concert tours, the biggest are mostly classic artists... very few current artists draw crowds in concert.
Example:
2016 biggest tours - Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Coldplay, Guns N' Roses, Adele, Justin Bieber, Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Rolling Stones & Celine Dion (The last 4 on the list played HALF the number of shows of Beyonce, Bieber & Adele... still made bank$$)
Like I said... there aren't any current artists that can match past legendary artists.
who has control of their catalog now??? b4 he died michael Jackson had purchased their songs i believe, but idk who owns it now...🤔🤔🤔 maybe Shaquille O'Neil...??
Called Beatlemania guys. Nothing but screaming...lol
You should listen to the Chaka demus & pliers version it’s good too
God the woman is hopeless! No reaction,nothing to say just a waste of time.
Agreed
There was 73,000,000 viewers this night it changed the music landscape this was Feb and in April the Beatles had the top 5 hits on the charts at the same time and had 24 charted hits that year as well
Not a dry seat in the house!!!!
Definitely, back in those days bands sounded like their records..... amazing!!!😍😍
Although the Beatles wrote 99% of their music this was a cover of the Isley Brothers who were awesome and worth a listen to.
That's a common misconception, the Isley Brothers were also covering the song. The Top Notes were the first to record it, although it had originally been written by some Jewish guys in Tin Pan Alley.
@@RS-ni3lj wow thank you for that information I never knew that the four tops did it that's very interesting I have to go try and see if I can find it because the four tops of one of my very very favorite groups of all time I love the lead singer's voice he was just amazing too bad he passed away a few years ago.
@@RS-ni3lj I think it was the Top Notes not the Four Tops
@@JOVONO, Mandela effect.
Plus it made a ton of money for the Isleys
