This Day in Rock History - Feb. 9th
1964: On this night at 8 PM (Eastern), every Baby Boomer worthy of the name remembers where they were and what they were doing. We were tuned in to CBS to watch the Beatles make their American television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. Performing 3 songs at the start of the show and 3 songs at the end, the Fab Four help Sullivan pull in 73 million viewers, a record at the time and still one of the highest rated shows of all time.
New York police report that not a single hubcap was stolen during the hour (also apparently a record).
Unnoticed at the time, a young Davy Jones (later to become part of the Monkees) appears on the same show as part of the Broadway cast of Oliver! where he leads the cast in singing “I’d Do Anything.”
