In February 1964, the Beatles—already popular in England—flew into America to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show. Afterwards they played a concert in DC, and two more in New York. “Beatlemania” was launched, and pop music was changed forever. That August they launched a 23-city tour. The Beatles went on to release six number-one singles in the U.S., including the number-one single of the year, I Want to Hold Your Hand. Join us to explore the “Fab Four” during this dynamic year of musical innovation in America. As always, we encourage participant’s input and memories of those times 58 years ago. Harmonizing with the “mop tops” to Please Please Me, She Loves You, and others is practically a prerequisite.
