ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE BRITISH INVASION PT.2

[Mike Pell]

As noted before, on Feb. 7th 1964, the Beatles landed at Kennedy Airport met by reporters and mostly screaming girls, and Beatlemania and The British Invasion was born.
Those two terms may seem interchangeable now, but I'll point out the difference.
And the Beatles arrived for their appearance 2 days later, Feb. 9th 1964, on the Ed Sullivan Show- watched by a then record 73 Million viewers!
Remember, this country was still reeling from the Kennedy Assassination only two and a half months prior, so these charming Lads From Liverpool were a very welcome diversion.
For them, and for us, it was perfect timing.
And it seemed back then that if you were British, you had an advantage over our homegrown Artists in Rock & Roll and on the Radio.
But that takes nothing away from the Quality of their Music.
I will be proving that here, and continuing next week.
Let's get Invaded- this kind not only is painless, but it makes you feel good!
Enjoy!
