It was on this date (2/9/64) that the Beatles were introduced to America

Ed Sullivan had the honors on his really really big shew.
They performed "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and "She Loves You" to my sister and an estimated 70 million other swooning teens

This is from that initial assault in the British Invasion.
