The Year Beatlemania began.

And the Year Was: 1964

Hello Beatles!

The beginning of the British Invasion in 1964 started with the Beatles appearance on Ed Sullivan. But what it took to get there is the real story. Starting with a Capitol Records executive who thought they would be a flash in the pan. Then, there’s the teenage girl who first made a request to her local DJ. Beatlemania swept away lots of great Rock ‘n Roll music, so we journey back to 1964 to remember what got left behind and celebrate what was about to happen as the Fab Four swept America and the world.
