I remember watching that Ed Sullivan Show. I was a Senior in High School.

I generally did not watch The Show of Shows, but this was different. I sat on the floor (for a closer view) in front of a B&W Sylvania TV with the white hallow light surrounding it.

I remember my Mother being astounded by it all. It was definitely something to be excited about,, we were all sort of stunned by the Kennedy assassination the previous November.

Thanks for posting this. I have a roadtrip today and I will listen to the new Beatles CD as I travel.

It was right before my 6th birthday, but I do remember it. My sisters were 12 and 13, and they went berserk for The Beatles that January. We huddled on the floor to watch Ed Sullivan that night, while my father was shocked to see that these four "mop tops" were going to be the Frank Sinatra of his daughters' generation.

And I remember how much my British mother loved them.
