It's February 1964 - The Beatles Arrive in America!

February 7, 1964 - the day that The Beatles first came to America, landing at JFK to find over 4000 fans, journalists and photographers waiting to greet them. George was the only Beatle who had even been to America before, so they were all quite surprised by the reception. 50 years ago today - on February 9, 1964, they made their first US television appearance on the Ed Sullivan show to 73 million viewers (approximately 2/5 of the total American population!) The world was forever changed.
