Ed Presented The Beatles

February 9, 2023Memories Medley

Chances are if you’re over 65, you watched The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. The program was witnessed by just 728 people in Studio 50, but it was seen by an estimated 73.7 million viewers in 23 million homes in the U.S.

As life changing as it was for so many, including me, there have been other events that occured on a February 9 in music history.

A legendary rock and roll icon died. Two timeless songs were recorded. A country music superstar was born. A man who made a music festival possible died.

Happy memories and sad ones, too. They’re all part of the soundtrack of our lives.

Memories … That’s What We’re All About

    I remember that night in 1964 watching the Ed Sullivan Show. I was 11. I also remember going to a friend’s garage and pretending to be them while we played their 45’s. Great times. The Beetles really had an impact on those times. Just shows you how important music is.

      Thanks, Jim! The moment that program ended, I knew music would play a huge role in my life. I bought a guitar almost immediately, which eventually turned into playing in a band out in Los Angeles when I was 19. And here I am, all these years later, still playing music, albeit in a different way.
      Music is VERY important!

    At my age, any day is a great day to be alive! And the music certainly makes any day better. Thanks for that, Ray. I remember the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, never a screaming teenager, but did love their music. A lot of good memories of Senior year.

      Thanks, Pat 🥰
      At your age? Why, you’re still a young lady in my book! All of us who grew up in the 60s my be getting a (little) older but we’ve still got it. 🙂
      I love that Travis Tritt song. There are so many reasons to be grateful.
      1964 was your year!

        Thanks, Ray. I really am thankful that I am fairly healthy, and sometimes I actually don’t believe I’m that old! And, yes 1964 was a great year.

          Pat, I’m closing in on 73 and to be honest, that doesn’t feel as old as I thought it would when I was in my teens. 🙂
