The Beatles Come to America
February 28, 2025
While "Beatlemania" had taken over the U.K., in the fall of 1963, the Beatles were practically unknown in America. Through the efforts of band manager Brian Epstein, TV host Ed Sullivan, and a teenage fan from Silver Spring, Md., all of that would change by February 1964. By the time the Beatles arrived at JFK Airport, "Beatlemania" was a full-blown phenomenon in America.
