The Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show 50 years ago. That day resonated for people in the studio and on television.
More than 70 million viewers tuned into that night. Through the eyes of fans who witnessed the performance on The Ed Sullivan Show , the moment was inspiring. Leslie Moonves, CBS executive, recalled the first time that he heard the word, “Beatles.” He remembers that he thought the band was very cool, according to the Associated Press.
The current members of the Beatles take part in the tribute performance that will air on CBS this month.
According to Reuters, Beatle Ringo Starr told the crowd, "We were in a band called The Beatles and whenever we play George and John are always with us."
According to the Associated Press, the Vince Calandra, program coordinator on the set of The Ed Sullivan Show said, "They were all very professional, very respectful. They weren't like other groups that came in, whose attitude was, `OK, let's do the "Sullivan Show" and sell a bunch of records."
