I remember it like it was yesterday, and I’ll bet you do to! I sat down right in front of our tv set, and was as excited as everyone in the audience. I’ll never forget the expression on their faces, too, as they all seemed amazed, if not blown away, by the audience’s reception. They sometimes would just gaze out into the audience in complete wonder. What an exciting time to be a kid!

 

If you like, please share your memories, favorite songs, whatever you like to remember about the Fab 4.

      February 9th is a special day. It is the date my

      parents married and yes are celebrating their

      73rd anniversary today. I had already heard

      "I want to hold your hand" and was hungry

      for more from the Mop Tops. My parents,

      brother and I watched the Ed Sullivan show

      religiously and this night was no exception.

      I was just 8 years old in 1964. I can remember

      this show vividly and the incredible set 

      they played that night. I was absolutely smitten

      with those adorable group of guys and couldn't 

      stop dancing and singing along. It was the night

      I fell madly in love with Paul, a love that still exists

      if he is looking for his next wife. Lol. My love for

      the Fab 4 has lasted almost 60 years and is a love 

      shared with my brother. We have at many times

      bonded over our love of their music. It has got me

      thru good times and bad, and that will never change!
