Ed Sullivan: The Untold Story
The date was February 9, 1964. Our Sunday night routine always meant gathering in front of the TV after dinner.
The moment Ed Sullivan said, "Ladies and gentlemen... The Beatles!" it felt like all the sound in our living room just stopped. There was only the ringing of that gleaming Gretsch guitar and Paul's smile...
My mom, my dad, us... We were all frozen, eyes glued to that black-and-white screen, just trying to process what was happening. The world was changing, and we were witnessing it right then, in that room, on that Sunday night. The typical Sunday peace was replaced by a sweet kind of shock.
