Beatlemania Takes Over the United States

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, collectively known as The Beatles, took the world by storm in the ’60s. After gaining success in the United Kingdom, they went on to captivate the American market, which gave birth to the fanaticism phenomenon called Beatlemania.

Only months after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, The Beatles gained traction in the United States after appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show. Over 70 million tuned in to their guests, and that would later lead The Beatles to grace the show again. In 2021, a documentary will show never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage of the group.
