60 YEARS AGO TODAY:
2/16/64 - The Beatles make their second appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show,” this week broadcast live from The Deauville Hotel in Miami, Florida. About 70 million television viewers tune in.
While in
Miami, The Beatles clown around and pose for photographs with soon-to-be
Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World, Cassius Clay, who was down there
training for his upcoming bout with Sonny Liston, scheduled to take place nine
days later. (Clay will change his name to Muhammad Ali after winning the title.)
On this program, they perform “She Loves You,” “This Boy,” “All My Lovin’,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” “From Me To You” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”
