April 18th, 1964

60 YEARS AGO TODAY:

4/18/64 – Sandy Koufax has another good day on the mound, striking out the side on just nine pitches … for the third time in his career!

(We toldja he'd be back!  And just four days later!)

Also on 4/18, American Bandstand airs a taped telephone interview with The Beatles

That evening, The Beatles appeared on the UK TV comedy program The Morecambe and Wise Show, where they appeared in some rather hilarious comedy sketches with hosts Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise.

Elsewhere in the program, they went with their strong suit, playing their hits "This Boy," "All My Loving" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

It was a big day for The Fab Four because they also held the #1 position on both the UK and US charts with their latest hit single, "Can't Buy Me Love."

You can watch the entire Morecambe and Wise show here ...
