The day was Feb. 9, 1964 and the audience was 73 million Americans, all huddled around their televisions to watch the now legendary performance by The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. With every song sung - "All My Loving," "She Loves You," "I Saw Her Standing There," "I Want to Hold Your Hand" - America fell more and more in love.
Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, CBS will air a Grammy Salute to the Beatles, commemorating their unforgettable appearance on that unforgettable show. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will be joined by many stars of today, including acts ranging from Imagine Dragons to Katy Perry. Tune in to see a show that will hopefully capture just how much this performance by arguably the world's most famous band changed America.
