In December 1963, American radio stations began playing a song by a musical foursome who were already wildly popular in Britain, "I Want to Hold Your Hand," beginning the Beatles' unparalleled rise to the top of the U.S. music scene.
By the time they landed in New York two months later, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr were universally known in the states. And two days after their arrival, when they performed on "The Ed Sullivan Show," they attracted the largest audience that had ever been recorded for an American television program.
It's hard to believe that it has been more than 45 years since the Fab Four disbanded, a span chronicled in the entertaining documentary "The Beatles: Parting Ways," which airs on Newsmax TV on Saturday, May 19, at 6 p.m./ET.
