The Day Rock N' Roll Changed Forever

Most music lovers know that today is a banner day in music history. 48 years ago today, The Beatles flew across the pond and charmed a nation with their first of three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. 73 million TV viewers were watching that night, at that time a record audience and still one of the top 25 most watched single episodes of all time!

Here are 5 things you may not know about that night.........

1) The Fab Four didn't quite realize the gigantic audience Sullivan commanded every Sunday night on CBS, nor did they realize the show business influence he had. When they arrived at the studio and discovered the mob of people waiting, John Lennon became very nervous. So nervous, in fact, that he taped the lyrics of the songs they were to perform to the back of his guitar.

2) The Ed Sullivan Show marked the first actual in-studio American television appearance for The Beatles, but it was not their first time on American television. A month or so earlier, footage of one of their British concerts was shown on The Jack Paar Show.

3) Initially, Sullivan only planned to book them for a single performance at top dollar. The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, had a different idea. Seeking additional exposure, he agreed to less money for three appearances with the guarantee that they would receive top billing, both opening and closing each episode.

4) Over 50,000 ticket requests were received by Sullivan's staff for a studio with a seating capacity of only 700. Many celebrities who requested tickets and were personal friends of Ed Sullivan didn't get them, including legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein!

5) The Beatles weren't the only rock stars performing on the show that night! Though he was still several years away from conquering the pop charts and record store cash registers, another young British singer appeared as part of the cast of the Broadway musical Oliver! He was........future Monkee Davy Jones!

Here is what 73 million people were glued to the evening of Sunday, February 9, 1964......

Golden Hits Radio's Everything Oldies.......Because the Oldies action never stops!

One legendary group reunites to pay tribute to another legend
The leader of the group mentioned above thinks Steve Jobs would have eventually brought music around to its roots
As tributes pour in to the late Don Cornelius, the composer of the Soul Train theme song shares his remembrances
The newest music biopic will focus on a Beach Boys/Fleetwood Mac love affair

Don Cornelius (1936-2012)

Golden Hits Radio pays tribute to the late Don Cornelius, who died yesterday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 75. For many of us in America, Saturday afternoons not only played a big role in shaping our musical tastes but also taught us to dance, and Soul Train, along with American Bandstand, was the reason.

Cornelius was a journalist and part-time disc jockey by trade who had been successful promoting package shows around Chicago featuring soul and R&B artists. Chicago TV station WCIU took notice and gave Cornelius the chance to park the road show on television. Soul Train entered national syndication in 1971 after beginning as a local, Chicago-based program, but initially it only aired in 8 markets. It was an immediate hit, however, and within a few years it had spread to more than 100 stations across the country.

Soul Train became a necessary stop for the R&B A-list, and while most of the dancers and performers were African-American, several A-list white pop and rock artists were booked over the years, including David Bowie and Elton John.

Cornelius left the program as host in 1993 but continued on as Executive Producer until its cancellation in 2006. While he was rarely seen doing anything on camera other than introducing the songs played and the acts performing, in a rare moment in 1974 he took over the "Soul Train Dance Line" with former Supreme Mary Wilson. Here is the moment where Don Cornelius let loose and took the Soul Train dancers to school.........

Up On The Roof

Today in 1969, The Beatles performed in public for the final time on the roof of Apple Studios on Savile Row in London. The idea for the "impromptu" performance had actually come several days earlier, but the roof had to be shored up to carry the weight of the band's equipment. The show became the backbone for the 1970 documentary film Let It Be, a movie which has yet to see a DVD or Blu-ray release due to surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr due to scenes depicting the infighting which ultimately led to the group's demise.

After 42 minutes, London police ordered the Fab Four to end the performance, but fortunately cameras were rolling to document most of the show, which was originally meant to be a TV documentary. Attempts at posting the entire movie on YouTube have been met with removal due to copyright issues by The Beatles' record label, EMI. Some clips have remained however, and here is a snippet.............

Etta James (1938-2012)

Golden Hits Radio would like to pay tribute to one of music's all-time greats, Etta James, upon her passing Friday (Jan. 20, 2012) just five days shy of what would have been her 75th birthday. While she never achieved the pop chart success of her 50's and 60's era peers (her biggest chart hit, 1967's "Tell Mama", peaked at #23), her career would endure long past that of many of the era's biggest hitmakers. Her distinguished resume includes six Grammy Awards (including a 2003 Lifetime Achievement Award), induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003, two songs in the Grammy Hall of Fame, including her signature song, "At Last".

Here is a clip of her final TV appearance on a 2009 episode of Dancing With The Stars.......

In 1986, she appeared in the Chuck Berry documentary Hail! Hail! Rock N' Roll! alongside her former Chess Records labelmate.......

Her life and career were documented in the 2008 feature film Cadillac Records, with Beyonce Knowles portraying her onscreen. Click here to rent from Netflix or to rent or buy from Amazon.

Here is a clip of Beyonce performing Etta's classic "I'd Rather Go Blind"........
