Harry Benson, "The Beatles Arrive"
1964
Meet the Beatles! You know who they are. No musical act out of Liverpool has ever been as influential as them! Screaming girls ran everywhere, whenever the Beatles made the scene. Individually, it had been a long and winding road, but together, it was strawberry fields forever. They rose to the top of the charts. Their success can be attributed to the fact that they were able to deliver hit after hit in the U.S. Listen, do you want to know a secret? Right here is the first recorded image of them as they entered America for a magical mystery tour. Here comes the sun, it’s alright. In just a few days, they would be on the Ed Sullivan show and it wasn’t just a hard day’s night. They had a ticket to ride. Better run for your life if you can little girls, because they’re on your radio eight days a week. They probably wouldn’t be as well known to you Americans if not for this, but they are spread across the universe now. Although two of them are now in the sky with diamonds, they will always be remembered in our hearts. You’ll still need them when your 64. Thank you, this has been a day in the life.
