Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | This was a moniker applied by the American media to the huge influx of British pop music, notably Rock and Roll, to American consumers in the 1960s. While it's traditionally considered to have started when British bands started headlining concerts in America, starting with The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964, it actually started the year before. Beatlemania -- not just the music, but the entire phenomenon -- attracted the attention of news agencies and talk show hosts in November 1963. Capitol Records finally realized then that the Beatles were in fact marketable, marketed the band like crazy, and their first American hit single hit the charts around Christmas 1963. |
