In February 1964, the Beatles took America by storm, and rock ‘n’ roll was never the same. AP reporters covering the band’s Feb. 7 arrival at New York’s Kennedy Airport and their appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” two days later never failed to mention John, Paul, George and Ringo’s long hair, or the screaming teenage girls who followed them wherever they went.

In covering the airport arrival, AP reporter Arthur Everett goes to great lengths to use contemporary slang like “way out” and “fab.” And he quotes female fans as shouting “We want beatniks!” Might it have been “We want Beatles!”? The story on the Sullivan show appearance focuses on the scene, making scant mention of the band’s music. In a separate review, AP television-radio writer Cynthia Lowry allows that the boys “sing close harmony.” But she is put off by their hairdos, and declares that the appeal of the Liverpudlians remains a mystery to an “elderly viewer.” (Lowry was in her early 50s at the time.)

The Beatles collectively are sort of a sheep dog version of Elvis Presley — the adulation they arouse in reminiscent of the grip the American star once held on the juvenile population. However, when a newsman described them to their faces — or the visible portions thereof — as “four Elvis Presleys,” they replied in unison: “Not True.”

Behind them, with their departure from London, the Beatles left a pack of British teen-age girls, awash in tears, keening forlornly and twisting sodden hankies in anguished farewell. But accustomed as they are to the weird worship rites attending their every appearance, the Beatles were shocked into momentary immobility as they left their plane to face the American horde. They recovered enough to wave, mug and dance a small jig for their panting audience.
