The Beatles arrive at New York's Kennedy Airport Feb. 7, 1964 for their first U.S. appearance. From left are: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. Just after 1 p.m. on Feb. 7, 1964, a Pan Am flight from London landed at New York's Idlewild airport. It was carrying a revolution, in the shape of four shaggy-haired musicians from Liverpool. Over the next two weeks The Beatles stormed America, appearing three times on ``The Ed Sullivan Show'' and playing concerts in front of thousands of fervid fans. By the time they flew home, the Fab Four were the most famous band in the world, and the nature of celebrity had changed forever. (AP Photo)
