On February 9, 1964, the Beatles burst onto the American music scene with their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. What followed was not only the huge success of the Fab Four in the US, but an invasion of many, many other groups and individual artists who dominated the American pop music scene for more than a decade.
Incredibly, many are still active! Some of these performers include The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Dave Clarke Five, Herman’s Hermits, Rod Stewart, Al Stewart, The Kinks, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield, Donovan, The Moody Blues, Peter and Gordon, Petula Clark, and Tom Jones – just to name a few.
This course will highlight the music of these, and many other artists and their memorable music, presented in videos over the course of 5 weeks.
