BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In the mid-1960s English beat groups conquered America musically. They were so very successful, British music was becoming an industry. This movement was called the British Invasion. One group stood out, though, The Beatles. About 75 million people - the general population was around 192 million! - watched the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show on 7 Feb. 1964. This did start a craziness for The Beatles, called Beatlemania. During the 1960s pop music - led by The Beatles - shaped a generation, influenced politics and culture, eventually changing more in society than probably any artist or band
