Ed Sullivan first haunted by Beatlemania on Halloween 1963 at Heathrow Airport

Beatlemania ran wild through Heathrow Airport on Halloween 1963. Legendary American TV host and star-maker Ed Sullivan happened to witness the hysteria the Beatles caused that day.

It was called Beatlemania.  The Beatles in 1963 placed five songs in the U.K.'s Top 20 … but were largely unknown in the U.S. "Ed Sullivan met [Beatles manager] Brian Epstein in New York on Nov. 11 and the deal was done on a handshake." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.

The music world has never been the same.
