The Beatles landed in the United States for the first time on this day in history, Feb. 7, 1964. America's love affair with the Fab Four from Britain has never ended.
Pan Am Flight 101, a Boeing 707, touched down with John, Paul, George and Ringo — the Fab Four still known globally by their first names — at the recently renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City at 1:20 p.m. ET. "We thought, ‘Wow! God, we have really made it.'" — Sir Paul McCartney "America was the best. It was a dream, coming from Liverpool." — Ringo Starr "'Abbey Road,' the classic Beatles album released in 1969, was 12th best-selling album in America in 2022, according to Billboard." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
America, reeling in the wake of the assassination of President John Kennedy just 11 weeks earlier, was instantly intoxicated by Beatlemania.
