making their first live television appearance
on the Ed Sullivan show at studio 50 in New
York on February 9, 1964,

Approximately 73 million viewers tuned in
breaking television viewing records and making
music history not to mention fashion history.
Beatlemania began when the first chord to “All
My Lovin” was played, followed by “Till There
Was You” and “She Loves You”.

“A lot of people’s fathers had wanted to turn us off.
They told their kids, ‘Don’t be fooled, they’re wearing
wigs. But a lot of mothers and children made them
keep it on.”. – Paul McCartney

The celebration in Hollywood took place
at Capitol Records. Special guest was
Ed Sullivan impersonator Michael Sherman.

 Special guest at the ceremony was Tim
Piper, world famous John Lennon impersonator
who performed his song “The Shot Heard Round
The World”. Tim performed with his brother Greg

An evening with Paul Williams – Phantom of the Paradise tribute concert

Paul Williams

An Evening with Paul Williams and a Phantom of
the Paradise tribute concert. It doesn’t get better
than this.

My amazing Son, Randall, surprised me with a ticket
to go to this event held at the Silent Movie Theatre in
Hollywood. It was a thrill to be able to chat a bit with
Paul Williams afterward and have him sign my dvd. This
still feels like a dream.

I have loved this movie since it’s release in 1974, seeing
it multiple times at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.

A night that I will never forget.
