#TBT 55 years ago today @thebeatles arrived in America for the first time. The Fab Four landed in NY in advance of their famous appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show which was watched by a record-setting 73 million people. #CapitolHistory#CapitolVaults#thebeatles
50 years ago today, @TheBeatles climbed to the top of their Apple Corps headquarters and played their first live performance in over two years and what would ultimately be their last together. The 42-minute performance was recorded in the building’s basement by Sir George Martin.
Today is the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ final public performance. After wild discussions, deliberating on where they should play, the band surprised passersby when they appeared on the rooftop of their Savile Row offices and played a 42-minute set. https://t.co/ANCPlC2a79
#OTD 50 years ago, @thebeatles played their legendary final performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps HQ in London. The 42-minute set was recorded onto 8-track in the building’s basement by Sir George Martin.

Happy Birthday to legendary producer, Sir George Martin, who was born on this day in 1926. Often referred to as the “fifth Beatle,” he helped transform @thebeatles' sound with highly innovative recording techniques.

RIP #NancyWilson, the wonderful singer & civil rights activist whose supple voice & graceful sense of swing bridged Jazz & Pop on many Capitol records throughout the 1960s & 70s. Our thoughts go out to her family during this difficult time.
On this day in 1915, a legend was born. Happy Birthday to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, The Chairman of the Board, @FrankSinatra.
