Before the Beatles landed in America, the people were used to the rock n' roll era; or so they thought. The U.S. was accustomed to the sounds of Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jimi Hendrix. Some, such as Elvis, mixed in a little bit of country and R&B. Rock n' Roll quickly became a genre of music praised by thousands of fans across the nation. But, however adored these artists were, none can truly compare to the Beatles. When the Beatles came to America on February 7, 1964, music junkies everywhere were swept into the psychedelic aura.
