Beatlemania Begins: The Beatles First U.S. Visit to Play Ed Sullivan. It seems impossible to recall a time when the Beatles weren’t part of Americans’ collective consciousness.
Yet exactly 50 years ago, on Feb. 7, 1964, as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr boarded Pan Am Flight 101 in London for their first U.S. visit, they had little idea what lay in store for them. John calculated the Beatles’ odds as the plane began its descent. He stared dolefully at the seat back in front of him, clutching the hand of his wife Cynthia. There were so many variables that would determine their success: whether “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” released in late December, would sustain its initial impact in the States; how tickets there were selling for their upcoming concerts; whether their appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show would capture the imagination of American teenagers.

Billie Holiday With One Of Her Most Powerful And Emotional Performances Ever Captured On Film. Though it was originally written by someone else as a protest song of sorts, this is one of those gems that a singer just totally owns from the start.
“Strange Fruit” was shocking to many people when it came out in 1939. Even Ms. Holiday herself was initially reluctant to sing it, fearing retribution. Though many people knew that lynchings of African-Americans in the South were common, there was much resistance to ending it, since it was an effective means of social control and political intimidation by Southern whites. She said she always thought of her father when she sang this song; he died at age 39 after being denied medical treatment at a Texas “whites only” hospital. Her voice is strong and impressive in this clip, but just look at the incredible expressiveness in her eyes as she sings the haunting lyrics.
Trigger warning: lyrics about racial violence. Next bit of Upworthiness: Bob Dylan Performs at Gerde’s Folk City – Feb. 8, 1963. Forty-nine years ago, on February 8, 1963, Bob Dylan played a set at Gerde’s Folk City in Greenwich Village.

Nina simone - my baby just cares for me. The Rolling Stones on ‘The Dick Cavett Show,’ 1972. The Rolling Stones’ U.S. tour of 1972 was a big fucking deal. Let us count the ways: The Stones had not played live shows in America since the infamous final show of their 1969 tour, at Altamont. The album they were supporting was one of the most epochal in all of rock and roll history, Exile on Main Street—which was released in America just a couple of weeks before the tour. (None of the Beatles’ late albums were supported by touring, keep in mind.
Exile was, as were Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed in 1969.) With the Beatles scattered to the winds, the Stones had the pinnacle of rock and roll all to themselves—no coincidence, then, that their sobriquet “the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band” really began to be a thing around this time. This was the tour memorably captured in one of the all-time great rock and roll books, Robert Greenfield’s S.T.P.: A Journey through America with the Rolling Stones.

It has also become a favorite for other artists to take a stab at. We have rounded up a handful of some of the more entertaining takes on this Dylan classic.

Nina Simone plays Bob Dylan. Eunice Kathleen Waymon aka. Nina Simone was the sixth of eight children, she grew up in poverty in Tryon, North Carolina. Her family wished for her was that she should be the world’s finest classical pianist. She did not get into the schools she wanted and always blamed racism. Born the sixth child of a preacher’s family in North Carolina, Simone aspired to be a concert pianist.
Her musical path changed direction after she was denied a scholarship to the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, despite a well-received audition. Simone has dug deep into the american song tradition and it comes as no surprise that she has done several of Bob Dylan’s songs. The first song is a contender for best Bob Dylan cover ever done (yes, I am aware of Hendrix’ Watchtower).

Ella Fitzgerald - Round Midnight. ‘Mingus’: Powerful and heartbreaking documentary portrait of the Jazz giant. Tuesday, November 22nd, 1966, jazz musician Charlie Mingus waited with his five-year-old daughter Carolyn, to be evicted from his studio at 22 Great Jones Street, New York. Mingus had planned to open a music school and jazz workshop at this Lower East Side loft, but he had been frustrated in his intentions and had fallen behind in the rent. As he waited for the NYPD and the Sanitation Department to arrive and remove his belongings, filmmaker Thomas Reichman recorded an intimate portrait of one of the jazz music’s greatest composers and performers. In the film, Mingus is seen moving distractedly amongst his boxed possessions, showing great affection for his daughter, recalling happier times living on Fifth Avenue, and acknowledging the inherent racism in America by offering his own Pledge of Allegiance:. ”I pledge allegiance to the flag—the white flag.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of America. When they say Black or Negro, it means you’re not an American.
Reggae. Rock. Édith Piaf’s Moving Performance of ‘La Vie en Rose’ on French TV, 1954. Édith Piaf’s life was anything but rosy. Born in a Parisian slum, she was abandoned by her mother and lived for awhile in a brothel run by her grandmother. As a teenager she sang on the streets for money. She was addicted to alcohol and drugs for much of her life, and her later years were marred by chronic pain. Through it all, Piaf managed to hold onto a basically optimistic view of life. On April 3, 1954 Piaf was the guest of honor on the French TV show La Joie de Vivre. Nine years after this performance, when Piaf died, her friend Jean Cocteau said of her: “Like all those who live on courage, she didn’t think about death–she defied it.
