Wasn't it Ed Sullivan himself? "Which is how, on February 9, 1964, Sullivan looked out at the 728-seat CBS auditorium jam-packed with a handful of adults, boys and apparently hundreds of screaming girls and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles!" http://edition.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/02/05/beatles.40/ Apr 05 04, 5:20 AM

Please excuse the misspelling of Elvis as 'b e a t l e s.' I meant "Who introduced Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show." Apr 05 04, 5:50 AM

Now THAT'S a better question, inch. It was Charles Laughton who was filling in for old Ed who'd been injured in a car accident. http://www.fiftiesweb.com/elvis.htm Apr 05 04, 5:57 AM
