1963: The British newspaper, The Daily Mirror, reviews a concert given in Cheltenham, England, by The Beatles. In describing the reaction of the group’s fans at the show, the paper coins the term “Beatlemania.” That term quickly enters the public lexicon, eventually becoming the name of a long-running Broadway show that gives tribute to the band and their music.
1967: NBC airs Petula Clark’s first and only TV special, Petula. During her duet with Harry Belafonte, she spontaneously reaches out and touches him on his arm. Sponsor Chrysler Motors wants the moment cut from the show, fearing a backlash from Southern viewers. Clark refuses and the show airs with the touch intact, becoming the first interracial contact to air on American television.
The nation, somehow, endures the shock. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)
