The Beach Boys

On September 27, 1964, The Beach Boys performed "I Get Around" on The Ed Sullivan Show at a time when they were experiencing a peak in their popularity. This performance came shortly after the release of their album "All Summer Long," which debuted in July 1964 and featured hits that contributed to their status as a leading force in the surf rock genre. The single "I Get Around" had just been released a few months earlier in May 1964, becoming the band's first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show not only showcased their innovative sound and harmonious vocals but also marked a significant moment in their career as they transitioned from a regional band to a national phenomenon, bridging the gap to further successful albums like "The Beach Boys Today!" and "Pet Sounds" in the following years. The performance exemplifies the band's vibrant energy and cultural impact during the mid-1960s.
