Photos: Iconic Musicians from the 1960s and 1970s

On February 9, 1964, the Beatles took America—and the world—by storm when they performed on The Ed Sullivan Show. After that show-stopping act, the British group skyrocketed to fame. The Fab Four is now recognized as one of the most talented and popular bands of all time. But the 1960s and 1970s weren’t just about the Beatles. Musical experimentation during this period produced artists and bands that continue to influence the music we listen to today.
