A few correspondents have taken me to task for not mentioning, in writing about the passing of dear Mitzi McCall, how they were on The Ed Sullivan Show that same night in 1964 when The Beatles took the stage and the country. I left a lot of their long, amazing careers out and I guess I omitted that because I've always felt they deserved to known for something more than bombing on Ed's show that night. That seems to be all that some people knew about them but I guess it's a good story.
It's told here and lots of other places…and to their credit, they didn't shy away from telling it. Here's one place where they told it.
