9 Februari, 1964, beatlesmanin var på topp, en revolution inom musik, mode och attityd låg i luften. The Beatles gjorde sitt första liveframträdande i USA på Ed Sullivan Show. För Sullivan betydde framträdandet ett rejält uppsving i sin karriär. Programet var, och är fortfarande, ett av de mest sedda programmen i tv historien.

All Together Now, the documentary about the making of The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil's The Beatles: LOVE, is nominated for a GRAMMY Award in the Long Form Music Video category (Adrian Wills, video director; Martin Bolduc & Jonathan Clyde, video producers).
All Together Now details the story behind the unique partnership between The Beatles and Cirque du Soleil that resulted in the creation and 2006 launch of LOVE, the stage production still playing to packed houses at The Mirage in Las Vegas. The film also documents the creation of the show's music, the experimental Beatles soundscape album of the same name which garnered two GRAMMY Awards for producers Sir George Martin and Giles Martin in the categories of Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or other Visual Medium and Surround Sound Album.
The 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards will be presented Sunday, January 31, 2010 in Los Angeles.
