Before AC/DC, before INXS, before the Bee Gees and even before the Easybeats, Australia had a supergroup that was as big and as successful as any band in the world. They were and are the Seekers: Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley. The Seekers started out in 1962, an endearingly daggy folk group that, against all odds, outsold the Rolling Stones, played alongside The Beatles and drew 200,000 people to a single concert. They've been through their ups and downs, as you do over a half century, but their songs are as contagious as ever.

When reggae superstar Bob Marley died in 1981 at the age of 36, he was not only a rich man but a powerful one as well. He was a reggae pioneer and his music has become a rallying cry for millions of black people throughout the world. In particular the Rastafarians, who dream of escaping the slums and ghettos of the west, and going back to Africa - their ancestral home. For them, Bob Marley was a spiritual leader.

There are few bigger pop stars in the world right now than classically trained flautist-turned-singer, Lizzo. Her fans love her not just for her music but also for how candid she is. As she says, she’s unapologetically a big, black beautiful woman.

But a few days ago, the entertainment world was shocked when the artist was accused of gross hypocrisy. Three of Lizzo’s former back up dancers announced they’re suing her, claiming they were body-shamed and sexually harassed. Lizzo has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, meaning a court will probably determine the veracity of the allegations.

Just before this controversy blew up, Tom Steinfort was given an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes of Lizzo’s Australian tour.

REWIND BACK TO 2009: Baby boomers, here's your chance to re-live the 60s and wallow in nostalgia. For everyone else, it's an opportunity to see what all the fuss was about. The rock festival tried to change the world. And in some ways it did.

Half a million people descended on a cow paddock in up-state New York for three days of peace, love and protest. Naturally, the oldies were outraged and, just as naturally, Woodstock became a lasting symbol of the 60s revolution. And we're pleased to report that even today, the spirit of Woodstock still beats in the hearts of many an old hippie.

When Elvis Presley first took to the stage in the mid-1950s, his wild hip thrusting and sultry voice gave conservative America a heart attack. But his young fans, particularly his young female fans, couldn’t get enough of the soon-to-be King of rock ’n’ roll. Many of those devotees are now distinguished elders, and while they continue to adore Elvis, they’re also revealing some long-held secrets. Amelia Adams discovers the King actually dated quite a few of them when they were young teenagers. And for those with suspicious minds, it raises questions about whether Elvis Presley’s obsession with 14-year-olds means he was really a devil in disguise.

The Beatles Arrive in America - [ Queens, New York, February 7, 1964 ]
The Beatles Arrive in America - [ Queens, New York, February 7, 1964 ] Hotney 4 Streams • 3 years ago

On this date, February, 9th, 51 years ago, 1964, The Beatles made their first American appearance playing live on The Ed Sullivan Show in front of an estimated television audience of 73 million Americans. Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles, and was almost immediately drowned out by the screams of girls in the studio audience, many of them fainting. The Beatles continued to play twice that evening, and “Beatlemania” had officially arrived stateside. The exposure of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 became a touchstone event for an entire generation and for music lovers everywhere.

Never before had so many viewers tuned-in to a live television program, which with an estimated 73 million viewers, was three-fourths of the total adult audience in the United States. A music group from England had never crossed over into American culture in such a way, and, at the time, it wasn't too common for a variety television show to book an English rock band. However, because Ed Sullivan traveled to England frequently, and had a great eye for talent, The Beatles caught his attention and earned a slot on his popular variety program on CBS.

Ed Sullivan had seen the crowds of Beatles fans at London Airport trying to catch a glimpse of the band on their way back from touring Sweden in 1963. Again in 1963, The Beatles and Ed Sullivan’s paths collided, when he personally witnessed another huge airport reception before The Beatles played the Royal Variety Show. It became incredibly clear that The Beatles had made quite an impact in England, and were ready to ignite teenagers in America with their catchy pop songs, adorable personalities and witty banter.

“I made up my mind that this was the same sort of mass hit hysteria that had characterized the Elvis Presley days.” With that, Ed Sullivan booked The Beatles American debut, which became a pivotal moment in American cultural history. In fact, many baby boomers still ask each other, “where were you when you heard The Beatles sing for the first time on The Ed Sullivan Show?”

The Beatles Arrive In New York for their First US Visit, 7th February 1964
The Beatles Arrive In New York for their First US Visit, 7th February 1964 Hotney 10 Streams • 3 years ago

Paul: "There were millions of kids at the airport, which nobody had expected. We heard about it in mid-air. There were journalists on the plane, and the pilot had rang ahead and said, 'Tell the boys there's a big crowd waiting for them.' We thought, 'Wow! God, we really have made it.' "

On Friday 7th February, 1964, The Beatles landed at Kennedy airport and were immediately thrust into their now-legendary first press conference there. The place was heaving with rabid reporters, seasoned journalists and camera crews from all over the world.

From there, they took a limo to the Plaza Hotel, where they stayed during their time in NYC. The Beatles' suite was a hub of activity - a place where they anticipated, prepared for and then relaxed after each of the milestone events that they were experiencing in such quick succession. They would await phone calls from journalists or to receive news of how their songs were doing in the charts; they gave in-person interviews, there, and watched themselves on television. Often, they would call into radio stations to request their favourite records.

Bit by bit, they were getting a sense of 'America'. Still, they were tired. It had been a long trip - a long day. And George, it turns out, was coming down with flu...

Click below to see original press footage of the bands' arrival.

Come back tomorrow to read about their second day in the States and their rehearsals for the the first live Ed Sullivan Show broadcast.
