The Beatles had a tremendous impact of rock music in the early 60s. Having first become popular in the UK and Europe, they became overnight sensations after their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show in the US. Why were US fans so drawn to the Fab Four

Answer:

In my opinion, many reasons why U.S. fans were so drawn to the Beatles is because in the early ‘60s, the time was quite depressing due to the assassination of JFK. The Beatles came to the U.S. at the right time with the right style to help fill the depressing period. Although they were different their style was familiar with the Americans.
