In an unusual departure from our usual format, this episode of the Beatles60 Project, titled “Little Children,” ventures into the deeply personal terrain of our host’s own past. More than just a nod to the Billy J. Kramer hit, the title reflects a dual significance: it’s a rare glimpse into the formative record-fueled memories that shaped a preschooler’s world in 1964 and an homage to the song that echoes through Beatles60 host Larry’s recollections. These vivid memories, intertwined with the lives of icons like Billy J Kramer, the Beatles, and Dionne Warwick, may seem extraordinary, but they are as real and intricate as the grooves on a vinyl.



While the Beatles60 Project typically serves as a historical society, dissecting the 1960s through the lens of media, music, and fandom, “Little Children” stands out as a testament to the peculiar coincidences that have trailed our host since those early days of vinyl obsession. It’s not every day that we turn the spotlight inward, examining the quirks of fate that connect us to the era’s luminaries.



Join us as we unravel the mysteries of childhood memory, pondering why certain moments outlast others. And in a special treat, we’ll hear directly from Billy J. Kramer himself, offering a unique perspective on the song that shares our episode’s title, and our host’s sister, who, as a teenager in the swinging sixties, offers another layer of authenticity to this nostalgic journey.

The Beatles got on the Ed Sullivan Show through the efforts of Peter Prichard, a London-based journalist and friend of Brian Epstein. Prichard, who had a connection with Ed Sullivan's talent scout Jack Babb, suggested to Epstein that he could get the Beatles on the show. Despite some initial doubts from Babb, Prichard persisted and arranged a meeting between Epstein and Sullivan. In November 1963, Epstein and Sullivan met at the Hotel Delmonico in New York, where they agreed to schedule the Beatles for three shows on the Ed Sullivan Show. The deal was made before the Beatles had achieved any success in the US market, but their popularity quickly grew after the handshake agreement. The Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in February 1964 helped launch their career in America.

In this episode of Beatle60 Live, our guest interviewer — historiographer Rob Geurtsen — and guest expert, Dr. Kenneth Womack discuss Ken’s upcoming book Living The Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans. Available for pre-order now, it’s scheduled for release on Tuesday.

This discussion will be presented in three parts. This is episode one. Episode two will be out in a few days, and episode three by the end of the week. 

In 1963, we find that without George Martin, Brian Epstein and Dick James facilitating and pushing the Fabs’ records, performances and songs, respectively, the Beatles probably would’ve remained in Merseyside, performing round and round the same local ballroom circuit. 

Artists need support and facilitation. Mal and Neil (Aspinall), were both employed directly by the Beatles and played significant support roles.  

Despite being compensated better than most laborers in similar positions, Mal was grossly underpaid. And yet his dedication to his work with the Beatles left a lasting impact on the group's legacy.

An often overlooked factor in the Beatles’ success story was their willingness to take enormous risks. In this sense, Mal fit right in. It’s a mindset that can take you to the toppermost or can do you in. The book aims to provide significant glimpses into Mal's life, including the moments when he could no longer steer away from his collision with his own history.
