= ** SOCIETY OF 1960's ** = = **Music: ** = == **One of the most influential bands of this era is The Beatles. They will start what will become known as the "British Invasion" ** ==  **The Beatles inspired many fashion crazes such as the mop top. In my opinion, there is no better example of their popularity and cultural influence than their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in the early 60's. When their music hit iTunes, their sales almost doubled that of original sales during their first year in America, they are still a popular group today. **
