However, following the assassination, the US was deeply affected, making it challenging for new pop groups to make an impact during their first visit to the country. Ironically, this is similar to the situation faced by The Beatles in 1964 when they made their debut on the Ed Sullivan Show in America. Despite the unfavorable circumstances, they managed to captivate the audience.
