May 1964: Louis Armstrong & The Beatles met in the pop charts


Louis Armstrong - Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly! - Amazon.com Music
On this day in 1964, Louis Armstrong's "Hello Dolly" ended The Beatles' historic domination of the US pop charts.  

The band from Liverpool had the # 1 song on Billboard for 100 days.  It was truly amazing!

The Beatles came back with more hits in 1964 and a movie that summer.  

We remember today that it was Louis Armstrong himself who ended the streak, one of the most amazing streaks in music history.
