The Everly Brothers briefly reappeared on the pop singles charts in 1967 (with Bowling Green) and 1984 (with On the Wings of a Nightingale written by Paul McCartney).

Neil Sedaka regained a new generation of fans in the mid-1970s with his compilation album called Sedaka's Back that included his original recording of Love Will Keep Us Together that became a worldwide #1 hit for Captain & Tennille.

Finally, Ricky Nelson attained his final top 40 hit in 1972 with his recording of Garden Party that captured his feelings of being booed while performing at a Rock 'n Roll retrospective concert at Madison Square Garden.

February 9, 1964 didn’t just change rock music — it wiped out an entire generation of American stars.

When 73 million viewers watched The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, the British Invasion of the 1960s didn’t slowly reshape pop culture — it instantly collapsed American teen idol dominance and rewrote the music industry forever.

This in-depth music history documentary exposes 12 major American artists whose careers were destroyed by the British Invasion, including Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, Chubby Checker, Connie Francis, The Everly Brothers, Neil Sedaka, Del Shannon, Dion DiMucci, Ricky Nelson, and more.

These weren’t one-hit wonders.

They were Billboard chart leaders, multi-platinum recording artists, and household names — selling 25 million records, filling arenas, and dominating AM radio — only to be erased from the charts within months after Beatlemania exploded.

🎵 This is the untold fallout of Beatlemania.
