On Feb 16 1964, the Beatles arrive in Miami Florida. A crowd of five thousand were there to greet them. Between Feb 7 and the 16th, the band had been very busy. They performed on the Ed Sullivan show to an audience of 73 million. They received 2 gold records. They performed 2 shows at Carnegie Hall.
On Feb 18, the band met 22 year old Cassius Clay. He was an Olympic gold medalist boxer. He was in training to fight heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. On Feb 25, Clay dethroned Liston.
While in Miami, John and Paul began to write a song. It was called ' Can't Buy Me Love'.
When the band returned home, they celebrated George Harrison's 21st birthday.
The band began their next project.
