1968 (Sep 8) – Beatles Perform ‘Hey Jude’ on ‘Frost On Sunday’
September 8, 1968
The Beatles were seen performing ‘Hey Jude’ on the UK television show ‘Frost On Sunday’ in front of an invited audience. The song was the first single from The Beatles’ record label Apple Records and at over seven minutes in length, ‘Hey Jude’ was, at the time, the longest single ever to top the British charts. It also spent nine weeks as No.1 in the United States—the longest run at the top of the American charts for a Beatles’ single.
