Fact #98739
When:
Short story:
The Beatles are at The Deauville Hotel, Miami, Florida, USA, preparing for a second Ed Sullivan Show appearance.
Full article:
Murray Kaufman : We were on the beach and saw that The Coasters were at some little dump in Miami, and that's where they wanted to go.
Steve Brandt (friend of Estelle Bennett of The Ronettes) : We all went out to a Miami twist club to see The Coasters. The boys relaxed and really enjoyed themselves. A member of the British press came along and he seemed a nice enough fellow. Paul introduced me as Photoplay's writer, and I chatted with the gentleman from time to time.
Murray Kaufman : In order for us to get out of the hotel, we went down through the kitchen and got into a refridgerated meat truck. Then the cars met us about eight or nine blocks away. We were freezing! But we had to escape the crowd. It was that bad. There were 10,000 people outside the hotel constantly.
Steve Brandt : After the club, we decided to go back to the hotel to watch TV. We were watching Johnny Carson's Tonight show when Brian Sommerville [The Beatles' press agent), called me into another room. He asked if I was a magazine writer. "Yes," I told him, "I never said I wasn't. The boys know I'm down here for Photoplay." He went on to explain that the British newsman objected to the fact that the boys were spending all their free time with me. He said I had The Beatles "exclusively" and it wouldn't be right for me to spend anymore time with them in that case.
When I went back to watch TV, Paul sensed something was wrong. He asked what Sommerville wanted. I told him. Paul left to talk to Brian. Paul returned and told me not to worry, I could spend all the time I wanted with them.
