I don't know if comparing Duke Ellington and certainly Paul Whiteman to the Beatles is the right comparison. The question may be if a 20 year old a generation ago would have heard of, say, Frank Sinatra (they most likely would have) or maybe Bing Crosby (maybe not) or even someone like Rudy Vallee who was arguably the phenomenon in the 1930s (probably not).
