Elvis Presley was a rock star before the Rolling Stones even existed.

The Beatles became instant rock stars on 09 February 1964, when they first appeared on TV on the Ed Sullivan show. That is still the most watched program in television history.

Hardly anybody even knew who the Stones were, when the Beatles led the charge of the British Invasion in February 1964.
