The Beatles stand in a line against a white background.

When The Beatles arrived in America in 1964, they begrudgingly attended a dinner at the British Embassy. Typically, they tried to avoid these types of events, but they decided to attend an embassy dinner for the first and last time. The Beatles were reaching the height of their popularity, and even guests at the exclusive event demanded their attention. Fed up, John Lennon left the party early.
