DECEMBER 17, 1960~ On this Day James Carroll at WWDC in Washington, DC, became the first disc jockey to broadcast a Beatles record on American radio. Carroll played I Want To Hold Your Hand, which he had obtained from his stewardess girlfriend, who brought the single back from the UK. Due to listener demand, the song was played daily, every hour. Since it hadnt been released yet in the States, Capitol Records initially considered court action, but instead released the single earlier than planned.
