The British Invasion was the term applied by the news media—and subsequently by consumers—to the influx of rock and roll, beat and pop performers from the United Kingdom who became popular in the United States, Canada and Australia. The classic British Invasion period was 1964 to 1967 (roughly bracketed by The Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan and the emergence of Jimi Hendrix as a U.S.-born superstar who had his first success in the UK). The Second British Invasion refers to MTV friendly acts of the 1980's. In the latter half of the 2000's the term would be used to describe the chart and Grammy Award success of mostly female acts at first and then British Acts in general.
