From Alicia Keys to Katy Perry to Maroon 5 to a reunited Eurythmics, the stars of pop, rock and R&B got together to pay tribute to the legendary Fab Four for CBS special The Night That Changed America: A GRAMMY Salute To The Beatles. The televised event aired Sunday night (February 9) — exactly 50 years after The Beatles made their American television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show — but was taped the day after the Grammys (Monday, January 27).

The special itself was trimmed down from four hours to a TV-friendly two, and featured performances from modern day acts, interviews with Beatles insiders and, of course, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr taking the stage for a tear through some classics.

Catch Katy’s take on “Yesterday” above, then head below to see more from the tribute.

Eurythmics — “Fool On The Hill”
