Initially wary of signing a contract with the "Fab Four" out of concern that a British band would not be successful in the United States, Livingston eventually agreed in 1963.
After their appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February 1964, The Beatles took the United States by storm, unleashing hysteria at each appearance.
During his tenure at Capitol, Livingston also signed the Beach Boys, The Band and Steve Miller, and helped relaunch Frank Sinatra's career.
He is survived by his second wife Nancy Olson, his son Christopher Livingston, his daughter Laura Gibson, his stepdaughter, his sister, five grandchildren and three step-grandchildren, according to the Times.
