The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I was his part time grounds keeper the last two years of his life. I went to school with almost all of his great granddaughters and was a friend of the family. He was pretty bad at toward the end. He'd had a stroke or two. And was hard to understand, but when he got his guitar he could sing and play so clearly is was stunning. He completely changed. I only saw it once or twice but it left an impression on me. It was like the stroke symptoms and his arthritis disappeared. Great man. RIP ✌

@G0K3001 3 года назад

Awesome story! Yes from what I've read many stroke victims retain their musicality. That side of the brain still is undisturbed. I don't understand how the paralysis allows the body to function. In MR. BO'S case he could still play his music he created: ROCK AND ROLL- GLAD YOU WITNESSED IT!

@bradentonguy50 3 года назад

Yeah. I saw Glenn Campbell’s farewell tour. He was TOTALLY disoriented. Had no idea where he was and I wonder if he even knew if he was there at all! BUT, his singing and playing were incredible! I read somewhere that musical ability in humans is deep, deep inside the brain. From what I read, terribly brain-injured people still retain a substantial amount of appreciation and recognition of music. I guess that this might explain what was reported about Bo. I witnessed it myself with Glen. Really re-affirmed my belief in God to see him do what he did.

@Odin029 Год назад

For those who don't know just how rock n roll this video is... Ed Sullivan, one of the most powerful people in TV back then, wanted Bo and his band to play the song Sixteen Tons which was a hit at the time for Tennessee Ernie Ford, that's why there's straw all over the stage. Bo agreed and then of course went out and played his own song. If you notice how they all kept looking to the sides of the stage because they all expected to be dragged off for defying the powerful Ed Sullivan, but the song Bo Diddley ended up being a hit.

@wanaraz Год назад

Great story but I don't believe it. Everybody who went on Ed's show had some sort of talent or hit song. That's why they are on the show. That song topped the charts for TWO weeks in 1955.

@drgeff1 9 месяцев назад

This is absolutely a true story. Even worse it got into a very aggressive verbal altercation with Ed Sullivan calling bo a pejorative racial term that nearly led to a fist fight. Bo Diddley was banned from The Ed Sullivan show for 7 years and wasn't able to even into any of Alan freed's films It was a dumb misunderstanding what happened. Bo thought he was going to get to play both songs. There was a cue card miscommunication. You can hear the whole story on the wonderful podcast The history of rock in 500 songs episode 30 Bo Diddley

@bonehead1170 8 месяцев назад

I have read that it was a mistake and not an act of defiance by Bo Diddley. Bo supposedly agreed to play 16 Tons. The story is Bo read the set list, seen "Bo Diddley. 16 Tons" and because his name was also the name of his hit, thought that he was to perform the two songs back to back. The confusion was caused by the artist and song having the same name.
