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.

@d.j.starling3559 8 месяцев назад

@@tennisbum3686 Sorry, but no, this IS a live performance by Bobby. In the early years, with most of the singers of the day, they sang live on TV. Lip-syncing became prevalent a bit later, especially with rock artists. However, American Bandstand did usually depend on lip-syncing. But Ed Sullivan & other variety shows definitely presented live performances. BTW - My dad was a musician, who played on The Mike Douglas Show out of Philly. I also had the good fortune to sit in on several recording sessions for a variety of artists. I have a real good idea of what went into the making of recordings. And yes, The Beatles were among many of best of the 60s to lip-sync on TV. Their appearances had to appeal to the young people who would buy the records, & TPTB made sure those young people heard what they were used to hearing on the radio. That's just the way it was in those years. One last thought, we should all just be grateful we have so much wonderful music to hear, & every one of us should spend part of everyday listening & enjoying. What a wonderful world this could be!!! 🙂
