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.

He's not as well known as Gary Puckett or Tom Jones, but he's up there with them for me. That's one of Jimmy Webb's best songs, incredible writer.

@michaelcummingsherrera1232 3 года назад

On Sunday December 17, 1967, Spanky and our Gang, performed, Lazy Day, on the Ed Sullivan Show. I missed it as I landed in Bien Hoa Air Base in the wee hours to begin my first tour of duty in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division. So I am just finding that out now as I just watched it. Flash forward to December, 1968. I missed this performance too coming back from Vietnam as I had to spend a few more extra days in-country in order to get a five month early out. So after the few days were up, I came home on leave for 30 days, just before Christmas 1968, to return to Vietnam in mid January, 1969. This song got a lot of air play in the winter/spring of 1969 on AFVN. This was my best friend's song. We were assigned to a rifle company in the central highlands and I was the company medic. He used to get up on a table at an EM club and sing it as it was playing on a juke box. In time, the rifle company disbanded and everyone was reassigned elsewhere. However, we continued to remain in contact, as he was engaged and wanted me to be his best man at his wedding after we both got out. As it turned out, he was KIA on 8 June 1969 in Tay NInh Province. Losing my best friend was something I still carry to this day. So whenever I hear this song, it remind me of him. If you can, look up his name on the virtual wall. His name is Thomas W Strathmann and he was from Beaver Falls, PA.

I was watching this live when it aired in 1968, as a nine year old. Now, across the gulf of time, I start my day by viewing this little masterpiece. It encapsulates the musical performances from the Ed Sullivan show: superb showmanship, unique sets, and vocal perfection by the lead singer. Johnny Maestro had grown up right there in Manhattan, and had been a teen idol just a few years before. This song was a big hit, and turned out to have been Brooklyn Bridge's high water mark. We can only imagine if Johnny had been given additional viable material to record.

@gstrummer Год назад

I hear this and think of the revolutionary times that were the 1960's, the passion, the turbulence, the music, the war, the counter-culture, the ache for constancy, the push into uncertainty... This song captures so much. It's of its time while transcending it. Brilliant.

This song is how I feel about a love lost. I met her 35 years ago today (July 17, 1989). I could have married her, but because of a tragic relationship in 1979, I was unable to carry through. I think of her every day and this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. This lost love's name was Mary Jane Dietrich (nee: Rempel). I wish that she could hear this song as it is me from the deepest part of my soul. Regret is the conscience's painful reminder of what had been, what could have been, and what will never be.😢

@CatheLeiper 3 года назад

Definitely! Fewer than half of the musicians on Sullivan were "trusted" to deliver top-notch performances, I'd guess, and had to lip-sync. Not sure why, as most of the groups gigged regularly and could kick out their tunes in their sleep. This is a wonderful performance--better than the record, IMO.

The memories this song bring to me are unbelievable. Had the pleasure of seeing The Brooklyn Bridge twice in concert; both at an intimate setting, not to mention meeting Johnny Maestro each time. So special! Times such as this will stay with me forever, as will Johnny's angelic voice.

For some reason I was singing this to myself this morning , & remembering that I was 16 when it came out . Now I am coming up 70yrs of age & still realise just how great it still sounds. What a voice this singer has. The simple orchestral backing along with the perfect harmony makes this a really super sing along song . I can not imagine today's 'singers' even coming close to preforming like this ... Great times for sure.. Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)

The musical composition and quality complements the songs lyrical theme. I really feel this is a singular noval accomplishment!!!! Makes this song one of the greatest pop hits of the seventies!!!!!!

Recorded and released in 1968 and stayed on the charts until early 1969. I don't believe they had any hits in the in the 70s.

One of the purest voices in old school music. left us all way too early.

Pure 60’s glorious pop, soul melodrama. I loved this as a 12 year old kid, the vocal performance’s knocked me out ! Great horns too.

These were really wonderful day's in talent & fun here in NYC- This Theatre I believe had every single talented soul performing in it when Ed Sullivan was there & alive! The theatre remains there, but ofcourse it ain't like this anymore!

JM had a generational voice: range, power across the range, but never forced. We were lucky to have him as long as we did. RIP my friend.

My mom and aunt Terry sang backup when they the band first started out...not on this video. My mom and aunt are no longer with me. And I just finally remembered the name of the song! I love you so much Momma and aunt Terry.

Hey, The Ed Sullivan Show, I think it would be great to add Ed's introductions to the acts; no need to make him invisible. My family watched him every Sunday evening at, I believe, 8PM. We never knew what we would see (aside from Topo Gigio) but it was always great. The Beatles... spinning plates..... circus performers.... stand-up. :) I think the trumpet player was quite nervous on his wee solo; a couple of slightly sour notes... BUT what has me totally impressed is the way that Johnny Maestro just sails past the hiccups and blows the performance right out of the park. So much rightly-placed confidence. To be able to sing like that!

Topo Gigio_ I remember that.

What a fantastic voice this man had. And that he could hit those high notes so cleanly, so flawlessly, in a live performance, sounding every bit as perfect as a studio recording, is a testament to his astonishing talent. And what a fantastic song! The powerful emotion this song evokes, knowing the person you loved is marrying someone else and you’re about to lose her forever, is a universal feeling. And that is why this song is timeless.

This song actually happened to me and will forever remember her when she was my love😢

Back then, if you sang well in the studio could you sound as good on a stage in front of people. This is unbeatable. The three guys singing backup are breath taking, as well. Yes, i also love Gary Puckett, and Tom Jones. Back then we were blessed to hear what a 'real' voice sounded like.

Such a great performance and great voice! Beautiful song. Johnny sings with such emotion and he can make me tear up when I hear this song. I also know he sings lead on "Sixteen Candles" with The Crests. He should've had more hits here as well. RIP, Johnny.

Jimmy Webb is/was a treasure. And Johnny's voice is magic.

When they were origionally recording this song in the studio, the producer told Maestro that when other lead singers came to the phrase near the end starting with, "if he loves you more then me" they all had to switch to falsetto so he asked Maestro if he could hit it in "full voice." The rest is history!
