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.

What a voice! I love how he differentiates the approach, almost lyric by lyric, to paint a picture of the character's crazy despair and deranged self affirmation. I love how his voice and performance chew the scenery into a pulp, but everything feels in service to the song. Totally unique stylings, totally fantastic.

@Shaka_Zulu 2 года назад

I don’t get why this doesn’t have millions of views this is the most fantastic rendition of St James infirmary blues. You can just see how much fun he has singing it and I think if you aren’t having fun singing why sing at all? Sure we have our fair share of sad songs that are good but they just don’t compare to how upbeat a happy song like this is. I think a lot of people have forgot just how amazing Cab’s pitch control is.

Actually, Calloway's performance was live while the Beatles' final performance was actually taped ahead. So by the time, this was aired they were already back in England.

@gator_productions Год назад

How come

@noesunyoutuber7680 Год назад

@@gator_productions Probably logistical reasons - presumably they couldn't get the Beatles in the day of the live taping, likely because of touring or other press obligations, so the only option was to have them film their segment ahead of time.

Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary, See my baby there; She's stretched out on a long, white table, She's so sweet, so cold, so fair. Let her go, let her go, God bless her, Wherever she may be, She will search this wide world over, But she'll never find another sweet man like me. Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches, Put on a box-back coat and a stetson hat, Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain, So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat. An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers, Let a chorus girl sing me a song. Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along. Folks, now that you have heard my story, Say, boy, hand me over another shot of that booze; If anyone should ask you, Tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.

@vanceb1 4 месяца назад

Ed was often the butt of jokes. A lot of comedians satirized him. His mannerisms made him an easy target. What a lot of people don't realize is how he highlighted a lot of African American talent. You wouldn't see Cab Calloway on a lot of shows back then but old Ed didn't hesitate to put him on. He knew talent when he saw it and he didn't care about race.
