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.

For those who don't know who these ladies are and it would seem many people don't... They are, Baayork Lee (Green dress), Julie Stites (red dress) and Barbara Alston (blue dress).

Hm, someone below points out that the replacement for Donna M is Lada Edmund, and I think he/she is right. Different facial features than Julane. Gotta point out that Kelly Bishop is still killing it in the ensemble, though!

@@LAPhil13 thank you for confirming for me that Kelly is still up there. Can you likewise confirm that she's the one standing onstage in a white tunic blouse and not the one standing on a desk? I have watched the various videos of this number and can never see clearly enough of those two is Bishop.

@LAPhil13 2 года назад

@@tejaswoman , yup. She's on the floor, and you can see her right between Miss Wong and Miss Della Hoya in the final "Jingle Bells" moves. She's also very clear at the opening, sitting on the desk to the right of the guy announcing the entertainment. And she was still going by "Carole Bishop" at this time.

@Autostade67 10 месяцев назад

Also one of the best songs Bacharach ever wrote with Hal David - it's so ridiculous but you can't stop smiling throughout - but it's also canny: the energy of the song along with Michael Bennett's deceptively simple 'looking' (it is neither simple technically nor simple looking on second analysis) High Octane 'Hullaballo' choreography has one of the most incredible builds in Broadway production number history. Dazzling.

No. And as good as Julan Stites was, she doesn't have Donna's authority and razor sharp snap either. She was also taller that the other girls in the original - which was important in a trio like this. She was in total control. Long ago now, but never forgotten.

Dear God I love this number. It is so nice to see a clear version of it. Back in the 80s when us old theatre geeks had VHS tapes I used to play the grainy version from my Tony Awards highlights tapes constantly. I can't get enough of the late 60s Bachrach sound and of course one of Jonathan Tunick's first (if not the very first) brilliant orchestrations

@jochenstossberg5427 Год назад

I saw the original Broadway cast. The score was absolutely incredibly exciting. I didn’t know this was out there. Seeing this live almost lifted me off my seat. The Ray Block band does a great job here. They were always kind of square when playing anything contemporary. But they really nail it here except for the trumpet solo. He starts but kind of disappears until he hits that last high note.

@alextirrellRI 7 месяцев назад

I think part of the reason behind the lackluster trumpet solo is that it's in the 3rd Trumpet book. It just has chords and slashes for those 6 bars. My guess is the player was not comfortable improvising.

Ed Sullivan had such a great show. He had so many Broadway shows perform, ballet dancers, opera singers, popular singers of the day. It was a family show that everyone would gather around and watch. My most profound memory was seeing the Beatles first American performance. I was just a little kid, but I remember my mom getting me out of bed to come and watch them. Everyone knew something historical was going to happen that night.

@jochenstossberg5427 Год назад

None of these characters really appear in the rest of the show. This was designed to send the audiences out to interval on a high. It's meant to be a show stopper but it also serves a dramatic device in the show. Everyone's having a great time, and heading out of the office of to families for Christmas - and Fran is alone. This is a counterpoint to what happens later.

@marydougans8211 2 года назад

I like this version better than the Tony one, only because it’s much better quality and the tempo is more consistent. What they did to this number in the revival was a travesty.

@alexross1997 Год назад

If I’m not mistaken they talked about the Tony performance tempo surprisingly being taken much much faster than what it was supposed to be. They were all scared but everyone went with it.

@lamisk5479 Год назад

I love the outrageously fast Tony because the dancers rise to the occasion and do an impossible to repeat performance. There’s no way they could do it at that speed night after and twice on Sunday!

@@lamisk5479 I agree. Its very close to falling off the rails, and that's what makes it so good.

@jochenstossberg5427 Год назад

It's only because the Tony's version is badly filmed - and the stage was slippery. How they pulled it off is beyond belief. Julane Stites is fabulous, but Donna McKechnie had a razor sharp 'snap' to her dancing. You knew who was in charge with her. The revival was the worst. Right up there with How To Succeed.

For this number, and all full on dance numbers in pretty much every big Broadway show, where the dancing is so hectic during numbers that are also sung, they use pre recorded vocals, and in this show, four backup girls in the pit to create the pop sound. Obviously in other songs with no dancing, the songs are all sung live. Unless you're the fabulous Liza -who famously used pre recorded vocals for the entire performance of The Act, until someone in the front stalls caught her out. Very embarrassing for Liza, who said she was just tired - and immediately went back to singing herself. Most of the time. You can see in this clip that the girl on the right isn't actually singing. Not even trying to mime either.
