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.

Ed Sullivan was what we should all want to be when we're old--open to what younger people are doing and thinking, and not wedded to everything we grew up with. He hated racism, and while he wasn't against the war, he understood that many people were and that they had the right to be that way.

@SamSteinig 3 года назад

@@joelglanton6531 I'm convinced it's live. Fogerty is making sure he's on top of the mic, everything's plugged in, and - what I think is usually the clincher - Doug Clifford is hitting every beat, every fill perfectly, and this is not the studio version. So there's no way this is just live vocal on top of playback. I know bands sometimes pre-recorded non-studio versions for TV shows and then mimed those versions (most obvious one is The Who's "My Generation" on Smothers Brothers) but this is live. Fogerty's fretwork is spot-on, and so is Stu's bass playing. Tom, well... you barely even see him anyways :)

Why would you think that? Ed Sullivan was way ahead of his time. He caught a lot of flack for bringing controversial talent to his show. Especially giving black performers so much exposure. He was the first to put the Supremes and Ray Charles on TV. He was the first to put Elvis and the Beatles. The Doors, the Mama's and the Pappas, Tina Turner, Jefferson Airplane, and tons of others. Ed Sullivan is an icon and doesn't get enough credit for what he did to change the country.
