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.

We had no TV in the early 50's remember hearing him sing on the Arthur's and Godfrey radio show my mom listened to everyday. What childhood memories!

@emmitstewart1921 Год назад

Like you,my family had no TV. Our evenings were spent listening to the Radio. One of my most vivid memories is listening to this song by Julius La Rosa. I had spent all my life listening to singers on the radio, but nothing like this. The wonder of this song, combined with his magnificent voice blew me away. I was only eight years old at the time, but it has remained clear in my memory.

Thank you for this wonderful vintage video of Julius on the Sullivan show. This performance took place two months after La Rosa was fired on-air on Arthur Godfrey's radio program. He had been a regular on the TV and radio show. This event caused a major backlash against Godfrey and plenty of fodder for comedians of the time. La Rosa had a few big hits in the early '50's, most notably "Anywhere I Wander" and "Eh, Cumpari!" which were both Top 10 records in 1953 and were sung on the Sullivan show as well. "Stranger in Paradise" was recorded by quite a few artists at this time, with the biggest hit version being by Tony Bennett. We have also seen Tony and Gordon McRae sing the song on the Sullivan show. It was featured in "Kismet" and written by Robert Wright and George Forrest, although the music was adapted from the Polovtsian Dances by Alexander Borodin.

When I was a child in the early 50's I was so entranced with musical movies and singers on TV. Julius LAROSA was introduced on Arthur Godfrey TV show as the greatest singer in the world. I literally believed it at 10 years old. For a few years I believed what was said and compared every male singer to him. He really was good but suddenly disappeared from performances. What ever happened to Julius LaRosa???

I HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS SUNG MORE BEAUTIFULLY. IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY WOMEN WERE UTTERLY ENTHRALLED BY HIM. I WAS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD WHEN THIS EVENT WAS FILMED. I OFTEN SAW JULIUS ON THE AUTHUR GODFREY SHOW WHEN HE WAS A FIXTURE ON IT, AND MILLIONS OF SWOONING HOUSEWIVES ACROSS THE USA WATCHED JULIUS ON IT, AS THEY WERE COOKING, CLEANING OR IRONING.THOSE WERE "THE GOLDEN YEARS OF TELEVISION." AT AGE 77, I HOPE I CAN LIVE AS LONG AS THIS IMMORTAL OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS, WHO HOPEFULLY IS NOW 🌠🌹"AT THE SOURCE OF ALL LIGHT."🌹🌠 JULIUS LIVED TO THE AGE OF 86.

Wright and Forrest made a career of adapting the music of classical (in the wider sense) music for musicals. All of the music in Kismet is based on music by Borodin, with some additions by Wright and Forrest. For example, the bridge in this song "I saw your face, and I ascended ..." is not part of the original. The original for this song is part of the Polovtsian dances from the opera "Prince Igor", as is another song from Kismet, namely "He's in Love". "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" is from a string quartet. Another Wright and Forrest production was "Song of Norway" based on music by Grieg. Believe it or not, it was also a hit. Richard Kiley never thought of himself as a singer until he was in Kismet (and sang this song) and he went on to triumph in "Man of La Mancha". He was great Columbo villain, too.

La Rosa had a marvelous instrument and enjoyed popular success even after his firing from the Arthur Godfrey Show, but he never seemed to learn the techniques of singing as well as he might or to broaden his appeal. His career went into a slow eclipse with the rise of rock n' roll and the demise of balladeers in general. He spent the last years of his career as a disk jockey in the New York area.

This was Julie's second appearance on Ed's "TOAST OF THE TOWN", following his on-air dismissal by Arthur Godfrey in October 1953. Sullivan didn't think Godfrey was fair in firing LaRosa, so he offered him a contract for several appearances during the 1953-'54 season. And every time Julie was on, Ed's ratings went up. The public was on his side- and Godfrey's ratings started to slip.

@johneyon5257 Год назад

one of my very favorite singers - and he is especially good with this song - but he was so awkward - especially when forced to act (eg with the girl at the start) - - special thanks to Borodin for the sublime melody

@Insomnious8 4 месяца назад

He was plucked from complete obscurity out of the navy at age 20 by Arthur Godfrey with no theater experience. His awkwardness that never affected a performance was part of his charm. In 2 years, he became a major star.

@@Insomnious8 - i didn't find it charming - it was uncomfortable for me to watch him - fortunately he had a terrific voice - but never got the hit song that would have brought him lasting fame - nowadays - he is known only by a few

@@johneyon5257 His youthful female fans mistook it for shyness and he was the earliest teen idol created by television. He spent the mid 1950s making lucrative TV appearances and few recordings. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is for television, not recording.
