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.

You'd be surprised how many artists out there can actually really sing and should be considered performers and not just singers. The industry standard is to retouch everything, which sort of devalues people who have real skill. I wish more people were recognized as singers for their singing and performing and not just what they can do after a million takes in a studio and post production!!

This was her very first televised performance, and she was only 17 at the time. In the 2001 documentary, she said that she was very nervous and about being terrified because she was inexperienced about performing in front of a lot of people. She said that she thought she threw up for almost 3 months before she did this performance. I think she did a great job. There was a lot of expectations because she was the most popular singer at the time after It's My Party became #1 in both the Billboard and R&B charts.

for people who think this song is about her liking Judy: It's a real story and It's not hers, the song is a semi-true story based on one of the co-writers’ daughter’s birthday parties. Seymour Gottlieb's daughter's name is judy, his daughter is straight and her boyfriend cheated on her on her birthday. That story is not about Lesley being secretly lesbian, because It's not her story.

In the recording it’s a double recording, so it’s her singing the song twice in the same key overlapped with each other, a technique her producer Quincey Jones perfected in the late 50s early 60s. It really has a 60s feel, and I feel Lesley’s voice was perfect for it.

Singers were built different back then. They always killed their live performances

@strawberrybabybarbie 3 месяца назад

Many of the live performances in the 50s and until the mid 60s were pre recorded due to them not having the technology (they did technically but it took so much time to set up and was very difficult). In the late 60s they eventually just started using backing tracks so the singers could sing along so it wasn’t as awkward. I do think singers then had far more talent as you had to be amazing to even get discovered in the first place but yeah the live performance probably might’ve not always been so flawless if they were actually live if that makes sense?

She feels very good and has all the comfort in the world, I visit her as much as I can. She is the oldest person in Romania and the second oldest person in Hungary, although she is not confirmed yet. She told me so much about her life and how she went through all the hardships ever since, I wrote in a journal everything I learned from her. She had 4 siblings and they all passed away,her husband died 21 years ago at 91. She has been through so much but we who are from her generation we care for her and that she never misses love from us.

everyones going on about how due to the fact that she's a lesbian she is clearly singing about Judy, y'all are aware she stated in an interview that she wasn't aware of her sexuality during this time right? She came out and realised she was a lesbian well after the 1960s, this song was most likely performed as your average love song with no other intentions behind it. Her later version of 'You Don't Own Me' in the 1980s has much more power, typically I put this down to the fact that she has realised her sexuality at this point and channels this into the performance. At least that makes far more sense than any of her other 60s performances.

@@maxstanko I mean if you were a song writer who would you give your song to sing? I know I'd give it to someone who can give it life even if she didn't write it as a song writer you're gonna want to give it to someone who breathes life into the music and she does there is a point though you as the singer would need to put your meaning behind it as well to be able to put emotion into it

She belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not to have died in NYC with 50K to her name after selling millions of records and empowering women worldwide. If you want to know what young girls in the early 1960s were thinking and feeling, listen to this lady's greatest hits. Her appearance on Batman in 1967 was more sexually charged than anything the actors could say or do on screen.

Shortly after Gore's death, Judy Solash, the daughter of the hit's songwriter Seymour Gottlieb, told the New York Daily the story behind the song's catchphrase. It was actually inspired by a tantrum Solash threw before her own Sweet 16 party. Apparently Solash's parents told her her grandparents had to be invited to the party and she didn't want them there so she started crying and her father told her to stop. Her response was: "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to." Quite a funny origin for such an iconic catchphrase😂

I find it weird that people think being an LGBT musician automatically makes all of your songs secret SOS messages about your sexuality EDIT: I've changed my mind on this, actually. While I still believe it's bad to boil someone down to just their sexuality, I also acknowledge how important it is for us, the LGBTQ, to have role models, to have big people to look up to. I can't blame someone for seeing what they desperately need wherever they can.

@@ivangranger8494 If there wasn't a pre-recorded track she was singing live to (and it sounds like the Ray Bloch orchestra is live), I wonder where the backup singers were and why they didn't show them. We also rarely got to see the Ray Bloch orchestra. On Sullivan, many solo artists like Leslie here, didn't hold a mic, or stand near one. It appears they used an overhead microphone here.

@ivangranger8494 3 года назад

Shave- a-thon The same reason why we do not see the Orchestra, probably. The focus is on her. Ed Sullivan was a perfectionist, with a huge sense of humor. Did you get to see the one 'Whats my line, when he is the secret guest and wears a monster mask, so when they take of their masks, they must have gotten quite a jolt. The more I think of it, the same must go for commenters with my chosen face identity. " I am not the man, in the picture.". 😅

@benkleschinsky 3 года назад

Ed Sullivan was such a perfectionist and looked down on prerecorded singing, that when an artist requested not to sing live he would ask the label to send out a four track copy of the master tape from the studio, and they would mix reverb and microphone feedback into the mix to make the audio appear live. He would also turn the live mics on so even when they were singing to a track they picked up their voice too. You can hear that clearly on all of the Mamas & Papas performances.

@shave-a-thon3415 3 года назад

@@benkleschinsky Where did you read the bit about the 4 track master? The board for audio that CBS was using in the Sullivan control room didn't have the facilities to even play back a four track master, unless you're intimating that Sullivan's people sent out the tape to dub in reverb and then mix it down to one track and keep the mikes open for a live ambient sound while the band did the lip syncing. After 1965, alot of bands were lipsyncing on Sullivan with some singing live over audio instrumental tracks.
