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.

Top 40 AM radio.... the incredible music 🎶 kept going around the clock

@NoviJimB 2 года назад

I was born in 1960 and had several older siblings, two who were musicians, and a dad who listened to top 40 radio. I started paying attention to the radio and albums that were being played by late 1963, and once The Beatles came along I was hooked. I had no idea how lucky I was, that the most amazing era in rock history was going on. And it kept up into the 70's before times really started changing and the industry took over. The combination of talent and creativity in the industry was ridiculous. So many groundbreaking bands, so much versatility, so many bands with their own unique sound. We were incredibly lucky, and we'll have that music forever.

I was in high school when this song was in the air waves. It's such an evoking song, but the line that says: "Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky; try, and see beyond the houses in your eyes. It's ok to shoot the moon," always fascinated me. Today, I am in my late 70s and over my college years and subsequently since then, I taught myself how to play the guitar. Darling Be Home Soon is one of my favorite songs to play and sing. Sometimes someone who was of music listening age in the late 60s will tell me (s)he remembers the song, and the memories it brings back.

I was so fortunate to see the Lovin' Spoonful at the University of Dayton Fieldhouse in March of 1966 at the age of 16 after a quart (or two) of Stroh's beer. The electricity went out in the entire facility about 2/3's of the way through their set. Within 5 minutes, the Spoonful quickly converted to an acoustic set which was simply marvelous for the rest of the concert. John Sebastian was just so talented. Outstanding concert 55 years ago!

The Spoonful and Ed Sullivan's musicians gave a great example of how rock bands and orchestras could work together to make a beautiful modern tune.

As a lifelong bassist, and a Queens, N.Y. City born and raised guy- now in my about to be in my 70's, The Spoonful, to me, were THE quintessential New York City band. No other band seemed to capture the vibe, and complexity of those times quite the same way. I bought every single they released. Their music is timeless. Nothing now even comes close... it's all just formulaic poppycock that sounds so banal and typical. Only a few artists have come close in decades. I'm glad I'm old, I got to see the best bands in music history, make that history.

FUN FACT: The extra "Darlin'" after the orchestral break, before the final chorus, was initially a mistake by Sebastian, who came in early with the vocal. But upon playback they decided to keep the mistake in because it was a solid vocal take. It ended being a signature element of the song to the point where John ended up throwing it in on purpose during live shows to mimic the recorded version.

Wow.what a treat to hear this song which I have not heard in decades whereas I usually have an oldies station on and have often thru the years. And to see the Spoonuls and their comic relief in the top hat . They play this great with the orchestra as a back up. Wonderful...

One of my favorite John Sebastian songs. The Lovin' Spoonful had so many terrific hits. It was wonderful to grow up with all the fantastic music of the 60s and 70s.

I believe for the most part it is synced to the record for this performance, but even so it was great - they went the extra mile by having the musicians there.

@scottipclis9947 Год назад

@@baselinesweb I was hoping it was live. It is a little too perfect to expect the mix to come out. They did a good job with the mime and setup. The guitar amp behind the drums, etc. and it looks like they were actually playing. Too bad.

I thought this guy John Sebastian was just like me, but only I was never backed by an orchestra of violins and trombones. I guess that was the beauty of it, that it made an ordinary guys love struggles seem so significant. But in retrospect it was more like the end of the movie 'Casablanca' when Bogart says 'Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.'
