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.

  1. The guitar solo sounds as if it came from Joe Meek's "studio." It really has that early 60s British sound to it. Good stuff!

    Also interesting how the mics in this performance picked up the bass drum so well. Were they providing the instrumentation to a pre-recorded vocal track?

  2. This is why I'm so happy Ed Sullivan clips are being shown. All live performances. Key performers of their times. Many years of production, too. The Ed Sullivan theatre was built for these live performances.

  3. Love still does those stupid hand indications that are totally unnecessary in performances now. Always annoying. Like nobody could figure out the lyrics without him showing it.

  4. This just sounds like one of those songs that would have been a challenge for the band to replicate live. But they pulled it off! And Carl's guitar solo replicating the organ solo was immaculate! He was a brilliant teenager in his own right! And the girls went crazy over his guitar solo, too!
