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.

The prior year Ray had success with a remake of "Yesterday", so he returned to the Lennon/McCartney catalog and chose this beauty. And again, it returned him to the top 40. The gospel touch really worked with this song. But I have to admit, the studio recording is preferable over this live version. Loved seeing it anyway.

I remember watching this back in '68. I was a senior in high school, playing in the jazz band. We also sampled from the Beatle's songbook. Kudos to Ed for showcasing the myriad of black musical talent, during a very divisive time in America's history. I'd like to believe it was music, the one thing we all have in common regardless of race, creed, or color, that helped guide us to a place of greater tolerance and respect for one another, through the succeeding decades. I pray that we don't lose that.

He covered this song and released it as a single in 1968. He even preformed it in his live album. It was common industry practice back then for artists to do cover songs with fresh new arrangements. If you scroll through the channel you’ll see how many artists came on Ed’s show to preform a cover song
