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.

In 2000, my 16 year old daughter came to me so excited. She heard a "new" band The Mama's and Papas. I laughed my head off....priceless. I guess the music is timeless.

Dear Cass Elliot. Bless her heart,she took all of that on the chin with style and grace,all for the benefit of the group. She deserved so much more. I have no doubt that the Angels in heaven were happy to receive her,for she had a voice that could reign in their choir.

Someone gave my mum tickets to see Cass at the Palladium, my dad couldn't go with her so she took the nine year old me. Didn't know who she was until that night, but I was a fan by the end of the show. She was engaging and funny all evening and even at the tender age of nine I understood what a great voice she had. Then a couple of days later I found my mum in tears and momma Cass had gone. I was one of the lucky ones who'd seen her last show. Great loss.

@@jorger5777 Memories are such a difficult thing , especially from childhood. They were the days when people still dressed up to the nines to go to the theatre, especially the Palladium and it just seemed much more special back then. I can't particularly remember what songs she sung, I'm pretty sure California dreaming and creeque alley were involved, probably other mamas and papas songs as well. I just remember the quality of her voice, the clarity and melody she carried when singing. The show was also a bit more than just her singing, she engaged with the audience, told a few tales and jokes as well. I remember her tip- toeing across the stage to much laughter just the sense that everyone was really enjoying it. I wish I could bring the images of her singing back into my conscious and hear the songs she sang that night but unfortunately too much time has passed.

I'm sure everyone has a favorite song by the Mama's & Pap's but Creeque Alley has always been my favorite. Few groups have this kind of harmony.
@alkholos 3 жыл бұрын
I loved Creeque Alley, but my favorite was "Twelve-Thirty." Possibly because I knew Laurel Canyon and Nichols Canyon so well.

Trey, the music of the 60s was magical! As a kid in Canada back then, it was a wonderful time to grow up and come of age. Probably every generation feels this way, but from my perspective, the 1960s were the Golden Age. We definitely had the best music. You’re in for a real musical treat (a feast for the ears and the mind) as you explore more and more bands/groups from this era.If you haven’t already done so, get a guitar (my choice) and learn to play this incredible music. The Beatles are the best for a reason; however, there are a lot of great Canadian bands and solo artists to listen to and enjoy. One of the best is Ontario’s Gordon Lightfoot. Genre (folk, rock, Motown, etc) doesn’t matter when you’re listening to great music (as you’ve discovered with the Mamas and Papas). Enjoy,
