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.

It's a miracle this was preserved because so much media from this era is lost. Networks would save money by reusing tape, which of course meant wiping the contents. So there's so many things that were seen then and never again.

Me too. This song does something to your soul, the melody the arrangement the harmonies it transforms you. I was only 8-1958 skating to this song. What a thrill. A perfect set of voices put together. This song shall forever go down as best of the 50’s The world renown The Platters.

Love the glorious talent here. In fact, in the early 70s, I more than once gladly paid to enjoy versions of The Platters though Im not sure as to original member status at the time. They did not disappoint. Today's excuse for music, specifically rap and hip hop do not belong in the same conversation so pathetic are they IMHO.
