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.

There are performers who really don’t enjoy playing live. They do it to get their music out there, exposure. Then there are performers who relish playing in front of an audience. I’d say Bobby Darin falls into the second category. Very smooth, charismatic, suave, charming. He was the ‘guy’ definition of COOL. So COOL that I’d bet Frank Sinatra and JFK were saying “I want to be like HIM!”

This guy was the quintessential performer. Such talent. Such charisma. Such class. Such professionalism. From a disadvantaged background, and diagnosed at a young age with rheumatic heart disease, he knew he was on borrowed time, and that drove him to be what he became - the best. He had everything going for him … except time. The one, the only, the inimitable Bobby Darin!

@d.j.starling3559 10 ай бұрын
@@tennisbum3686 Sorry, but no, this IS a live performance by Bobby. In the early years, with most of the singers of the day, they sang live on TV. Lip-syncing became prevalent a bit later, especially with rock artists. However, American Bandstand did usually depend on lip-syncing. But Ed Sullivan & other variety shows definitely presented live performances. BTW - My dad was a musician, who played on The Mike Douglas Show out of Philly. I also had the good fortune to sit in on several recording sessions for a variety of artists. I have a real good idea of what went into the making of recordings. And yes, The Beatles were among many of best of the 60s to lip-sync on TV. Their appearances had to appeal to the young people who would buy the records, & TPTB made sure those young people heard what they were used to hearing on the radio. That's just the way it was in those years. One last thought, we should all just be grateful we have so much wonderful music to hear, & every one of us should spend part of everyday listening & enjoying. What a wonderful world this could be!!! 🙂

I was in the 6th grade & many grammar schools had a precursor class of playing an instrument called the tonette ( a small flute like instrument). for future school band members. I learned how to play Mack The Knife on the tonette. At home, I played that song over and over and over. Family members were begging me to stop. Never tired of that song and Bobby Darin took the song to a much higher level.
