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.

We were being deny our rights to vote as American citizens by white officals putting all kind of obstacles to discourage us from voting. Are homes and churches with being blown up and fire crosses set in front of our homes. We couldn't stay in hotels but we could work in them as servants but we have to enter through the back. We can only apply to certain job positions as train Porter's garbage men for black men and black men were paid much much lower pay then white men. And my mother were a maid that washed white people clothes and she had to enter through the back door of their home and leave through the back door of their home I know because I was a young girl that went with my mother and I remember hearing names of civil rights leaders being shot including the Kennedy Brothers yeah those were the Happy times depending on who you are talking to😢

I was born in '55 - I remember when this song came out. There was a variety of music then, and a variety now. I am digging "Dirty" by Grandson (true) but I swing back around to this stuff as well for nostalgia. But I get it. There is a dearth of uptempo songs these days - it was limited back then as well. You have to dig for it. Don't patronize the rappers - if enough get that message that stuff will decrease. Hasn't come close yet, though. Dig deep, though. There's a wealth of songs from the 1920s to the 1940s that is well written and uptempo - yours to discover.

I was a junior in HIgh School when this wonderful uplifting song came out in 1967. We were well into the Vietnam War in 1967. The draft was in full swing. I remember the recruiters would come to the high school, to try to recruit the seniors to join up when they graduated. There was so much great music back in the 60's thru the 80s. Then the quality of music started to fade somewhat in the 90's. Now it seem like music is like everything else has become. Not so great. Well it was nice to listen to Spanky and Our Gang today. They definitely put out some nice music.

I was 3 years old when I first heard this great song on the radio at home with my mom and immediately loved it. It brings such great memories of my mother. Still does in 2024.

The lyrics were so clear and simple, pure. Those days are gone forever, at least we enjoyed them as it happened.

This song and "Goovin'" by the Young Rascals evoke the feeling of being a kid on summer vacation back in that time. Life was so simple. We were less informed and had so much less weight on our shoulders. Ignorance was indeed bliss.

I agree whole heartedly about your comment. I would nominate another song that fits your summer vacation theme. How about "Daydream"by the Lovin' Spoonful.

@@michaelrochester48--the oldest at the time was Nigel Pickering, the man in the hat playing rhythm guitar, and singing, next to Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane. He was 38 when this performance was aired. Malcolm Hale (lead guitarist/vocalist next to Elaine) was 26 here... he, sadly, would pass away from carbon monoxide poisoning the very next year. Bassist/vocalist Lefty Baker was 28, and the (other) rhythm guitarist/vocalist Kenny Hodges was 31. The drummer, (with the falsetto!) John Seiter, however, was a mere 20. "Spanky" herself, was 25 here!
