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.

I truly feel that she had one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. So warm and full with character and charm, both vocally and physically.

[@lisaanselmo326]

She is just so gorgeous. A face for television. A voice for the ages.

[@pasqualeperrone1560]

Unmistakable voice. You could pick her voice out of 100 sopranos. Warmth, beautiful in all registers, and great phrasing.

[@jean-danielmartino9619]

Voilà qui n'a jamais été mon air favori mais la grande Anna l'interprète à la perfection et sa voix miraculeuse nous procurera à tout jamais un plaisir inextinguible.

[@annerood2703]

I watched Ed Sullivan every Sunday night,,,I hope I was watching this as a 10 year old and it got imprinted on my brain. Alas, I was probably sitting through this waiting for Topo Gigot, Stiller and Meara or the Plate-Spinning guy, But I fortunately discovered her -- after her death but have a playlist dedicated to his woman. She had it all. Thanks

[@glgree1]

I have loved her since the first time I heard her on a recording. Her timbre was so unique and personal!

[@joshuamcpherson007]

Such a gorgeous and unique timbre she had... and very natural placement. She was under-appreciated in her day.

What is "placement"? There is nothing "natural" in singing. You are literally repurposing your organs while singing

[@joshuamcpherson007]

@ No. Our "organs" were designed to make a wide variety of sounds, on various pitches, in order to speak. We take in breath, and expel it over through our vocal cords to do that. Singing is just an deliberate exaggeration of that process. Some singers never required a vocal coach to show them how to create musical sounds with their throats. They knew instinctively where their singing voice was. I call that "natural placement". Other young singers may need years of instruction, and work for years try to "find" their voices.

[@BelaOchsmichs]

Lots of animals "sing".

​@what's not natural to you, is natural to someone else. Duh.

Anna Moffo was Anna Moffo a great soprano.

[@johnpickford4222]

@muffo1965: “Anna Moffo a great soprano was Anna Moffo”!?!?

[@jimbuxton2187]

When I heard her in a live concert, I noticed her voice had more soprano ping than on records where she sounds more mezzoy.....a beautiful wonderful artist with beautiful timbre, huge range and beautiful looking to match!

[@garysmith394]

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. We lost her much too soon.

[@maurobarbiero7043]

Most beautiful soprano and one of the best coloraturas. Probably the greatest American soprano ever.

[@isaacdavidgiraldomendoza4728]

Qual fiamma avea nel guardo. Gli occhi abbassai Per tema ch'ei leggesse Il mio pensier segreto. Oh! S'ei mi sorprendesse, Brutale come egli e. Ma basti, or via; Son questi sogni paurosi e fole! O che bel sale di mezz'agosto! Lo son piena di vita e, tutta illanguidita Per arcano desio, non so che bramo! Oh! Che volo d'augelli, e quante strida! Che chiedon? Dove van? Chissà? La mamma mia, Che la buona ventura annunciava Comprendeva il lor canto E a me bambina cosi cantava: Huí! Stridono lassù, liberamente Lanciati a voi come frecce, gli augel. Disfidano le nubi e il sol cocente, E vanno, e vanno per le vie del ciel. Lasciateli vagar per l'atmosfera Questi assetati di azzurro e di splendor; Seguono anch'essi un sogno, una chimera é vanno, é vanno fra le nubi d'or. Che incalzi il vento e latri la tempesta, Con l'ali aperte san tutto sfidar; La pioggia, i lampi..., nulla mai li arresta, é vanno, é vanno sugli abissi e i mar. Vanno laggiù verso un paese strano Che sognan forse e che cercano invan. Ma i boemi del ciel seguon l'arcano Poter che li sospinge, e van, e van!
