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.

Sorry, but I can't stop crying after hearing this for the millionth time. I am 73 and these were some of the best times for music.

[@wadeparker8695]

Never heard of them first time listener. Found a cassette tape of their greatest hits in my garage from a previous owner. So cool!! I am 50 years old but I can definitely enjoy a timeless classic group like this

[@Gabi-cp9mn]

Ich such nicht . Das waren meine beste Zeiten meines Mannes und meine . Der leide seit einem Jahr nicht mehr unter uns ist . Er war 57 - zig . Ich bin es auch . Es ist nicht die Frage des Alters . Sondern der Gefühle . Ich bin bei Ihnen Hochatungsvoll Gabriele aus Deutschland .

I am 70. You said it!!!

[@Archtops]

Born in 1950.. I’m right there with you!

[@keithnaylor1981]

Mariah, 60s music was my life and I would love to have it all again. Fortunately KZbin let’s us relive songs from those great days, and until someone invents a time-machine we have to smile and be thankful for what we have. With some imagination we can watch the box in the corner of our rooms and everything is as it was!

[@LPJack02]

RIP the four members of Gerry and the Pacemakers Freddie Marsden (November 23, 1940 - December 9, 2006), aged 66 Les Maguire (December 27, 1941 - November 25, 2023), aged 81 Gerry Marsden (September 24, 1942 - January 3, 2021), aged 78 Les Chadwick (May 11, 1943 - December 26, 2019), aged 76 You will be remembered as legends.

[@jamesgallagher4726]

So glad I lived through this era. There's a reason this music is played on KZbin.

[@stevenlasover7062]

One of the best groups to come out of England in the early 60s.

[@voitmusic]

One of the best groups of the British Invasion. This and Ferry Cross the Mersey are timeless gems

[@ivangranger8494]

voitmusic Their rendition of Bobby Darin's, 'I'll be There,' was done in Bobby style. Its another timeless gem, for them and the late so-talented, Bobby Darin. We lost him, way too soon.

[@kevingoins9858]

"Ferry...." is a great tune as well, yes

[@FrancineAndree]

Together with the Beatles, Gerry and his band created a joyful time in British music. Paul McCartney just wrote some nice words about him on Twitter.

Speaking of the music, what a joy it was to grow up in the sixties!

That's because we weren't adults.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

I unfortunately missed the party first time around because I wasn't born until 1967, but thanks to the various CD compilations of 60s music in my collection and KZbin uploads such as this one, I can finally make up for it.

Singing live on tv in those days was unusual and brave. RIP you legend, I love this song!

[@mitchflorida]

I'm pretty sure that Ed Sullivan didn't allow lip syncing on his show.

[@lemurianchick]

@@mitchflorida Yes, I do believe there is a performance of the Mamas and Papas that was on Ed's show and Michelle is eating a banana during it. People in the comments saying she was rebelling against lip syncing.

[@thebrideoffrankenstein2415]

My dad is waiting up there to meet you Mr Marsden....he loved you....sad thing getting old 😪

[@thom6746]

"But stop your crying when the buhds sing!" Beautifully sung. Who wouldn't want Gerry singing this song of encouragement to them after a sad event? When this song came out, it was a hit, but was soon forgotten in the avalanche of great songs during the British invasion. But with time, it has become an evergreen solid classic, as fresh today as the day it came out. George Martin's tasteful and soothing orchestration brings out the beauty of the song.

[@zantelion1052]

Everytime I hear this masterpiece, it brings me back to happier years and when life was more peaceful and loving than it is today!! May one day the future will be this happy again.

[@brianblumfield3646]

cant see that it ever will, i was so happy then

[@ParmiJohn]

Every time I sit down and listen to this song I get a little bit teary eyed. Gerry, you made this little boy's life just a tad bit better and that's more than what most others could do. Thank you, Gerry.

[@irislopez4950]

Such a tender, healing, hopeful, understand song. Who needs a psychologist with this beautiful song of hope?

[@1991NirvanaNevermind]

So glad we have this music to look back on and listen to, music today is abysmal and fake.

rick It may have stirred those that have not yet, been destroyed. There are younger people starving for something with meaning through instruments and vocals. Think how this song is new, every time we hear Gerry, sing it.

[@janealogy50]

Brings me back to summertime in the mid-60s. Just beautiful. Timeless. Simple. My family always traveled from California back to North Dakota/Minnesota during the summers to visit relatives. This song will never die. Thanks Gerry and your bandmates. You'll never be forgotten.

[@muffs55mercury61]

I was only in grade school at the time but I loved the music from the Brits. Gerry and the Pacemakers were one of the best of the bunch.

[@MsLeenite]

RIP Gerry Marsden. This was such a great song to go with crying one's eyes out over a broken heart. I was in my early teens when the British Invasion hit the USA, and Gerry & the Pacemakers sounded so good over my little transistor radio. So long ago in worldly time, but sometimes the memories of those days rise up so fresh in my heart that they could be happening today.

[@Mr1963corvette]

I can relate. I was a young crewcut lad of only 9 when I first heard the docent beautiful tones of Gerry in Izmir Turkey in early 1964. I was mesmerized by him and John Lennon of the Beatles. They both played Rickenbacker guitars and held them high center chest. They were so damn unique. This music got me through moving every three years as a military brat.

[@MrGregHiller]

Beautifully put !

[@rebeccabledsoe4550]

Rip gerry Marsden you will never walk alone

[@jimborgmann178]

I sang this one at a friend's funeral. It was not easy, but she loved hearing me sing this when she was alive....

This really is 100% live with the house band doing the backing strings, oboe, etc. All you have to do is listen to the studio version to tell that even the backing track is live here. Shame about the banging / crashing noises which even seemed to distract Gerry.

[@Nefarioso]

The Beatles were still "Yeah, Yeah, Yeahing" and "Love Me Doing", while Gerry was cranking out sophisticated stuff like this.

I came very close to seeing Gerry perform in 1973. I was in the American Air Force serving duty at RAF Chicksand in Bedfordshire. I was in Bedord and stopped at a supper club that had a sidewalk sandwich board that said Gerry Marsden was appearing for two nights. I would have gone, but I was on duty at the base on both evenings.
