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.

37 years old. In his magnificent youthful prime. And SO handsome.

[@bharp4390]

One of the best singers of all time, easily.

[@h.e.l4385]

What a powerful voice. The 50s was a decade of opera monsters like Mario Del Monaco, Franco Corelli, Mario Lanza, Björling and others.

[@artisticskillz01]

I know right. Without them the 3 tenors would never have came about.

[@shicoff1398]

Also of course Tucker, Bergonzi, Di Stefano and Tagliavini .

[@Juanchooo121]

"Others"=Callas, the ultimate opera monster.

[@Ccroes]

Lanza wasn’t an operatic tenor

[@h.e.l4385]

@@Ccroes That's true, but anyway, he was great.

[@rdargenio]

The most exciting tenor, ever.

[@SP_3333]

His voice is a weapon.

[@danawinsor1380]

That left me speechless. It's a privilege to witness such greatness. I loved his smile once that gut-wrenching aria was finished.

[@robertozompi]

The best ever. Technique, Power, Tonality, sound richness... everything at the top

[@sw5114]

This is superlative in every respect. Most powerful post war tenor, if not of all time. His self confident, near brazen style captivates all with both tenderness and sexual tension. Corelli is most often my ‘go to’ tenor, but Mario had another level of power and joy in vocal expression. Extremely captivating.

[@francisdeans402]

He had the VERY BEST STAGE Presence of ANY OPERA SINGER IN OPERAS HISTORY.

[@sw5114]

Complete command. And it was compelling. The greatest vocal powerhouse of the last 100 years.

[@roberthorn1838]

Truly amazing! There is nobody today who even approaches him

[@MrMountainJohn]

Saw him in Chicago as Chenier with Tebaldi. Over 20 curtain calls. No one today could wipe his shoes!!!

UNICO

Voce e tanto sentimento

[@dina113east]

These old videos are treasures from the past. Wow, Del Monaco had a strong, powerful voice. The tone of his voice is deeper than many tenors of his time. A beautiful, rich voice. Thanks to The Ed Sullivan Show and to the late Ed Sullivan for bringing the music of opera and the opera singers to the American people.

[@MrSpideryfingers]

The orchestra is so much better than its studio version, also the way he's singing is incredible

[@lanfrancogiannini9887]

Che meraviglia una voce squillante senza sbavature. Grandissimo Mario rimarrai sempre nella nostra memoria

[@Candy-ji1sr]

The greatest of all time.

[@pputnam100]

I just kept shaking my head at this performance. What the American TV audience and those that were there live must have thought, they must have had their minds blown; opera buff or not, this would shake the casual observer to the core. What power, what passion, and what a freakin instrument. Wow...

[@matOpera]

Who disliked? One of the absolute best singers ever at the height of his career.

[@moorfan1]

Absolutely. One of the best video recordings of Del Monaco singing live that you can find anywhere. Height of his powers.

I cannot understand when people talk about who was the greatest tenor of all time and don't even include the colossus great Mario in the discussion..They need to watch videos like this one and his rendition of Nessun Dorma here on You tube.His performances, not just the incredible vocal, leaves you gob smacked and speechless.God bless the King Mario Del Monaco❤️🥰🙏

[@Monnarchmonnarchy]

@@eugeniogentili1048 Corelli was a plastic, he was with some darkness but not enough, he was so rough, especially at the end of career then he lost some darkness. Monaco was with full darkness, but too wide. You can even compare Musica probita versions of Monaco and Caruso, Caruso seems more leggero behind Monaco, so interesting

Excellent, I saw him in 1959 in the opera house singing Otello, the greatest dramatic tenor I've ever seen in my over 63 years of attending opera, the other great Canio singing this live for me was American Spinto tenor Richard Tucker, another favorite Canio of mine.

[@user-py1jg6bb2r]

Favorite Canio that lasts till his final hour... Richard Grand Tucker deserves to be on the preferred list. Mario and Richard Tucker's singing are so inspiring, every single time🅰🅰🅰

Il mio babbo si commuoveva fino le lacrime, quando ascoltava questo pezzo, anche da Mario Lanza, il babbo mio era del 1901 di Maggio un grande appassionato di opere, romanze, musica classica e canzoni è mi intrigava che piangesse. Così mi facevo spiegare perché certa musica lo faceva piangere. Adesso sono io che mi commuovo, con certa splendida musica, brava cara Elena per passarcela. Non l'hai più suonata? Grazie👍👏🤗💞💞
