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.

Rick's only appearance on the Sullivan show. He performed "Your Kind of Lovin'" and "Fire-Breathin' Dragon" which were two sides of the same single. Despite this song being really good, it didn't chart on the Hot 100, as Rick's chart career was in a slump at the time. He was an under-rated singer and performer, and this is a great upload! The more I listen to this song, the more I like it.

[@shave-a-thon3415]

Great song. Considering how many hits he had in the late 1950's and early 1960's, I'm surprised he was never on Sullivan. Could it have had something to do with Ozzie not giving his approval so he could save Rick's singing appearances for Ozzie & Harriet's weekly show on the ABC network?

[@TomElvisSmith]

@@shave-a-thon3415 That sounds likely, now that I think about it, because Rick didn't perform on many other TV shows of the time while Ozzie and Harriet was on.

[@ccbsnyc]

His style was not suited to the 1960s. He did better. In the 70s. Of course, his heyday was the late 50s

[@ccbsnyc]

Actually, I think he would have done better if he had developed a country music style. Reading about his adult life, it doesn't sound very happy. He was dominated by his parents and his marriage (and divorce) degenerated into something quite ugly.

[@johnclark4593]

I believe Rick should have moved into country music at this time. He would have been able to make the transition and be welcomed by country music fans based on his TV stardom and rockabilly hits.

[@JoeEchevarria]

Rick Nelson was still a force in the early sixties always updating his sound

[@Mackermanesq]

James Burton on guitar, Joe Osborn on bass.

[@Sky11099]

Love you Ricky Nelson, Rest In Peace 💛.

[@willminkorea2010]

That's legendary guitarist James Burton on the left, in front. He played guitar with many greats, including Elvis.

[@jeffkahl]

And studio great Joe Osborn on bass! He played on tons of Simon and Garfunkel hits as well at “Age of Aquarius” by The Fifth Dimension.

[@willminkorea2010]

@@jeffkahl Greatness

[@uofa82]

But Rick discovered him.

[@hppysmiley]

@@jeffkahl Joe Osborn yep - The Wrecking Crew! And in addition to being a session bassist for so many musicians, he gave Karen Carpenter her first record contract, the same year as this appearance - 1966?!

[@elvicare35]

Elvis? Hmm, that name sounds familiar...

[@Meatcity-sf8fm]

Ricky was beautiful

[@rogerturner1881]

and very sexy

[@hnc52]

I like the song,(new one to me). It's hard to believe it didn't even dent the charts...not even AC or country? Damn, that guy was fine. I remember the day he died, so young and so talented.

[@MarkRogersVOCFB]

The great James Burton on lead guitar...who, of course, played lead for The King from 1969-77.

[@dansmith645]

Legendary Joe Osborne on bass too

[@I.K.11]

Beautiful! May his family join him someday! ❤

[@reneleclerc6119]

Ricky was Rick by 1966. His last Top Ten hit - "For You" - had come early in 1964 just before the British Invasion.

[@sebagon5883]

I love Ricky Nelson. I can't explain it.

[@rogerturner1881]

I CAN sex on a stick of dynamite

[@willdrucker4291]

Rick’s only appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show; primarily because “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet” on ABC prevented him from appearing on a rival network....but “Ozzie” was cancelled a year before this broadcast so that allowed Rick to become a free agent...of course, Rick let his hair down 5 years later at Madison Square Garden and the rest is history...

Que hermoso hombre

[@Playbyplaymedia]

I'll leave the battle to the Nelson sons, but Rick stopped with the "Ricky" when he turned 21. Looking and listening to this performance, I find it interesting that even two years in, Rick and Co. didn't show any influence of "British Invasion"-era fashion sense. I do hear, not a Jordanaires vibe in the background vocals, but more of a Len Barry-like Motownish sound. From what I've picked up, Rick Nelson valued his integrity.

[@j0hn_l3nn0ns_b1g_b4lls]

The "british invasion" was groovy, peace and love 🍎🦏☮️🌈❤️🥦🎶🌸🎼✨☯️🕺

[@KittyPurrfect100]

Bright Lights and Country Music & Country Fever were underrated albums of his in 1966 & 1967.

[@cristianrocha3718]

killer melody

[@scottogrady467]

This was his last attempt at being a crooner for Decca. After this appearance, he moved into country rock and ditched the perfect haircut...smart move, Rick !

[@davidrawlins4561]

He had more than Elvis did in some ways cant be compared only to Elvi s so close.

[@lennon1252]

He's singing to a prerecorded track. You can hear xylophone.

[@johnclark4593]

Joe Osborn!

[@weinerschnitzelrock1]

Rick's eyelashes make girls jealous !

[@ronfowlermusic]

Uh, this is Rick Nelson, the adult performer, not the teenager Ricky Nelson.

[@johnclark4593]

Rick Nelson made adult movies?

[@ronfowlermusic]

@@johnclark4593 yes. Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye 50 Dollars. Fools Rush In ( to the house of red lights).

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

You guys REALLY need to start putting the year on these titles!!

[@TomElvisSmith]

The years and dates of each episode are always listed in the description under each video.

[@keithhyttinen8275]

Ricky couldn't get his music out of 1960. It's a shame.

[@Jonathan-js3bx]

Yes he could, his late 60s stuff sounds nothing like this

[@recordguy4321]

HA HA

[@PanPanda384]

If you listened to more Rick you would know how amazing he got after 1969, I would say that his stuff from 1970-1974 is as good as, if not better than anything that John Lennon was putting out at the time. And I say it as a die-hard beatles Fan.

[@VTMCompany]

The song proves why it didn't chart.

[@rogerturner1881]

too sexy i suppose but i like it. HE WAS SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hwfranjr]

Ever notice all theses TV SHOWS WERE SO PLASTIC,IN DRESS,ACTIONS AND EVERYTHING,LOL,SO PLASTIC.

[@cruzsilva5004]

funny, rick isn't singing live. mostly Ed like for people to sing live.

[@rogerturner1881]

all 26 appearances by Connie Francis were 'live' 1958-1970

[@dpetrano]

Stupid song, stupid clothes, nice haircuts. Unfortunately, in those days, if you were young and your hair wasn't long, your records didn't sell. Ricky should have joined the anti-war movement and his songs should have reflected the anger building up during the time frame.

[@Petemonster62]

There were some American rock 'n roll guys who still had shorter hair in 1966, like the Knickerbockers singing " Lies ". Bobby Sherman still had short hair in 1966.

[@MrMace224]

Tell that to the Beach Boys and the Four Seasons.

[@dpetrano]

@@MrMace224 By 68', Beach Boys moved on from Surfin Safari nonsense. Four Season moved on from "Sherri Baby." In 68' Ricky was doing the same 1958 look and sound.

[@4mydamnself]

You definitely didn't get any good looking girls in your prime, buddy

This is a disgrace compared to his early recordings
