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.

[@musicofanatic]

@@scootergeorge9576 I detest Mike Love, the most ironically named person on earth. His talent is marginal, his politics frightening.

[@scootergeorge9576]

@@musicofanatic - Rather ironic username, musico. Love wrote the lyrics to many Beach Boys songs. His singing voice is decent; an integral part of the group's harmonizing. His politics? Other than his support for the president, who he claims to be a personal friend, what? I'm not saying Mike has no faults. While Murry Wilson was managing the band, Mike was constantly after Brian over his lack of writer's credits for the lyrics he wrote. He should have went directly to Murry with his beefs. He's also an admitted procrastinator. Puts things off to the last minute. And his HOF rand was ill advised. But "detest" him? There is too much hate in the world. If anything, Mike deserves credit for staying with, and touring with the band, keeping the Beach Boys going as a great touring band doing the group's classic music.

[@musicofanatic]

@@scootergeorge9576 No irony at all; I am fanatical about music and always have been. Whilst I initially had a more open mind about supporters of the current administration, eventually I came to hold any supporters as being personally responsible for its existence, thus any supporters held in the same disdain and contempt as I hold the current administration. Additionally, Love's stage presence always seemed out of line with the positive vibes given off by the other band members; like he was uncomfortable in his skin, and trying too hard to appear "cool". His public persona is one of a malcontent and a confrontationalist. What a putz!

[@scootergeorge9576]

@@musicofanatic - In other words, you have nothing. Only connection I've seen with Love and Trump is they are friends. Love said they get along. No mention of politics. And politics has nothing to do with musical talent. Love is stiff on stage and can't dance. He allegedly has an oversize ego. Now if those are grounds to "despise" the man, you just may be a hater. And malcontent? I don't see it. Only real evidence of that is his HOF tirade. But actually, he was trying to make a good point. Bands need to do more for charity. Bad timing and style following the tragic death of Dennis Wilson. I don't hate on Mike Love. Read his book, "Good Vibrations..." I took positives and negatives from it. There was honesty and baloney, in my opinion. For example, he has high praise for Brian, who he considers a genius. Says his HOF thing was because he couldn't meditate that day! Can't stop you from what you believe but isn't there too much hate in the world? PS - I voted Libertarian again because while I support the President, I'm not voting for him. Biden either. But if Joe is elected, I will support him. I'm a vet who still views the president as Commander in Chief. Call it a personality flaw. ; )

"I Get Around" is one of those rare one-of-a-kind songs. Like "Friday on my Mind", "Strawberry Fields" and "Summer in the City", it's so unique it can't be compared to anything that came before and sure as hell didn't produce any spin-offs. I must say this is one hell of a live performance, because it's a pretty intricate arrangement.

She was te only thing that mattered to me other than music when I was in high school. She was beautiful, sweet, funny, a great person, and she was smart enough to break up with me after six years! LOL! BTW as an added bonus, she could scream the, 'Baby, It's You' part, in the song by Smith, perfectly! Loved that gal!

For all those "Mike-haters" - great example of what makes the Beach Boys sooo awsome: Mike's wry delivery of relatable story-lyrics in contrast to Brian's out-of-this-world natural falsetto. It's a Band, it's a mix of great talents!

[@kshepard52]

If the big musical decisions had been left up to Mike Love the band's success would have been a fraction of its eventual success. Mike fought Brian's genius and instincts at almost every important juncture, and then did his best to exaggerate his own contributions, including suing Brian. Brian was 80% about the music, 20% being a star. Mike was the reverse.

[@cdk2968]

I 100% agree with you, but the confidence was really just a face. According to Brian himself, he was always freaked out on stage. A guy that sweet, humble and shyly nervous could never fully enjoy himself in the centre of attention.
