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.

Today’s celebrities can’t hold a candle to this.

[@TomElvisSmith]

Wonderful medley! The Young Americans were a troupe of 36 singers and dancers ranging from 15-21 years old.

[@Telecasterfan]

Imagine anything this wholesome being put on the air now.

[@chrisn7259]

This must have warmed the hearts of grandparents everywhere. With huge societal changes going on at the time, they could find solace in this squeaky clean presentation.

[@nanettenn9734]

FABULOUS PERFORMANCE🌹❤️LOVED IT 🥰

[@deanfaw]

Now that's what I call music not this other stuff 😊🎉

[@StephanieJeanne]

That was cool! I love Music Man, and of course many of us know the Beatles covered Til There Was You! 😊💜

[@jillkjv3816]

Can you imagine something like this on mainstream media today? 😂😂😂

[@rivaridge7211]

Sadly, I can't.

[@jacquelynharper3659]

It's still hard to believe that life was like this when my parents were around back then. My mom was 13 and my dad 11 in 1967. My dad passed away last year at age 67 from congested heart failure. I miss him 😢 My mom now is 70 and just sent her this to her. I know she will remember.

[@lloydbraun6026]

I’ll be 67 this Fall so I’m about your parent’s age. It’s sad how our society has become so decadent and degenerate is such a short period of time. You could see the changes coming right at the time of this video. The changes happened slowly so most people did not notice. Now it’s accepted to curse whenever you want. Do whatever you want, there are no standards of behavior and the belief in God is practically gone. We are at the precipice that either we return to traditional values, Balkanize into separate countries or something much worse.

[@Kw1161]

Thanks for this excellent rendering of an unsung writer and band director that was the leader of George Burns and Gracie Allen radio show. Probably never see music like this again, but nice if they tried…😊! Have a great day!

[@thomasduvernay7567]

Back in 1982, I did stage lighting for a YA summer stock production of "Pirates of Penzance" in Michigan. It was a fun group to work with.

[@cheardsful]

I agree bring back those days or let me travel back and I'll stay there

[@Bonnie-e6p]

This was music.

[@lloydbraun6026]

Look how far we have fallen in just 57 years. It’s so depressing. Pray daily everyone

[@RCALivingStereo]

Honestly this is what we need today We need wholesome tv shows and music again Once the Beatles came music and things changed unfortunately. We need this back So glad I grew up when I did

[@AustinCasey]

Amen! Glad I'm not the only one who sees the obvious.

[@rslitman]

Sorry, but prayer and Gods/Lords are not part of my belief system.

[@AustinCasey]

I think its more about righteousness and wholesomeness. We've gone so far from that. ​@rslitman

[@georgemartin6995]

At least there’s a couple of brothers and sisters in the group!

[@LadyLakeMusic]

Wasn’t that fantastic? ❤

[@steveb1164]

Had Vicki Lawrence left the group by this time? I know she is visible in the movie. It's a shame the Young Americans don't perform anymore...now they lead music camps.

[@andrewm5402]

I believe so. This performance is from October, 1967. The Carol Burnett Show had already made its debut.

[@Monster_Mover_Stocks]

I think this was the same group Jim Morrison tried out for. Apparently...the leather pants and swearing were frowned upon by the other group members so he stayed with The Doors.

[@bkruby32707]

I think they performed at Woodstock right before sha na na

[@chriswarner9841]

So funny!

[@juandelgadorosa3105]

Linda epoca era nena pero por mis tias vestirse y musica oian la conoci ya ellas murieron pero me acuerdo❤

[@angeloalbertoUrso2859]

O DODODO E O BAHNAHNAH NAO PRECISA LEGENDAS KKKKK

[@seattlebicycler3657]

I bet not one of those young kids has a tattoo!

[@guillermogonzalez8787]

Me hubiese gustado que sea la tlevision de mipais Argentina como este programa. En la decada de 1960 hasta 1 de junio de 1974 (Fallecio ese dia el entonces presidente Argentino juan Domingo Peron) y fallecieron estos programas muscales. Lo que hay en mi pais en la television es POLITICA que es la pelea A FAVOR DEL PRESIDENTE JAVIER GERARDO MILEI Y EN CONTRA DEL PRESIDENTE JAVIER GERARDO MILEI y GRAN HERMANO ARGENTINA donde muchos parecen personajes de comics y esta de moda una chica calva apodada FURIA que cada minuto un insulto bueno. Lo unico que se puede ver en Argentina son pocos documentales, el automovilismo que esta el PADRE DEL NASCAR QUE ES EL TURISMO DE CARRETERA y en estos dias tenemos LA COPA AMERICA DE FUTBOL 2024 EN ESTADOS UNIDOS con nuestro QUERIDO IDOLO JUGADOR DE FUTBOL DE LA SELECCION ARGENTINA LIONEL MESSI y el cuerpo tecnico son gente sencilla liderado por LIONEL SCALONI. Yo vi en pelicula Argentina de un programa de television del año 1966 que se llamaba ESCALA MUSICAL basado en le SHOW DE ED SULLIVAN

[@italoman9]

They always made me nervous. 😅😜🧐

[@PatriciaDonovan-g9m]

These groups of clean-cut young folks I found to be creepy and scary in my youth (1950s/60s). Anybody else?

[@rslitman]

This group and one called Up With People made me cringe back then. Now I recognize the talent they had, but I still have no use for God/Good Lord in my belief system.

[@MAB-nj8wf]

Boomers

[@Pghyinzer]

This is truly creepy.

[@lloydbraun6026]

I feel sorry for you
