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.

.Saw her in concert on her final tour in Chicago. It was in the Auditorium Theatre and she filled that huge space with her voice. In the director's box were three other singers: Birgit Nilsson, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Dietrich Fischer Dieskau. They were all in Chicago for performances of their own but took the time to hear Farrell. Only a truly great singer could achieve that type of respect from her colleagues.

[@wolfwind1]

Amazing story! Thank you for sharing.

[@Knappa22]

A magnificent voice yet also tender and expressive when it needed to be. Eileen Farrell was the definitive soprano dramatica.

[@Ageless-yh7gv]

Nobody can touch Eileen in "Un Bel Di". Not only is it sung beautifully, but every word is sung appropriate to the lyric.

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

Yesssssssssss J'adore!!!

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

She was both a great operatic soprano and a great popular singer.

[@stephenhetzel8437]

Does it get any better? Wow, many thanks for this upload. I wish more singers would listen to this lady sing. Something to be learned from doing so. Something great.

[@Ageless-yh7gv]

She is a rarity. No "head voice" as such. She sings the super high notes from her chest. Few, if any, can do so.

[@moorfan1]

What a colossal voice she had!

[@williamdonahue6617]

All the while, she was a New York housewife and mother, married to an NY cop, living in a regular house, doing her own shopping and errands. The total non-diva, but with talent oozing out of her.

[@Beaglemaster3]

The backyard of her home on Staten Island was side by side with my grammar school's playground. She kept a low profile, but after about 5 years I finally spotted her out there doing her garden. Lucky me! lol

[@nancyinthehollow]

The big question is whether you could ever hear her practicing?

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

Incredible voice!!

[@ShadowMaster]

WOW!

[@blueeyedbehr]

wow. just wow.

[@carloscenteno59]

Que linda y bella esa voz. Tiene mucha presencia esa voz y mucha energía con una dulzura. Bravo!!’🎉❤❤❤

[@wim1366]

when you cry at the end you know it was good, i wish i was there, i was born but a bit to young (2), and somewhere in Europe (Belgium)

[@TomElvisSmith]

Such a beautiful song! This is from the 12th season premiere episode of the Sullivan show, which was an hour and a half long.

[@kuromitsu1]

The best!

[@stephencostan207]

phenomenal voice production

[@PaulGood-wt7mb]

Wow!

[@andrewchim807]

Every word it so clear!!

[@jimbuxton2187]

Beautiful....

[@jamesewanchook2276]

just great!! What expression... hits you hard....!

[@jjmboston5832]

Thanks for posting. Ed Sullivan had amazing talent over the years. Love the oversized butterfly decorations too LOL And in a later episode Eileen and Louis Armstrong sang "S' Wonderful"

[@aDogNamedHandsome]

So beautiful and seemingly effortless.

[@christinec.6685]

Amazing!

[@lindakritzberg7975]

Her Christmas song, "Song of the Crib" has always been one of my favorites. She's a beautiful singer.

[@thomashaueter9675]

Incredible performance!!

@Emmanuel Alexzander i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@abdielcalvin9337]

@Emmanuel Alexzander it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

@Abdiel Calvin glad I could help xD

[@DominicR-y5d]

Wow! Those last notes!

[@mistersmith1883]

❤️❤️❤️

[@16toulousse]

Brava 🙏

[@rascassedemarseille1839]

I did not know her yet, and I think I missed a lot!..what a plain and magnificent voice!..plus she does not "spit" the T and the D, and she does sing proper R (..not english) when she sings in italian!

[@brucekuehn4031]

Believe it or not, opera was only half of her talent. See her singing with Louis Armstrong on S’Wonderful which was also on Sullivan’s show. They don’t come around like her anymore!

[@IngenuousSoprano]

​@@brucekuehn4031 yes! She had a great belt too!

[@georgepbucklin189]

All of the comments above say it as it is and was a real dramatic who coil also do cross over as no one else… o wonder those greats in Chicago at the time mentioned knew some thing sensational was happening at her concert !!

[@iTube22100]

Wow+++++++++++++

[@ben-hurjudha3648]

First time for me to listen her in this song, great,clear, naturally and very different from Ying Huang who are the great in another feeling.

[@Shamsithaca]

How did the Sullivan find a way to pay for all these orchestra players for posting this for free after all these years. What a great show that we dont dare repeat for fear of monetary failure...pretty sad!

[@fr9khg57h]

Sullivan had the media mafia money backing him! Dude could get berlin,la scala,LSO,NY, every major orchestra in one giant stadium on a 48 hour notice hahahahaha

[@Shamsithaca]

@@fr9khg57h Not surprised. We need some media moguls to support honest to goodness TV once again, get some of the actually talented people from the MET, Broadway etc. with great musical talent to grace the TV screens once again.

[@wim1366]

Don't you even mention "Susan Boyle"

[@mariofilippeschi4855]

I liker her but a little draw back because her tongue moves.

[@davidvscalvim2836]

Just close your eyes and listen to that incredible voice.

[@gummypusswatterson1322]

@@davidvscalvim2836 even if you close your eyes, those tongue movements are also a draw back for the quality of sound. she's still wonderful, though

[@davidvscalvim2836]

@@gummypusswatterson1322 I don't agree. When I close my eyes I hear a golden voice like Flagstad's.

[@gummypusswatterson1322]

@@davidvscalvim2836 i didn't say otherwise, however i can assure you that she would sound even better without that sort of tongue movements. it's unnecessary tension

[@Knappa22]

@gummypusswatterson1322 When you sell out Carnegie Hall or the Met, we’ll all come hear you sing, and marvel at your perfectly still tongue.
