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.

I've yet to see one complete show. Was it like Johnny Carson. It was essential as a band in or singer to be on it for America's approval & even the Beatles & to be fair he must have hated some bands like the Who but he allowed them on.

Whatever else he did or didn’t do, and I’m sure it made him $$$, Ed Sullivan brought the newest, most interesting entertainers to the masses. Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the latest from Broadway, to the comedians, jugglers, and mimes. I’d love to see a documentary chronicling the show, as well as the man. I’m aware that he censored certain things on his show. However, for many across the country he delivered the latest in the entertainment arts - every week.

Love The Bee Gees! Such a beautiful song! Barry was gorgeous!! ❤️🔥😍🎶

Barry always been so handsome 😍 ❤

I had not been born yet when he was a young man. I didn't know he was handsome this much.

Sing a song with total conviction and it will melt the hearts of the audience. Beautiful song and delivery.

[@lonestarfriend]

Beautiful song and fantastic performance from Barry. I also liked the staging, with the string section standing in a row and the shot of the French horn. A+

Thinking the same thing. Love the string section standing in a row and the French horn shot

[@katie-didellis2437]

@@solroberts4482 I always wondered what classical musicians thought of the Bee Gees /Barry Gibb. They sang too much heaven with a full Orchestra and there are other times they used expanded backup players. I wonder if they saw the genius in the brothers.

[@janeburton7647]

Such clarity and purity - can actually understand the lyrics! We love and loved you Bee Gees and late brother Andy.

His name’s Barry Gibb. I think he’s the best-looking guy who’s ever existed.

[@christopherwarren7467]

This mans music will live forever. Barry and his brothers made timeless music that was absolute perfection. I find it so amazing, especially in today’s world.

[@TWariner]

Barry, I can tell you this right now, words are NOT all you have to take girls’ hearts away.

[@muffs55mercury61]

One of their underrated songs (it only reached #15 in the USA) but today it is like much of the other Gibb magic.

[@teresadavis528]

The other thing about Barry Gibb, he has that charm and stage presence in anything that he sings and wears on stage that is effortless. This man could come out performing in a hefty bag and I still would think he's sexy. Then all the fuss on the Saturday Night Fever album seems to overshadow all of the other great albums they put out before and after. The Bee Gees were so much more this one album. I wish critics would stop pigeonholing the Bee Gees as a Disco group. I like the fact that they can have funk, soul, R&B, soft rock and country songs all on one album. Examples of this are albums Main Course, Children of The World and Spirits Having Flown.

[@squishmastah4682]

You get it.

[@lmandrakepoe]

Yes Teresa

[@jerrybrown5676]

Barry is a very kind man even though I do not know him personally. It is based on the fact that he mentioned his brother's love child at the funeral. I think it takes a very great man to do that.

[@TWariner]

It’s one of the things I like most about him. He seems respectful to everyone, no matter their station in life. He’s a good older brother, good husband, and father. He speaks well of fans. Many singers and celebrities treat fans as beneath them, and a necessary evil. Barry genuinely loves to share their music with the fans and loves to see them enjoying their songs. He generously gave his bros credit on songs even if they only contribute a word or two. He just seems to be a genuinely good guy. My husband, when I told him how generous he is with songwriting credits, said, no wonder the Bee Gees lasted so long, instead of people wanting to leave. I’ve seen singers with huge egos, and if Barry has one he disguises it well. If he’s a prima donna he disguises it well.

[@user-gq6zp3zu4y]

​@@TWariner Вы совершенно правы! Все, кто с ним общался и общаются до сих пор, говорят, что он совершенно простой, открытый, дружелюбный человек, без какого либо пафоса или напыщенности супер-звезды!!!

[@southernrail4254]

I cant stop watching this. his voice is incredible and his poise is unmatched. he and his brothers knew they had it and never settled for less than perfection. this is my favorite song and performance. i get lost in him. incredible!!

Concordo! 💖👏 Aqui no Brasil, nosso Bee Gees é o KLB, também 3 irmãos, com técnicas vocais iguais ao desse lendário conjunto. Já tive uma banda com um camarada que tocou com o KLB, Júnior. Tudo de bom pra ti, e parabéns pelo ótimo gosto musical!

[@alexcarratu5554]

There are no words to describe how insanely talented these brothers were. Barry Gibb was - and is - a songwriting genius. This song is a 1968 classic.

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

He must be the most successful songwriter of all time.

​@@bmoshareholderappleshareho855, close. He's the second most successful songwriter in music history, second only to John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
