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.

[@Peorhum]

@@garyaugustus690 hahaha. I am NOT putting them down for their age at all. Just saying with they have more class then today's dancers. Picked more for their professionalism. Picked because they can show up, be shown a move, learn it in minutes and be expected to carry it out despite any distractions that may happen on live TV. Dancers of today are hired often for looks alone and taught dance steps and learn them over weeks/months and travel with the artist. Doing the same as these ladies did likely would hard for them.

I've watched this video many times because I love it and also to study it. And to see if he lip-synced and I've concluded that he didn't. Performers rarely lip-synced on The Ed Sullivan Show and Johnny Rivers was a performer who wouldn't want to. He moves down those stairs not only slowly but carefully coordinating his whole body and with his singing. I love the subtle feeling of how he's "made it" going with his strong singing of the end of the song. 💕🎵

I was crazy about Johnny Rivers in the '60s. I wore out all his albums playing them. He had a great voice. I still enjoy his songs in 2023.
