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.

Tony is the GOAT! He doesn't just sing, he lives each song with his soul. I feel like he's singing this directly to the one he loves with all his heart

[@SandraNasrollah]

He lived in my city San Francisco

[@SandraNasrollah]

My goat

[@hankhank8742]

rest in peace tony, you were one of the best

[@stratobunny]

Tony sings with such conviction, his pacing is so wonderful, he inhabits the whole song and communicates his love of it. A beautiful and intimate singer. What a musician. Also the sound quality for this video is amazing!

[@shawnclare-nb1up]

So well said..a great artist

[@taurnguard]

Forty-two in this. Ninety-Six when he died. Shared over fifty years of his life with us, entertaining us with his extraordinary gift. Thank you, Tony.

[@midnightalley4586]

He is one of the few artists who actually got better with time

[@timford3599]

Both He and "The Velvet Fog" Mel Torme'.

[@jakela671]

This is Bennett at his very best. Beautiful.

[@ronalddippenaar2381]

The only singer who could talk through a song as part of his phrasing. Pure vocal genius!

[@peterjones4621]

Nobody before or eons after Tony Bennett leaves us will there be anyone even close to this amazing crooner.

[@nickbonvino]

So true.. even Frank said he was the best!

[@murph3001]

Truly truly a great vocalist . Rip thank you for all the great music.

[@robertkroberjr.157]

This was a little over 2 weeks before my 2nd birthday. RIP Mom and Dad 😇🙏❤

[@evanjameson5437]

Sorry for the Sinatra fans, but Bennett is in a class by himself--what a voice, what CLASS and style and just so spiritual in his singing. I was blessed to have front row seats in Vegas and he gave the finest, most professional and entertaining show EVER.. God Bless you Tony!!

[@Lightning-H]

As great as Frank is, I prefer Tony. He is my number one. The best and the King.

[@murph3001]

They are two great singers who were very very different. I don't compare I simply enjoy

[@jankhank3894]

​@@murph3001nothing wrong with comparison

[@nickbonvino]

Frank said himself that Tony was the best! I love listening to them both..

[@stevesmith6685]

Bobby Hackett with Tony Bennett on the Ed Sullivan Show. First time I ever saw this. It is our wedding song, not this version, but my wife and I have been married 42 years and a half. LOL! Great rendition of this classic.

[@bh5606]

Love it...the way that Hackett waits for Tony to do his thing is pure pleasure.

[@peterjones4621]

And almost 60 years later he's still doing it!!

[@travelinman]

My favorite crooner

[@finallybrainunderstood479]

Yes indeed...

[@DarrenGauthier]

Who gives this a thumbs down? Five idiots! It just doesn't get any better than Tony, Bobby Hackett and The Ralph Sharon Trio. Pure velvet magic.

[@BiggerFatterBlog]

Fake artists like Taylor, Swift, and Nicki Minaj can’t hold a candle to people like Tony Bennett, and people like Freddie Mercury, who could really sing without the aid of digital trickery.

[@glennschlegel7160]

Talk about a Mt Rushmore of music 🎶

[@BiggerFatterBlog]

Pure artistry and amazing vocal chops!

[@brendaestrada1782]

Such a romantic, sexy and beautiful voice! R.i.p. sir!

[@bhodges00]

What a voice.

[@ralphseewald4069]

I have every one of Tony Bennett's vinyl albums. I love to listen to them when I'm in the kitchen cooking and baking

[@Soulartist13]

Tony makes the tune spontaneous as if he's singing these words for the first time.

[@jmrodas9]

For me it is always a pleasure to listen Tony Bennett sing, as he had such a nice voice, and he sang with real feeling, and a talent that cannot be faked. I am glad he lived a long life, and may now rest in peace, now his path through this Earth is over. RIP Tony Bennett.

[@alphonsepetitboudu6552]

quelle diction parfaite! j'améliore mon anglais en écoutant chanter Tony BENNETT 🙂

[@c141]

Just passed. End of an era, the greatest of all time

[@williamdane4194]

A very long career and we are happy that it’s been long. Thanks for all the songs Tony. Thank you for posting.

[@susanpolice8465]

OMG!!! SO SWOONY!!!!

[@williamtimmins627]

A wonderful rendition of one of the classics from the Great American Songbook. Tony Bennett's consistent level of excellence for over 70 years was incredible. That he has had to retire at age 95 is our loss, but the man deserves a well deserved rest. And I agree with the comment below, Tony is the GOAT!!!!!

[@lukasnummer1]

It was a big mistake to have an Alzheimer's patient of 95 years of age retire from the only thing that he fully remembers and which is the love of his life. Tony's son says they were afraid he would "fall on stage" or develop other physical problems; while he was still a "capable performer", his "continuing health" was the most important thing now. For how long do you expect to preserve a man who is almost 100 years old and has a severe progressive cognitive illness, taking away the only real joy he still had? I have ZERO understanding for this.

[@deannoble673]

So good. What control he had over that beautiful voice. Beautiful arrangement too.

[@glw5166]

Always and forever the best! RIP

[@charlesbryan482]

Bravo

[@tat2dluvboy]

Tony with Bobby Hackett, total perfection.

[@robratchford2433]

There is only one Tony with his unique style and phrasing! What a treasure!

[@pattibrooks1907]

Another great tune by Tony Bennett ! Thank you very much dear . Play more of Tony Bennett please !

[@robertjosephkeil]

What class. Popular music of the highest quality.

[@gailklein9020]

Pure genius and class.

[@mrcash9226]

Tony Bennett so much feeling and emotion in those days no one could come close not even Frank. Phil caggiano

[@RonCarterBassist]

Wonderful...

[@philiprichardson4120]

Every note steps out. He's got that high overtone brilliance, as does Stevie Wonder. Floats over the arrangement so that we can all enjoy it to the fullest.

[@SandraNasrollah]

My goat

[@shawnclare-nb1up]

Should be 38 million views!!

[@migueljaramillo6727]

Saludos desde Quito, Ecuador. El mejor cantante del mundo. Si Frankie lo dijo...

[@WPM_in_ATL]

Those MKIV Marconi cameras are great...and so is Mr. Bennett.

[@jamesgale2486]

Rest in Peace, Tony.

[@paulthomasunderwood]

Tony Bennett was born August 3, 1926. He was 38 years old in this recording.

[@nickbonvino]

A Leo!♌️

[@pinballevan]

Rest in peace, Tony Bennett

[@jenjenkins4676]

Tony was the best!!! ❤

[@jadezee6316]

Bennett...approaching his prime as a singer here...he would get much better when he started working with the bill evans of the music world....

[@brendashaw6548]

"Take Me in your Arms again" ......the reason I spent 62 years with the love of my life

[@Kbb1957]

Perfection in every way...

[@peasantsoul]

Bennett nails it-like always.

[@samchristie913]

[@Imotep.20]

LINDO

[@mariolagrasta9606]

il passaggio dalla voce alla tromba e alla sezione ritmica andrebbe insegnato ai giovani che intraprendono la carriera artistica...insegnare come?: ascoltandola un milione di volte

[@PepperPro1]

Buddy Hackett is exquisite on that horn.

[@wilmeraspajo9526]

MAESTRO Tony

[@lonestarfriend]

Excellent. And the sound is so good!

[@Loveman75PAW]

I've only heard Cagney's girlfriend on the Roaring Twenties sing this.

[@vmanfactor5]

Looks like this tape was played back on the wrong machine (lo-band tape on high-band player)
