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.

We lost one of the classiest gentlemen today. 😢 A true entertainer for people. Never, never, never be another like him. I tip my hat.

[@thewind7113]

The melody was taken from a Russian opera "Knyaz Igor" (Князь Игорь). There is a part "Uletai na kryl'yakh vetra. Pokovetskie plyaski" (Улетай на крыльях ветра. Половецкие пляски) - Fly away by wings of wind

[@ГавриилСамурганов]

Thank you for mentioning the roots 🤝

Don't forget the roots! Good adoptation, but don't forget the original opera is " Knaz' Igor' " by Russian composer Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin !

[@michaeltuz608]

One of the best pop music adaptations of classical music -- in this case a melody by Alexander Borodin. Tony Bennett is at his best here as well with this chart topper. Thanks for posting!

[@johnd7707]

One of the greatest artists of all time. He brought happiness and solace to the hearts of many. May God bless him as he enters the divine kingdom.

[@alexandervesty4242]

Have many childhood memories of listening to this incredible song with my grandmother, who passed within the same year as Mr. Bennett at 95 years old. I am thankful for the long, fulfilling life they both had. Tony was and continues to be a true American treasure. RIP, we love you!

Это тема из оперы «Князь Игорь» русского композитора А. П. Бородина. Мелодия называется "Половецкие пляски".

Верно, она была написана еще в 19в

RIP Mr Bennett. Thanks for such beautiful music😢😢

[@tuxguys]

Performed at the time he had the actual hit with this... ...and introduced by the original, the model for the character in "Pulp Fiction" that my students call "that weird-looking guy in the nightclub scene." Look at Bennett's body language, the easy physicality which accompanies his effortless, flawless singing, getting the message of the lyric across perfectly, all alone on that darkened stage. (Try to imagine John Mayer doing this: It's a non-starter.) This is valuable, for so many reasons.

Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting this! "Stranger in Paradise" charted at number 2 on the Billboard chart for Tony around the time of this performance. This is from the same episode on which Tony sang a medley of hits, posted earlier, which was great too. I hope someday you may also post his first appearance singing "Because of You" which I've also never seen. Thank you again!

YOU BETTER SANG, TONY...

[@ronrice1931]

I think mainly what makes him so good is his effortless ability to hit the notes. He is never sharp or flat, even on the first few notes of a song. I would rather that he sang a little less 'behind the beat' and more straight ahead rythymically, but it is worth it to hear him caress each note with perfect intonation.

[@constable144]

Interesting, I love this performance but in the 1960s, the magazine, "Melody Maker" faulted Tony Bennett's singing for his inability to hold a sustained note in tune. I can't say that I have ever noted this fault

[@ronrice1931]

@@constable144 That's interesting. He's certainly not what I'd call a strong singer, he is not known for his sustains, but his intonation seems flawless to me as well.

[@volokovrodoleg]

Данная песня это плагиат из из лирико-эпической оперы "Князь Игорь" русского композитора Александра Бородина - Хор невольниц - "Улетай на крыльях ветра". Сочинялась 18 лет, после смерти композитора завершена и отредактирова русскими композиторами Ри́мским-Ко́рсаковым Никола́ем Андре́евичем и Глазуно́вым Алекса́ндром Константи́новичем, 1869-1887) Источником для либретто, написанного самим автором при участии В.В. Стасова, послужил памятник древнерусской литературы 12 века «Слово о полку Игореве», рассказывающий о неудачном походе русского князя Игоря против половцев. Справка: Бороди́н Алекса́ндр Порфи́рьевич (родился 31.10.(12.11).1833, г.Санкт-Петербург, Российская империя - умер 15 (27).02.1887, там же) - русский композитор, яркий представитель музыкального романтизма пореформенной эпохи. Улетай на крыльях ветра "Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели Где было так привольно нам с тобою Там, под знойным небом Негой воздух полон Там под кровом моря Дремлют горы в облаках Там так ярко солнце светит Родные горы светом заливая В долинах пышно розы расцветают И соловьи поют в лесах зелёных Там, под знойным небом Негой воздух полон Там под кровом моря Дремлют горы в облаках Улетай! Улетай! Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели Где было так привольно нам с тобою Улетай на крыльях ветра Ты в край родной, родная песня наша Туда, где мы тебя свободно пели Где было так привольно нам с тобою..."
