tv shows part 2 Ed Sullivan

I know not all the links may not work, but most will....

The Ed Sullivan show, ran under various names from 1948-1971. A 'typical' show went something like this:

"Somehow, Sullivan still seemed to fit the show; he appeared to the audience as an average guy who brought the great acts of show business to their home televisions. ("He will last," comedian and frequent guest Alan King was quoted as saying, "as long as someone else has talent.") He had a newspaperman's instinct for what the public wanted, and programmed his variety hours with remarkable balance. There was something for everyone. A typical show would feature a vaudeville act (acrobats, jugglers, magicians, etc.), one or two popular comedians, a singing star, a hot jukebox favorite, a figure from the legitimate theater, and for the kids, a visit with puppet "Topo Gigio, the little Italian mouse." The bill was often international in scope, with many European performers augmenting the American artists."
'Hot' jukebox favorites is a bit of an understatement. Again, this was back in the days of AM radio, and top 40 fave shows, so the musical talent was about as varied and up to date (at the time) as you could have hoped for. I remember watching shows with my family, to include grandparents at time, it had something for everyone in it. We used to love seeing the different groups and how they dressed, we just thought that was because they were performers, had no idea that people not in the midwest dressed that way day to day!
Here are just some of the bands and singers that appeared over the years. A few became sorta familiar to the general public.
The Beatles (you younger readers, don't be scared, the clip is in something that we called 'black and white' tv, it's supposed to be like that)
