    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.

    Others might have mentioned this already, but this was the song he was performing when he suffered the heart attack that would eventually end his life. He was performing at the Latin Casino in my home town of Cherry Hill NJ in September of 1975. On the line "My heart is crying, crying" he touched his heart, as he always did in this part of the song, and collapsed on stage. People at first thought it was part of his stage act. God rest his soul. We lost a great talent way too soon at age 49.

      @Mac Fields Yes, he was quite a remarkable talent. What a voice! There are several books about his life and music out there. His life was somewhat unorthodox, to say the least. He left a trail of women and children-- this led to a battle over his estate and who was going to have the power of attorney to direct his medical decisions. I had always wondered why he was never transferred out of the NJ nursing home back to his home area of Detroit, and this is the reason. A lot of legal wrangling.

Whenever we visited a night club in the Pacific, I imitated his dancing style and everybody else in the club would stop to watch me and the girl I with dance. Jackie Wilson was truly a great inspiration to me and many others. RIP Jackie.

    If I recall correctly, this was something of a comeback performance for Jackie in '62. Apparently, he received a near fatal knife stab from an ex-girlfriend about year earlier. He was on the mend for a few months, but man, did he rebound! Went on to do a great live album around the time this episode aired. This very performance was even featured in a BEST OF VHS collection back in the late 90's. I should know, I had that set from TIME-LIFE Home Video before switching to DVDs by 2003.

      Jackie Wilson received vocal training from Billy Ward after he joined Billy Ward & the Dominoes. If you compare Jackie's earliest recordings to those he made after joining the Dominoes, you'll see the difference. Ward wasn't a great singer himself, but he was classically trained and knew how to get the most out of Jackie's immense talent.

    Saw him in 1975 on what would be his final tour of the UK. It was a young crowd as he'd had some recent chart success over here with ' I Get the Sweetest Feeling'. He was a force of nature on stage and I'll always remember that night and shaking his hand. Sadly many of the young audience didn't know his earlier hits and didn't really respond to his performance. It wasn't many weeks after when he collapsed on stage back in the USA and we lost one of the greatest of all time. For me, as a 17 year old fan it was a privilege to have seen him perform and shake his hand.

    My absolute favorite singer. I fell in love with song as a little girl and it still my favorite song ever. I can’t believe a little girl born in 92 fell in love with this song so much I cried when I realized he was dead. I like the slower version better. Where he dances and dropped down and levetates back up! But I love watching as many clips of him possible.

      Elvis did not "help" Jackie "at his beginning". Elvis saw Jackie in LA in 1966 at a club called "The Trip". By then, Jackie had already had 43 hits on Billboard Charts, including 5 number "1" R&B records. Jackie signed at Brunswick Records in 1957 with his first hit, "Reel Petite". Prior to that, he had hit recordings as the lead singer of "The Dominos".

      @@PutOnASweater Elvis did me a nice favour once. I was in Hollywood, California, playing a club called The Trip and we were having a little difficulty getting people to come out at that particular time. So he came out twice for me and, well, you couldn't get in. They said if Elvis goes, well ... hey, let's go'
