    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.

      The Ed Sullivan show was likely remastered at some point from the original tapes, the crazy thing is they could probably get this kind of clarity out of all kinds of tapes that exist if they get to them in time, all these blurry bleary videos on youtube are just copies of some old vhs tape somebody made off t.v., the original film that the production company actually used are likely as clear as this Ed Sullivan show if they haven't been destroyed lost or neglected. We really need to push for as much of this stuff to be preserved as possible because once those tapes are deteriorated we will lose priceless performances that people will want to watch 100's of years from now. This is epic one of a kind, once in a lifetime stuff. There will never be a time when people don't want to look back and watch the Supremes.

    2:00 I understand now how the earring catch went so flawlessly... When she's dancing, the earring from her right ear falls, she catches it in the pit of her elbow that is holding the mic, and then finally drops it into her hand as it swings by. That's literally as smooth as it gets, you had to be paying really close attention to catch it live.

    A massive trove of digitally restored clips from “The Ed Sullivan Show” will arrive online during the next three years, reviving more than 10,000 long-buried performances and guest appearances from the iconic variety show.
    The global streaming project launches today with seven clips on TH-cam and other platforms - a Motown-dominated batch of videos that includes performances by Diana Ross & the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5 and Temptations and Gladys Knight & the Pips.
    They’re the tip of a cultural iceberg contained in the “Ed Sullivan Show” archives: The Sunday night program ran from 1948 through 1971 on CBS, piping the rock ‘ n’ roll revolution, Hollywood glitz and Detroit’s Motown sparkle into American living rooms alongside Broadway, opera, vaudeville, comedy and novelty acts.

      Young people often don't understand how huge shows like Ed Sullivan and Tonight Show in its Here's Johnny heyday were. Closest thing today would be Super Bowl where a huge percentage of the population was watching the same show only it was every Sunday night for Sullivan show. A new group getting on was priceless.

    This video should be included in any professional course in showmanship. All three girls are flawless. Florence was happy and on fire (which was rare considering her mood swings), Mary gorgeous and in sync as always, Diana the epitome of an entertainer at such a young age with her incomparable charisma, the earring drop and then just discarding it at the end of the song is nothing short of mesmerizing. True talent never to be repeated. Cindy Birdsong filled in nicely after Flo's departure. Love me some Supremes!

      ​@@mic6434 And proof is in media coverage of Mary's passing that it wasn't just about Diana. When you have a loving tribute in the NY Times, several minutes devoted to her on all 3 major networks (morning and night broadcasts), every cable channel, coverage in every major and local newspaper, every local TV station, media around the world, it renders the argument moot as to whom was the favorite. Fans fell in love with all 3 women. Nowhere this week did any reporter, commentator, or anchor reference "Diana Ross & The Supremes" they said Mary Wilson of The Supremes and called Diana her bandmate. Mary finally got the respect she deserved. Nobody and I mean nobody talked about Diana Ross in the way they talked about Mary this week. They treated Mary first among equals. RIP Miss Mary Wilson. Thank you for the music.
