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.

You can tell Ed REALLY Loved Duke Ellington

[@Johnnycdrums]

He loved the Count as well, if not more.

[@williamfeilhauer2667]

Cat Anderson on trumpet is incredible

[@Johnnycdrums]

He was way up there loud and clean, wasn't he?

[@williamfeilhauer2667]

@@Johnnycdrums I see your a drummer . I am too. Rufus Jones was dukes last drummer. His wmp double bass slingerland set is for sale with Rufus speedy Jones on one bass head. And Duke Ellington on the other. 17,000.00

@@williamfeilhauer2667 ; A collector will pay it, most likely.

1960s analog video editing is so primitive yet intriguing for whatever reason

[@joksal9108]

The music is more important than the editing.

[@lonestarfriend]

Wow! That trumpet player deserves some extra applause, at least! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@thomasbarreca6305]

That's Cat Anderson.

[@MarvelousMaxter]

William "Cat" Anderson holding the cleanest and meanest double F# i ever heard

[@standaman1963]

Now I see why Stevie Wonder recorded the song "Sir Duke" tribute to Duke Ellington. He and his band were top notch.

[@that70sgirl90]

That was Sensational!
Awesome sets... the colors make me think spring!
Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖

[@ericvanjames8395]

Yes, absolutely!!

[@lonestarfriend]

I like the use of geometry here. 😁

[@dave327ful]

More of an orchestra than you usually find on TH-cam!

[@PabloVestory]

Amazing! thank you!

[@TomElvisSmith]

Like with the Woody Herman video posted last week, Duke's band was also backing up Tony Bennett during this episode, and this was their solo number.

[@edufau815]

Duke 🎹 was the King!! 🗽🆒

[@jadezee6316]

Duke Ellington put together the greatest collection of skilled musicians ever assembled....however.....it was very rare that they would put much effort into performing with singers...Mel Torme learned the hard way.....however the one album Sinatra recorded with the Duke ...Francis A. & Edward K.....included one of his finest recordings ever... Indian Summer....helped along by an incredible solo from Johnny Hodges...."My God! That's unbelievable John"...was the greatest praise Sinatra who rarely spoke directly to the orchestra/band at recording sessions...would ever give a musician

[@Parallax09]

Pure talent ❤

[@stephanedubarry8624]

A classic so well mastered

[@GK-rw2op]

Rufis speedy Jones on drums

[@ciatangallaghe2485]

What jazz is meant to sound like

[@mLi75]

Would be great to see more of Ed's introductions, in addition to the performance. Like Brook Benton perhaps?

[@brotzmannsax]

RIP MAESTRO!

[@TexasTaxedToDeath]

1:03 I see musicians shop the toilet unstopper aisle at the local hardware store.

[@recordguy4321]

yeah, I've seen classier mutes...but they both work

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

Yeah, they don't only have to wear them as hats like you do.

[@spearson1793]

Watching the drummer I sense that he's not really playing, almost like the song is a recording, not live. Also, the song is cut short for TV. The "real" version is longer.

[@joksal9108]

Cat!

[@bh5606]

..terrrific..
