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.

As a Connecticut native and a fan of sixties folk music, I was thrilled to see this clip of The Highwaymen doing the rollocking Boer War patriotic tune. These fellows began singing together when they attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, Ct in the late fifties, and in the first few years of the eixties had some success as recording artists... most famously with Michael, Row the Boat Ashore.
Thanks for sharing this terrific performance!
I have this album! It belonged to my parents, but I always liked every song on it, so it ended up with me. Still listen to it on occasion.
Used to sing this in grade school.
So did we, but we were Black kids, and this song was sung by South Africa Boers and British troops fighting them. Boers were essential folk of eventual apartheid, and this song envisions that. So why were us urban Black kids singing it in the '60s? I don't know, but after tge '67 riots, it was never taught in our schools again.
So we're we in the mid 70's as well. Black kids in a southern school system... The early days of majority to minority transfer! Didn't know any better. Should have stood up with the black power salute and started singing Lift Every Voice and Sing.
@@esobed1 Yeah.....THAT would've freaked those muthafukas out 😂😂
I also learned this song growing up in a Black elementary school in Ohio in the 60s...go figure 😮
We used to sing this in Mr. Blaylock's fourth grade class; thanks for posting this!
A gem . I want some more please .Thank you so much !
I believe the Smothers Brothers also performed this song about 10years later on their variety show. That may have been the first time I saw it on tv.
Wow...I was only days old when this first broadcasted!!
I was 2 months old.
Here's to 1964! 😄
Hope you and the family are doing well! 😊
@@that70sgirl90 U Betcha...1964 Rules!!
@ 👍🏻
Remember this group from ca. 1964/64 with Michael Rowcthe Biat Ashore"..when I was 13 or 14...
Some nice looking men with some nice harmony... let's march along!
Hurrah... Happy Friday! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Yes we will.
One of these guys is Tim Robbins' dad - I think it's the one on the far left holding the bass(?) guitar.
It's called a (Mexican) guitarron.
Yes it is - Gil Robbins.
Pretty cool folk sing-a-long song from the group who had the huge hit with "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore" (posted earlier). Thank you!
Is anyone else here because of Richard Bachman's (Stephen King) story "The Long Walk"?
Yes 😁
💗💫
Is the gentleman on the left playing a Guitarrón?
Great tavern song. The guy on the left looks much older.

❤ Hallelujahs 🎉
The Boer War was long over by this time.
We used to sing this in summer church cap. What the heck is it about?
@sagrammyfour War. Specifically, a rousing and uplifting British marching song celebrating slaughter and imperialism in South Africa during the Boer War. Their Dutch enemies were arguably even nastier.
...oops i've lost track on Johnny Cash Buddies on these superb Concerts "Highway Man" back in the early 90's, but the rare Video-Clip is very nice for sure for the groups name only ...😉
In my elementary school in Newark, NJ, teachers had us singing this song as 4th graders, in the 60's. Us Black kids singing a song that racist-assed South Africans sang when apartheid was putting it's boot on the necks of Black South Africans. Why would our teachers do that? Were they trying to teach the apartheid system in urban New Jersey USA? I don't know, but I DO know that soon, the '67 riots broke out across the country, and many of those White teachers left our schools & never came back. The song was never heard again.
We sang this song in Jersey City too.
the type of mediocrity that the people have always flocked to...and in the case of early tv....without much choice
Wow you’ve a limited mind, you’re very special😂. Narrow minded🧠⬇️
Those were the days you could actually hear the words, great harmonies and catchy tunes.
