    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.

      That's so cool! I remember his name from our copy of Belafonte at Carnegie Hall! I loved that album! My dad fixed up a speaker outside from our indoor record player, and we played that album over and over again in the summer nights and danced to the music. I pored over that album cover so that's how I remember your uncle's name.
      RIP Mr. Belafonte. Now cracks a noble heart.

    Throughout my early childhood, my grandfather would always sing this song whenever he was driving my sister and I to spend a few days at his house. Keep in mind, this was during the early 2000s to mid 2010s, 50-60 years after this song first debuted. I think it was the first song that I ever got emotional about. He used to tell me that when I was really little, I’d cry when he said “I had to leave a little girl in Kingston Town”. Now that he has passed, this song is one of the ways of how I remember him the best.

    My dad passed away on 11th March 2023 after fighting multi organ disease for over 2 years. This was his favourite song.
    He was loving, kind and caring. He was very protective of our family and especially me and my brother. He added so much life and colour to our lives that it feels like an empty void without him. For the last 2 years, I saw his condition get worse and worse, with doctors saying that it was a terminal case. Slowly he lost his mental faculties, remembering little about himself or us. In one way, I’m happy that his suffering has come to an end, for no god loving man should be put through that ordeal. I hope god has taken his test and my dad has come out with flying colours, since he didn’t lose his faith and love for God till the very end. His last 3 hours were spent in the way he loved it most - Thanking God, thinking about his children, and laying in my mothers arms. “God is Great” was his favourite thing to say.
    You’re a lion dad, and your roar will forever reverberate in my heart. I’ll carry you everywhere I go, and your legacy shall never be forgotten.
    I’ll love you forever and always,
    Your loving son.
