Ed Sullivan opened up his heart to a new generation of musicians and comedians, even though he himself was already in his late 60's by the time these shows aired. He pushed boundaries by bringing on black artists and black soul onto the program. He blasted the Temptations, Supremes, Dionne, Sam & Dave, Tina Turner, Smokey Robinson, Four Tops, Glady's Knight into American homes in every region of the country, and gave controversial artists like Janis Joplin and Rolling Stones a mainstream platform and recognition to lift them into a prosperous career. At one point in time Ed Sullivan had his fingers on the heartbeat of America where everyone tuned in to hear and see the next cultural phenomena. It's amazing how much at his age he gave to the next generation of Americans. Truly a generous man he was.
Yes. He was older. His show was originally called "The Toast Of The Town" and had begun in 1948 in black-and-white film. Later on it became "The Ed Sullivan Show" and remained on the air until 1971. That was a 23 year long show. He passed on in 1974. He did even feature Elvis Presley early on, but the cameras would not show the pelvic movements, as that was controversial in the 1950s and he was referred to as "Elvis The Pelvis." As for the Rolling Stones, he did not let them do "Let's Spend The Night Together," as it was too suggestive. How times have changed.
Amen to everything you said he had the supremes on so frequently that one night as Mary Wilson said in an interview and I remember seeing him say it one he introduced the supremes by saying here they are the girls It took guts back then to challenge bigotry but going beyond race I loved the fact that young people got chance to see the legends from our parents day and they got a chance to see the performers that young people liked it sort of closed the generation gap a little bit Ed was a blessing
The Stones did sing that song on Sullivan, but they had to tweak the lyrics to Let’s Spend Some Time Together. Jagger being the economics grad he was obliged, but clearly rolled his eyes once while performing it. Doing the Stones to be on Sullivan multiple times. Contrast that with The Doors who refused to tweak Light My Fire. Outraged, Sullivan never had them on the show again.
I loved Dionne in the 60’s I had a favourite black and white singer, Petula Clark and Dionne Warwick, I used to be allowed to sit up late to see Ed Sullivan loved it.
So many memories of the instant this popped up on the TV and everybody ran through the house, yelling to get in the living room to see a black artist performing on Ed Sullivan's show.
Yes. You must be a fellow singer, as well to appreciate that making one's own interpretation of a hit song unique is always commendable. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Mrs Warwick sings "live" on this one and it's to me, the best performance ever! Now, this is a first class performance by a classy woman! I am still moved by this song, after all these years. Her voice is wonderful, the lyrics are beautiful and the music is perfect! I miss the '60s so much. Thank you, Dionne Warwick!
That dress!!🤩🤩🤩 I pity the young people of today.. we were inundated by the greatest singers, songwriters and musicians of all time as young people growing up in the 50s, 60s and 70s. The music was crisp and clean, no filth and the lyrics weren't challenging or boastful. The music made the journey as it took you from the beginning through the middle and straight to an end all the time full of beautiful violins, pianos and horns... today's music is sadly disposable paper..so few true legendary songs.
@@jeffreyshuster4482 I got to do it once, in 1970 as a young teenager with my parents, but from LA to San Fran. Hope you get to go once in your life, and hope I can get back there for a revisit!
Never heard this tune before, what a lovely performance. So glad to get to experience these moments from the iconic Ed Sullivan Show over half a century later!
@@bhodges00 Herb Albert did "This Guy's In Love With You," the male version. Dionne Warwick was one of many female singers to have done the female version and had a hit with that to add to her others. Herb Alpert is in his mid-80s and still active in the industry.
Dionne Warwick is celebrating her 81 birthday today, December 12, 2021 She was born in Orange, New Jersey on December 12, 1940. She is an American singer, television host, and former Goodwill Ambassador for the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Warwick ranks among the 40 biggest US hit makers between 1955 and 1999, based on her chart history on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles chart. She is one of the most-charted female vocalists of all time, with 56 of her singles making the Hot 100 between 1962 and 1998 (12 of them Top Ten), and 80 singles in total - either solo or collaboratively - making the Hot 100, R&B and/or adult contemporary charts
I'LL BE YOUR GUY ... the love of my life ... Dionne Warwick ... always makes me want to cry ... she is so beautiful ... with the best voice of all time. I LOVE DIONNE ... forever.
...'DIANA' Warwick!??? (0:16) ...Don't let Miss DIONNE hear THAT!! ...ha-HAAA!! ...Dionne's "cover" of the Herb Alpert smash, where it was one of the first earliest instances of a 'cover' matching the chart success of the original (Herb, #1 Pop in 1967, Dionne, #7 Pop in 1969)....LUV Dionne's 'Psychedelic Champagne' Dress...🤩
Many of Dionne Warwick sung songs were covers in the early years. "Alfie," for example, had been recorded by 42 others before she made it a hit in 1967. Cher had done the American movie version in 1966, by the way, while several other notables had recorded it before she did. She performed it at the 1967 Academy Awards, though, not Cher, as the Dionne Warwick version had soared up the charts.
On this day in 1969 {February 23rd} "This Girl's In Love With You" by Dionne Warwick peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Easy Listening chart, for the two weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for those two weeks was "I've Gotta Be Me" by Sammy Davis, Jr. "This Girl's In Love With You" reached #7 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Top 100 chart... Between 1963 and 1989 the Orange, New Jersey native had forty-five records on the Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary chart, twenty-seven made the Top 10 with four reaching #1... Nine of her forty-five charted records were duets; two with Jeffery Osborne and one each with The Spinners, Johnny Mathis, Luther Vandross, Glenn Jones, Barry Manilow, Kashif, and Howard Hewitt... Dionne Warwick, born Marie Dionne Warrick, celebrated her 80th birthday two months ago on December 12th, 2020... And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the remainder of the Easy Listening Top 10 on February 23rd, 1969: At #3. "You Gave Me A Mountain" by Frankie Laine #4. "Kum Ba Yah" by Tommy Leonetti #5. "Goodnight My Love" by Paul Anka #6. "Woman Helping Man" by The Vogues #7. "Let It Be Me" by Glen Campbell #8. "Johnny One Time" by Brenda Lee #9. "Glad She's A Woman" by Bobby Goldsboro #10. "A Minute of Your Time" by Tom Jones
Wow. One of the best things about Dionne is when she ad libs melody lines on the spot. So impressive, this vocal. Doesn't hurt her that she is a theory musician. Would love Dionne to post something of her playing piano and singing along with it, to You Tube. She's going back on tour in 2024 after winning the Kennedy Honor award. I saw her live in New Orleans decades ago, will never forget that. One of my favorite singers.
.... and look at this old guy.... watching this.... the notes and her voice throwing me back over the years.... willing or not.... there I go the memories bringing tears to my eyes ! God.. Those years were good..... The girl I ached so for way back then still sleeps in my bed... What a lucky man I am... I smile.... the years printing happy wrinkles across this old face. You remember !?
I had a tape or record of Dionne Warwick and liked every song in the Album. I was a real big fan of Dionne and often played the music which gave me enjoyment when playing. I guess Iiked the music of Burt Bacharach.
When she sings, I'm transported back to the 60's of my early childhood. My mind knows these songs because they were on the car radio, in the department stores, etc, but I wasn't aware, although I did know Dionne Warwick, she was ubiquitous.
She its truly so lovely n very very very smooth romantic n heavenly 😊LOVE her s so much FROM South OF Spain !!!lov ed sullivan.s shows n MUSIC here on Spain... greetings FROM South OF SPAIN!
I agree ed sullivan opened up America to black singers.America would never have heard this music. He took a big chance during an era that was so open to this variety if music.
I was alive in the sixties and heard the great vocalists of that time on the Supremes, Ed Sullivan and many other variety shows (they don’t really exist anymore) - any way, when looking back there is a sense of a high point that was never to be heard or seen again - we have so many billionaires who prefer to sit on their capital and not cultivate today’s unknown singers
In contrast to Shirley Bassey's appearance of Ed in Jan 1969 (2 months before) Dionne Warwick's performance here is BRILLIANT! Bassey sung Goin Out of My Head.
Ed Sullivan called Dionne Warwick "Diane" twice..., 👏😂 !!!
as a white guy named Kevin,
do you know how many times I've been called Calvin by black people?
never understood how this ignoramus hunch back became so popular
Close enough the love is there that's what counts

Beautiful dress.
I think that is a dress by the Italian designer Pucci who was famous for his brightly colored psychedelic patterns. Dionne was very fond of them
And hair 😍
Yes I want one.
Yes....very feminine
I was born in 1962. This is when i fell in love with Dionne Warwick .Calmness in my life .Because my house was chaotic .
Wow. That's the span of Dionne's entire recording career, is it not? Only saw her once in Oct 1999: sublime, stylish, elegant, poised.
Music is always a good escape!
I loved Dionne in the 60’s I had a favourite black and white singer, Petula Clark and Dionne Warwick, I used to be allowed to sit up late to see Ed Sullivan loved it.
Omg,, she’s amazing!!!!!

No riffs and unnecessary runs just singing ❤❤❤
I love this lady. She really took control of this song and effortlessly changed it up. If you sing, you know her level of talent. Wow 🤩
Yes. You must be a fellow singer, as well to appreciate that making one's own interpretation of a hit song unique is always commendable. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
I don't sing, but I have a great ear and I know good singing when I hear it. I totally agree with you.
This was written for HER , Herb Alpert covered it ,
She was born to sing🤔.
Less than 18 months after Herb Alpert’s smash hit with this song, Dionne’s version went to number 2!

Dionne is mesmerizing.
A beatiful black lady with a voice to die for
Terrific song of Burt Bacharach.
Dionne Warwick version, pure gold.
Pacific Coast Highway drive, from Santa Monica to Malibu...
I’m never gonna get to do that. All of a sudden I’m sad. Going to die without ever visiting California.

Great singer. Always enjoyed her music.

I think Herb Alpert wrote it too.

Dionne Warwick and Herb Alpert both did excellent versions of this song. Burt Bacharach wrote all her hits I believe.
Love Dionne...just pure talent
What a beautiful soul. I love the dress. My dad used to play this song on his Zenith Hi -Fi ....LOL
I saw her thing this song, almost 60 years after it being recorded, I just saw legend
Perfection.

Es de mis cantantes favoritas... Una voz preciosa y su interpretación exquisita. Fuera de serie.
Best rendition I've heard of my favourite Burt Bacharach song.
What a set of pipes she has.
I was alive in the sixties and heard the great vocalists of that time on the Supremes, Ed Sullivan and many other variety shows (they don’t really exist anymore) - any way, when looking back there is a sense of a high point that was never to be heard or seen again - we have so many billionaires who prefer to sit on their capital and not cultivate today’s unknown singers
I agree..A billionaire? That is the stupidest shit one human being can be...I would never die a old man with that type of money..
Had this song for my first dance at my wedding in ‘86.
Qué maravilla de mujer y su voz hermosa, gracias.❤🌹❤
What a beautiful song by a beautiful woman
Beautiful voice.
Excellent 👍
In contrast to Shirley Bassey's appearance of Ed in Jan 1969 (2 months before) Dionne Warwick's performance here is BRILLIANT! Bassey sung Goin Out of My Head.

Such a terribly fantastic dress.
