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.

Smokey Robinson is such a beautiful man, the ladies must've flocked not only for his eyes, but also his silky smooth voice.
Yeah Smokey retained his good looks for a long long time also. And one of Motown's best writers .
He is a Beautiful Man
That Voice...smh 💙
Those green "I"s...
I hear that he is gay, so no ladies. Beautiful voice though. Track of my tears is my favorite
@@Equality-and-Liberty he's not gay stop tearing down our heroes with your new age nonsense. Everybody is not gay.
@@malachirobinson7323I don’t agree Smokey is gay but saying somebody is gay is not tearing anyone down and being gay is not “new age”. Gay people been existed since the back in the days Sylvester, Jermaine stewart, Luther vandross and George Michael for an example…..just wasn’t out in the open like today.
I was 22 days old on this day...Now almost 53... Thank God to have lived in this window of time to hear truly gifted artists like Smokey, The righteous brothers, The Platters, Sam Cooke .
like the music but i always connect it to the jim crow era , caucasians have the privileged of liking the music without thinking Smokey couldn't even use the bathroom in the venue where he sang this.
Your math ain’t mathing
This would also be the day the President Lyndon Johnson declared that he would not run for re-election.
Wow oh wow! This is mind blowing. He truly had the voice of an angel. The harmonies are just divine. What a beautiful version of this gorgeous song
So smooth, so on pitch, so sweet. A wonderful, timeless performance with nothing more or less than perfection. Bravo.
They should place this video and say to those years from now, “This was the best of us. One of Motown’s legendary groups paying homage to a great British band.” I get numb listening to this. Smokey’s voice is a gift from God, and I’m so grateful that he has shared this with millions of people. These are artists in the truest definition of the word.
My lord , he is stunning.. still is today
This is one of the few Beatles covers I think stands up to the original. Only Smokey Robinson and the Miracles could pull something like that off.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, was Mr. Marvin Tarplin on guitar.
Na voz deles eu acho que ficou melhor do que na dos Beatles.
Yes, overall he was the "Sixth" Miracle after Smokey's Former Wife Claudette. He first met Smokey when Diana Ross cajoled Smokey into getting her Group then known as The Primettes an audition. He heard them and said they "looked" better than they "sounded" but he loved Marv. He asked the Girls if he could take Marv on tour with him and he'd set up an audition. They said Yes and Marv was with Smokey until the day he died and co wrote some of The Miracles Songs. He was also seen in The T.A.M.I Show. Marv was lucky he was taken care of unlike The Funk Brothers. It was so beautiful they did their Version of "Yesterday" which is now next to "My Way" written by Paul Anka the most covered son gin Music. The Beatles as you know did "their" version of "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", and alot of UK Artists covered Motown Songs. In the 1960's they did a Tribute Album called Motown Sings The Beatles.
Thanks I immediately noticed that Guitarist was about 40 years ahead of his time - totally badass harmonically expanded with more Soul than Jazz normally has ....great !
PlaybyplayMedia- what a great great guitarist - how was he not famous ?
@@robertscorpio8432 Marvin Tarplin did not seek the limelight. His own website describes him as a "quiet, self-effacing man".
The smooth, wonderful sounds of Smokey Robinson. The great harmonizing of the Miracles, and the incomparable Marvin Tarplin. Awesome performance, Motown put out some incredibly excellent artists.
Incredible! I got the opportunity to meet Smokey in December 2019. I'll never forget it.
Tarplin playing the hell out that guitar. RIP Marvin Tarplin, Ronnie White, Pete Moore & Bobby Rogers
I am very impressed that you recognize the brilliance of his Guitar playing - that guy was really under the radar ...especially for his talent level ! I wish I would have heard him when I was much younger - that was one under the radar Guitar Genius right there .
@robertscorpio8432 Berry Gordy had some od the finest talent in musicians ever. They were incredible. I was born in the late 60s but my parents had albums I couldn't get enough of. Music at its best.
@@robertscorpio8432 live how Tarplin was featured here for TV 😊
Just beautifully rendered. State of the art.
Oh my. Did not know Smokey covered this. Bet Paul was well pleased. Beautiful take.
Thank you, Ed Sullivan TH-cam channel! I’m so
grateful for these epic performances! ❤️❤️❤️
i hope this version gets released on cd. this is my favourite version.
they beyond captured the authenticity of this song, parallel to the orginal. although very different, it's still the most soulful parallel interpretation I've heard.
Beatles song-writing was awesome. They didn't have the pipes that Smokey has (who does?) but they did a great job with what they had to work with.
What a version !!
Just as beautiful today, as it was “yesterday”! Talking about a “smooth operator”, love me some Smokey!
Oh heck yeah. This what ya call music. Just Beautiful and amazing ♥️♥️ thanks for sharing
Smokey is beautiful
The quality is so damn good for a 1968 video
45 now ,and I'm glad to still like this music ,thanks to the OGs in my neighborhood.
Love This Song!!
Just heard this only a few days ago, over 53 years after it aired. I wonder if someone paid to keep their version out of circulation. This is could stand alone by itself.
Smokey Robinson, you are the best!!!
oldies but goldies forever!! 🥰❤️
I wasn’t even born until the mid 80s but I love this music
And you my dear know good music.
Same Here 85
Smokey is the world's best.
what a reciprocated honour , as the Beatles recorded You really got a hold on me
So beautiful......
Geesh...his voice. Good gawd..
Nice soulful singing by the talanted Smokey Robinson 🙂
This is Stunning 💕
Happy Birthday Smokey ❤ you are my favorite singer.
this is a great version of "yesterday. i hope this song gets released on cd. maybe on a greatest hits or rarities album. or maybe an ed sullivan cd.
Listen to Smokey singing And I Love Her (Beatles cover). Equally as beautiful. Smokey Robinson is by far my favourite Motown singer next to Levi Stubbs.
Smokey and the Beatles were mutual admirers ! They covered his songs then Smokey covered theirs .
Dope beyond words!
A lot said about the great Smokey. (Harrison wrote a song about him, Pure Smokey)
Marv Tarplin was awesome. Beatles liked some covers. My guess, they LOVED this one. Such effortless playing. Wish I had hands like that! Smooth as silk. Thanks for posting.
Go head Smokey! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i never saw Marvin Tarplin but knew he was on a lot of The Miracles music...Thank You!
He was also a major part of
Smokey’s solo career.
He was the best.
Marv also accompanied Smokey and the Miracles on The T.A.M.I. Show and can be seen on camera.
The best version
The Beatles covered one of his songs. He was grateful enough to return the favor.
Beautiful
whoa that was awesome 👏👏👏, I always listen to his "just losing you" & "being with you" two of his many classics.
Just losing you is awesome not many people are aware that's all. Check out Christmas Lullaby by The Miracles
He was also an incredible songwriter. SMOKIE!!!
Amazing
Leon Bridges looks just like Marvin Tarplin, amazing performance my first time seeing The Miracles perform on Ed Sullivan
He's a handsome gorgeous man
1:25 and 2:16 my favourite part
Wow!
💛
To the very best of the best a great tune by all
EU AMO ESSA CANÇÃO NA VOZ DE SMOKEY ROBINSON ❤😍
I LOVED
Wow
nice video bro
I really nees to know that is that guitar that Marvin Tarplin is using...and everything there is to know about that sound he is making
THANK YOU 2022...
Aired March 31, 1968.
This would also be the day the President Lyndon Johnson declared that he would not run for re-election.
I wonder: Would this have aired before or after the President’s speech that day, and if after, was it delayed?
😍
You can find this song and many others at www.gouweouwemuziek.nl!
Hi
mmm smokey was super fine. i wanna kiss him
Yes. He and Claudette made the cutest couple!
That wasn’t cool that Ed just brought Smokey at the end. The name of the group is Smokey Robinson and the Miracles! Geez.
Quand ça tourne comme ça... il ne reste qu à regarder le ciel et prier.
Pauls favorite version .
He probably had all the girls after him
😘💕🌞❤🌈😇😍🥳
This is not a cover. It is the original version. The Beatles made a replica.
1:34
Beautiful rendition of Paul McCartney’s song. Yesterday❤️
As pretty as it gets...
Black artistes certainly got lots of air time with Ed. 50s-70s top black acts then rap. Was Ed Sullivan a chat show? Can't see no chat.
Who needs autotune when ya know how to sing?!
Exactly! When you can actually sing, you don't need autotune, computers, or artificiality to hit the notes, bend them, slide up and down the scale, and make music that can transport the spirit.
Young berg
Guitar was the best part of this performance
The guy on the guitar gotta be Black Youngsta's granddaddy!!
You got bots on here.
Big Smokey fan. I don’t think this is as good as original McCartney, maybe because it’s slower.
All he needs is a beatle wig
Smokey is an incomparable singer and songwriter, but this was just bad. Way too slow, drawn out and all over the place. McCartney's original will always stand as the pinnacle of perfection.
No not gay?!?!?
Does it really matter?
the beatles sang it better
They should have-it was their song...but this isn’t bad
Eric Sinsara so do you sing it better than Smokey?😂😂😂😂😂😂
And Marvin sang it better than anyone
Eric Sinsara..... FAKE NEWS!!!!
This isn't a competition lol jis enjoy...yes I prefer Paul McCartney on this song..... but this may be the best cover of it I have heard.
Wow!
As pretty as it gets...
