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.

Briefly visible as the backdrop is "Rotonde Montparnas". The "Café de la Rotonde", founded in 1911, is a famous restaurant in Paris. Montparnasse is a neighborhood of the city. The Café was famous for artists like Picasso who lived in the area and were patrons of the "brasserie".

Thank you for operatic soprano Dorothy Kirsten! Please also upload operatic tenor Jan Peerce who was also on this episode. I don't know what he sang, but I'm sure it would be fantastic!

Jack Benny once said he got one of the biggest laughs on an episode of the Jack Benny Program with Dorothy Kirsten as the guest. When she was introduced - Don Wilson, the intellectual of the group - begins a long, esoteric discussion about music. Jack (the "musical expert") is quiet while this goes along, but you know his ego is seething. Finally, he starts "Well, I thought ...." and Mary Livingstone snaps, "Oh shut up!!"
According to Jack, this got a thirty second laugh. Mostly because, as he commented many times, you KNOW the characters - Don the intellectual, Jack the fool, and Mary the smartass - and you KNOW that Jack HAD to butt into the conversation sooner or later. And Mary would slam him down in a second.
I don't think the laugh was THAT long, but you gotta love it.

One of my favorite Gershwin compositions. 42 years after this performance Kate Bush would record a version for a tribute album and it reached the top 30 on the UK chart.
