    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.

      You have to thank Paul Williams for that. When the temptations got together they really couldn't dance and Paul told them that if they are just singing on stage the fans might as well just buy the album to get the same result. If they come out to see you you have to entertain. And Paul was a smooth dancer too

Spent all of 5 minutes with them before we all went on stage to walk out in front of twenty thousand screaming chick's was high no drugs could give you.

      Actually, contrary to how the movie portrayed him, Paul was never drunk on their performances. This has been said by Otis and Dennis themselves. This was at the time his Sickle Cell disease was getting worse and he had a hard time performing at times. He had ventilators backstage because his episodes would make him lose breath easily. Alcohol was the only way he could calm his Sickle Cell pain as there wasn't any treatment for it back then. And pain pills bloated him to where he couldn't do much. I encourage you to read a little about Paul because he was an amazing guy who got his legacy tarnished by The Temptations movie.
