    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.

      Susan reconciled with their dad after mom Barbara died, not glossing over what he had done, but he apparently had taken stock of his life, stopped drinking and tried to rebuild a relationship with the kids, with varying degrees of success. Susan came to understand that he came from a broken life, and understood why he brought that broken life into their family--again not excusing it, but understanding the root of it. Paul has never forgiven either dad or mom even decades after their deaths--both Bud and Barbara were alcoholics. Paul went so far to say (paraphrasing) that if after he dies he has to sit in heaven at a table with his mom and dad, he doesn't want to go.

He said his oldest brother was total music genius on par with Brian Wilson. Nothing like family harmony, they could all sing great. I never heard of them before I met him. Little before my time. He did play me his cassette of an album he was working on. Very cool charming dude.

    Ed Sullivan had so many wonderful singers and performers. My mother especially like the Cowsills and I really didn't realize how good they were. We were lucky to have such wonderful talent on our TV and concerts in 1967.

    I never get tired of seeing this wonderful "Live" video segment of my favorite family band. Barbara was a lovely lady. The kids, well, they are just the epitome of groovy!
    I grew up listening to this awesome family.
    Too bad their father gave them such a hard time. He was a real monster by all accounts.

    hard to imagine these kids who seem so happy singing Christmas songs, went home to get punched in the face every day. Mom let it all happen. She never reported the little girl being sexually abused by their dad. Horrible!

    I think this is the first/only Cowsills performance I've seen that features John on vox. He does wonderfully (yes, I know this is mimed over a prerecorded track). But why isn't Paul in this performance?

    Excellent. Was living at Myrtle Beach AFB during that 1967 Christmas. What a treasure, I think I may have seen this show back then, heart warming 60's sentiments. America will never see days like this again.

    Looking at all these old Ed Sullivan's makes me realize that Karen Carpenter could have been a Cowsill. She had the same look and talent.
