    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.

    Another masterpiece by Bacharach/David and the right singer to sing it. BJ Thomas had some hits before this, but what he does with this song is simply magical. I loved this song as a youngster and I still love listening it today more than 50 years after its release. Thanks for the great music and memories, BJ Thomas, Burt Bacharach and Hal David...

    RIP BJ Thomas. I wish I got to see you live when you were alive, but this is the best I can do really. Btw I love it when they perform the whole song front to back with a lot of these “live” performances. When they cut out a verse or two it usually isn’t worth watching.

    That's funny, wherever he goes, the cloud goes with him! I remember this song so well, I was three or so when it came out and in the mall of the apartment building I lived in they would play this song on the sound system. This one and 'Up, Up and Away, in My Beautiful Balloon', which came out contemporaneously. I also remember, 'Those Were the Days, My Friend", for similar reasons. It's funny the things one remembers from one's youth.

    This reminds me of the end of 6th grade, when students were required to come up with some sort of 'talent' act for music class at my school. Two girls did an umbrella duet routine to this song, and one of them became an officer in the high school drill team 6 years later. They may have been inspired by this show which aired about 4 months earlier, and may have even lifted some of the same dance moves.
