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.

One of the best singers in history, period
This was one of several songs Jackie recorded that were based on classical and operatic melodies. "Alone At Last" is based on Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1. Earlier in 1960, Jackie scored the biggest hit of his career, "Night", based on an aria from the opera Samson & Delilah by Saint-Saens. Only an opera singer could handle these songs.
I like all kinds of music and often recognize classical melodies in popular music over the years. Do you know if Grieg's piano concerto in A Minor was ever used? It contains heavenly melodies.
@@FrantasticFrantasy Yes, Asia Minor by Kokomo. It's a rockin' instrumental that borrows from Grieg's piano concerto.
I know nothing about classical music beyond the popular ones. His first opening note made me think I was going to listen to opera. So powerful!
Shorly one of the best singers of that time such a powerful voice, we won't see the likes of him again 😢❤
That voice! If Jackie had lived a longer life, what joy he would have continued to bring through his talent.
when i was a young boy growing up, i absolutely loved jackie wilson, he became my mentor, and i copied his style of singing, with an operatic voice. by the way, jackie loved mario lanza, and he got his operatic voice from him. when jackie died, i was devastated, and took mario lanza as my mentor. i am now 79 years old, and really thank these great men for teaching me how to sing. god bless them both, and may they be happy in heaven, singing with the angels, for our lord. all the best, Louie Vaccaro, tenor, las vegas.
Back in the 50's I saw Jackie live at a travelling cavalcade of stars show. He was the first of 12 performers leading up to the headliner. He had to do 3 encores - nobody wanted him to stop singing. I don't remember most of the others - even the headliner. He was the greatest of all time.
Who were the headliners?
Lucky you, Jackie and Ben e King are my favourite
THE BEST EVER!! An operatic tenor
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard in my life.
never will there be another Jackie/
Jackie just dripped Class . And what a set of Pipes . I watched him sing "Lonely Teardrops" on some Show in the early 60s . And i have been a Fan since . I miss Variety Shows such as Ed's . So many Unknown Artists could gain National attention . And it was very entertaining for us .
jackie was in a class all by himself,he had an operatic voice which he got from his mentor, the great mario lanza. i use to sing all of jackies songs when i was a young boy growing up. jackie was my mentor, and he inspired me to become a singer. i am now 79years old, and retired. god bless you jackie, in heaven. you are dearly missed, and loved. Louie Vaccaro, tenor, las vegas.
the Incomparable Jackie Wilson!
magic, Jackie.....
Honestly….What happened to the Entertainers of today…..Jackie Wilson was Class….Talent and just phenomenal….Huge Fan of his!
Jackie Wilson sings Tchaikovsky. Great stuff!
I was wondering if anyone else noticed. :o)
@@harvardkarbodie ahh some of us actually are fans for over 40 years friend...
He had the voice of a very good opera singer. The way he can hold the highs is impressive, as is his powerful voice. Very good to hear some sixty years later.
The operatic Jackie! He had a big hit with "Night" and followed with this which was also in the top ten. Both lyrics were written by Johnny Lehmann with melodies based on classical arias by Saint-Saens and Tchaikovsky.
Wow never knew that . Big fan of Jackie and his dance moves
He was trained at Juilliard as a tenor!
Around this time Elvis did "Now or Never" which is really the operatic "O Solo Mio" and Roy Orbison used a high tenor voice in a lot of his hits. It was kind of a "thing" at the time.
@@KajiVocals no he wasn’t. His mentor and leader of the group he joined in 1953 Billy Ward was.
@@willhoward982 The info about it I got directly from Jackie’s grandson.
Jackie Wilson had no bad songs!!!! This guy was a pioneer and definitely one we will never forget. I’m no religious but thank you god for giving us Mr Excitement!
The greatest voice ever to come out of Detroit, bar none!
one of the greatest soul legends to have stood before a microphone..shame he is not mentioned more today on television! they don't make singers like this anymore. 60s soul music was something unique and cannot be replicated today. i cannot think of one modern day singer who compares to the likes of jackie, or sam cooke, or marvin gaye, or james brown, or ben e king, or gladys knight, tina turner, aretha franklin etc. music these days is BORING compared to 50s/60s soul/blues/jazz/r&b music.
SAD BUT TRUE SMH
Exactly 💯 💯
Y’all only acknowledge the real singers when they’re white. Avery Wilson can do all of this.
@@lancomenyongo7346 avery wilson is NO jackie wilson! i've listened to avery wilson just now. he sounds like so many other black male singers. if you want to hear a good black male singer listen to Ben E King.
@@Dion_Mustard Avery Wilson is a beast. You are tripping and in denial. Ben King is passed on. Y’all oldheads have to give the younger generation a chance. Avery comes the closest out of lot VOCALLY. Now Jackie’s stage presence and charisma will be hardest to replicate. I’m sure there are some unknown younger men who could play Jackie Wilson but we don’t elevate them. Just the mediocre ones.
I don't even think they've shown this on the Decades channel of Ed Sullivan classic repeats.
One serious talent, we need a full blown movie on him.
None of his contemporaries in the pop or R and B field would even attempt this type of performance.
What a voice
He thrilled me so, I turned a back-over flip. There will never be another Jackie.
Mr. Excitement!
What a Great singer Jackie Wilson was, he was able to sing very well, and he sings with emotion, this beautiful song.
Fantastic performance by Jackie! I really love his ballads based on famous classical melodies. I'd been hoping you would post this footage for awhile, as well as "Night" (which you posted earlier), "Hearts" and "Forever and a Day". Thank you so much for the great Jackie Wilson!
Omg he is incredible. No wonder the Commodores wrote a song to him.
The greatest voice I've heard, and I've been listening to music for quite a few decades.
A vocal showcase.
WOW,I never heard this song before. Jackie Wilson was one of a kind performer. RIP HANDSOME KING 🤴
Fantastic…such a voice !
Loved all his songs…
Otis and Jackie⭐️⭐️👍❤️
Beautiful and powerful voice. So underrated during that time.
jackie was never underrated,,,,,
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
No one and I mean better than Jackie. Saw him many times
We at High School agreed his voice was pne of the best, and this song was one of our favorites. We asked the local disk jockey at the radio station to play it for us.
Jackie was the man always together love 💕 you Jackie.Tammy
Man what a one of kind Legend ! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Wow!
This song seemed like it should have been the theme of some great classic movie. Love it.
What a beautiful voice.
Absolutely amazing!
So good. The song is another version of Tonight we Love. Brilliant!
They just don't make them like that anymore! A great talent!!!! RIP
Excellent voice.. it's so effortless! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Unmatched!
In one word AMAZING

F A B U L O U S!!!!
Love it. Reet Piteet was just incredible.
Fabulous.
Una maravillosa sorpresa encontrar a Jakie Wilson en esta cancion.
DESPERATELY NEED A DVD COMPILATION OF JACKIE WILSON ❤
I absolutely love his songs! He was a fantastic singer! It breaks my heart knowing how he suffered before he died !
The talent. The charisma. The vocal range. The control. The presence. The incomparable Jackie Wilson.
(What's up with the lyrics, though? Who kisses eyes, Johnny?)
I do..try it...
In 1966, Elvis told Jackie, ":There is no reason in the world why you're not the #1 singer in the world today". Nuff said?
Jeff Rense brought me here. Thank you, Jeff.
Wow!. Absolutely spectacular!👌
Excellence!
Fantástico.
He reminded me of a black Elvis, as a kid in the 50tys. Huge!
Jackie was out years before Elvis. His first recording was in late 1951. Elvis used to fly to Vegas in the 50s just to see Jackie with Billy Ward & The Dominoes. No doubt he borrowed a bit for his own stage presence and performance as well as vocally. Elvis called Jackie the greatest singer he ever heard and paid his medical bills after Jackie was institutionalized. Until Elvis died in 1977.
@@harrisdupree3323 thanks 4 sharing true insight story!
SENSACIONAL!
Nice! Wow!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Eternal
"I'll have some Butter pecan Sir!" 😊
Too bad they did not included the intro of Jackie & Ed talking before he sang the song.
Ed Sullivan was a great fan of his. Just wish Jackie's wasn't so explosive, he's still be with us. Suffered and lingered such a long time before he left us.
THAT SUMPTUOUS MELODY WAS WRITTEN BY PETER ILLYITCH TCHAIKOVSKY FOR THE BEGINNING OF HIS IMMORTAL PIANO
CONCERTO #1.
POP LYRICS WERE WRITTEN DECADES LATER FOR THIS VERSION, AND ANOTHER VERSION WITH DIFFERENT LYRICS THAT WAS RECORDED BY TONY MARTIN, CATERINA VALENTE AND OTHERS.
WHO DOESN'T GET CHILLS WHEN LISTENING TO THIS?
(GOOGLE NATALIE SCHWAMOVA, TCHAIKOVSKY PIANO CONCERTO #1 FOR ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCES EVER OF THE FIRST MOVEMENT OF THIS HEART-STIRRING
MASTERPIECE.)
NO ONE ON THE PLANET SINGS: *DANNY BOY* BETTER...

I hope you danced momma
They’d never allow a black male vocalist to shine like this anymore. There’s always a block placed in front of black men who sing this well.
Not at all, the Black music market is dominated by 'non-singing' Rap "artists". Easy $$$ for those who can't sing.
Bullshit! Don't try to play the Race Card up in here. These "Stars" today can't even pull their pants up. Look how this man is dressed and how he carries himself. Jackie was all CLASS. These suckers today can't even carry a tune and this man is SINGING LIVE!!
