    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.

    In 1975 Jackie Wilson had a heart attack while performing on stage at a small theater in NJ. He collapsed into a coma suffering severe brain damage. When Elvis learned of this he immediately sent a check to pay for Jackie’s hospital expenses and medical bills.

      Not true, but Elvis and Jackie admired each other. I know from someone who was at the hospital that Elvis sent a dozens of pale-colored roses to Jackie’s bedside when Jackie was shot at the height of his career. One of the bullets was too close to his spine for surgeons to remove, and Jackie, who lost a kidney, lived with that bullet for the rest of his life.

Rudy would sing a medley of Jackie's songs, UN-BELIEVABLE, I thought it was Jackie himself. What a voice, it and he will live forever, thanks for the post......

    On this day in 1962 {January 21st} Jackie Wilson performed "That's Why (I Love You So)" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
    Three years earlier later on March 23rd, 1959 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #13 and also spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...
    Sadly exactly 22 years later on this day in 1984 Jackie Wilson passed away at the young age of 49...

Watch Jackie move... he was a lot like Elvis, but I bet these performers were held back in their moves by the producers in their time. But Jackie and the rest of these artists will go on forever in memory and in their music.

The culturally defining pantheon of American musical talent of mid to late 50s and 60s were truly amazing. A bit before my time but Jackie Wilson is clearly among the stars that continue to shine brightly in the constellation of America’s and the World’s rock-n-roll great legends!

    I was over the moon... And I would listen to his records and just stare at his pictures on the cover... Soon I was told that he had infact passed years before... I WAS DEVASTATED!!!!!! I didn't understand that wasn't a contemporary at the time because his music was so timeless.... I mean I cried and morned him!!!! He was my first love... Oh My Gosh!!! So watching this now bought back all of those feelings... Omggg I still swoon... That is why.... I love him So... What a Sensation.

      We are looking at these artists in retrospect. This was considered hardcore rock and roll and many thought that this was vulgar during its time. In the age of formation, you have to dig deeper than what big record labels present to you in mainstream media. They have complete control. It's all about marketing/money.

    Wow! He did all that in less than 2 minutes!!!
    I was young, now I am learning about the greats such as Jackie Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke, and so many others.
    I can appreciate their talents now.
    This video is fantastic

    I can't believe this was in 1962 because this song was from early 1959, there's no way he'd sing a three-year-old song on Ed Sullivan.

    Jackie Wilson was the model for all single, male performers, including JB, EP, PB & MJ.
