    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.

    "Scarlet Ribbons'" was composed by my late great aunt, Evelyn Danzig Levine, who was good friends with Harry. The song was written in my aunt's living room in Port Washington, Long Island with lyricist Jack Segal.

      Love this song, it's choking me up right now. My mother played her Martin guitar and sang it to me when I was very tiny. We had lots of Belafonte albums in our home as well. I had the honor of meeting him at Rider University where my nephew had invited him to be a guest speaker. I had a chance at age 65 to tell him how much I appreciated his music, acting, civil rights activism. Even got to have a bite to eat with him. A beautiful memory for me. Thank you for this beautiful piece of music and letting us know of it's history and connection to you..

      Your great aunt was very talented; it's a very beautiful song. And so heartfelt and thoughtful.
      Classically beautiful melody, not unlike some of the art songs of Mendelssohn and Schubert.

    The first time I heard this song was in the subway in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. A street performer i used to see occasionally was singing it and playing on his guitar. I hadn't heard Harry Belafonte's original. But this man's voice was so clean and beautiful i wasn't the least bit surprised when I finally learned where it came from. Mr. Belafonte was clearly an inspiration to this fellow. I bought his tape and often sang it to my daughter as a baby.

      ​@mreis221
      In 1964, there was no such thing as shirt mics.
      There would only have been a very visible mic stand.
      So I'm 100% certain it's mimed because that's what they had to do back then.
      I'm 61 and grew up watching Top of the Pops.
      Almost every performance was mimed because the sound wasn't good enough for live performances on TV.
      You can always hear the difference.
