    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.

My life's soundtrack was forged IN FIRE during those years, and that same soundtrack is still my go-to comfort food! Oh, I've added many gems to it from the '70s to the 21st century, but check it out, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Stones(still touring 60 years), Led Zepplin, Eric Clapton, anything from Motown -fuck, the list goes on and on- All as relevant today as they were back when!!

      I believe a lot of the effects and switches were filmed earlier. When Ed introduced the band, he told the audience they had to watch the monitor to see the special effects. It was definitely backing track but not sure if John's vocals were live.

      I was just thinking about this, I think the groups are somewhat analogous. Both were excellent and built on the musical history of their respective cultures, Beatles focusing more on the classical world and the Loving Spoonful focusing on the folk music of America.

    I throw the "Spoonful" in the same class as "The Animals". Not because of the style of music they did, but because you could always depend on them constructing well crafted, well performed "pop" gems...........and they never quite made it to the pinnacle of popularity ( Beatles, Stones).
    But man, they sure made GREAT music.

My band and I actually helped to setup and break down the bands equipment when they played at Queens College in New York, on one occasion. I would once and awhile drive Mark Sebastian to school when John lived in an A frame home in East Quogue, Long Island, NY.
