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.

A great thank you from Dory's grandaughter

[@VIncentSunflowers]

There is so very little live performance available of Dory. She was a unique, special artist - much too 'real' for popular consumption but her true fans love her. Thank you for posting.

[@commonpike]

I'm wondering if this is 100% live ? There's a lot of instruments involved, and it sounds very good ...

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

@@commonpike it sounds like she's sing live to a backing track

[@bountybar]

I saw her in Glasgow, Scotland in, I think, late 1976 or maybe early 1977. Great show. This performance for network TV omits the following verse:
Sweet beautiful Jesus
On a painted cross
Polystyrene body
With a superficial gloss
Hey, were you
Jealous of your father?
Were you short
When you were fully grown?
Did you like to walk on water?
Were you scared
To be alone?

[@aquelpibe]

I consider her the most underrated pop music artist ever. Beautiful music, lyrics and delivery. Thank you Dory, wherever you are.

[@lonestarfriend]

She co-wrote the (Theme From) Valley of the Dolls. #2 hit for Dionne Warwick and lovely song.

[@hnc52]

Dory had a lovely voice and wrote such moving music.Her Carnegie Hall album is a true gem.

It seems so weird to me that Dory Previn once appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show.

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

saw this as a kid. wrecked me. been looking for this for years.

[@that70sgirl90]

Ne doubt about... she puts her heart and soul into the song. Thank you for sharing! 💖

[@kylie4284]

Honestly think she’s the best lyricist of all time

[@honestlyyours1069]

Dory Previn had a wonderful singing voice.

Most underrated artist of all time

[@jackgaylord9533]

Thank you ! I have been waiting years to hear someone else say that !

[@bennmordecai6395]

it honestly makes me sad to think about how someone can consistently produce such fantastic works and still be largely forgotten. I wish someone would help reinstate her to her deserved place in music history.

[@sofiabaker6949]

It means a lot. I sincerely agree and I love to know she is in others thoughts

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

@@sofiabaker6949 your grandmother was a great artist - and you're grandfather was really cute

[@ReverseWingover]

Saw and met Dory in the early 70's at Birmingham Town hall (UK). Very humble (Both of us).... Never heard anyone before or since who wrote songs like her. She deserves to be in a hall of fame somewhere. A truly wonderful soul with a beautiful voice and totally unique.

[@adatyll]

çok güzel 💗

[@zeldasmith6154]

She has a sweet voice. Horrible arrangement.

[@KZ-gi7ey]

Dory was a genius. Absolutely the most amazing mind I’ve ever encountered. Feel so lucky to have known her.

[@jimdixon3470]

Little known fact: Dory Previn's son Noel also became famous as a member of The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
