    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.

      He had more lines than what was on this snippet of the song. He has the whole second verse on the full length version.
      "My father didn't know the meaning of work.
      He disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt.
      I left home seeking a job that I never did find.
      Depressed and downhearted, I took to cloud nine."
      I absolutely love Paul!

    i'm led to believe that the line "you ain't got no responsability" was censored, as it was (totally) kind of a reference to drugs and they had to come up with another line.

      @GarwinWayne 3 роки тому +2

      Quiet as kept he is there in spirit. That 4 headed microphone was Ruffin's invention. In early 1967 he came up with that ..reason being..the Tempts was known for their dancing, so Ruffin developed a idea to come up with that microphone with 4 heads so they could dance & still meet up at their own mike to do the vocals. Prior to that they had to share two if not one microphone between the 4 guys singing background.
