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.

60's & 70's were the BEST! Who's with me?

👍
the best what?
Except for President Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, civil rights violations, and Watergate, sure they were the best.
The Girls in the audience crazy about Felix and The Young Rascals in 1967 Summer of Love and R.I.P Dino Danelli😞🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🎼🥁
it was probably very good to be a Rascal in 1967
I feel some how sad just to watch everyone from the audience, the group and specially the dancers so beautiful full of life ...who knows how many of them all are still alive and who's gone to eternity 😢
They may have watched old silent movies back then and had similar thoughts about those performers. Many years from now someone may read our comments in this video and think the same of us. Our lives on earth are just a pit stop on our way to something greater. There's no sadness with faith.
Lobe this song🎶
Sounds like a Bacharach composition
Ya know I never thought of that till you mentioned it..! Awesome observation my friend 👍
It brings me both tears and joy. Tears for not being able to return to those days and joy for having been there.
añoranza .. lagrimas .. y mas .. ..
Titan, my sentiments exactly. I lived thru that era. I was in my 20s and this song was one of my favorites and so were the Rascals. I feel I lived thru the best years for music.
I cannot believe we tore that era up and threw it away.
I so agree with you. I was in my first year of teaching in September of 1967 - turned 22 that same month, had graduated college and got married 3 months earlier in June. This September I'll be 79, and still married to the same lady 57 years later! I have just one question: How the Hell did I get from there to here so damned fast??!!!!
@@jaycorby Oh Jay, do I know what you mean. I am even older and it was a blink of the eye. When I was young the elderly said it was going to go fast. I couldn't comprehend it. What a blessing that you married the right lady and have been together all these years. Didn't we have the best music? Blessings to you and the family.
All these wonderful comments here, say one thing, in their own unique way, that it was a 'blessing'....a true blessing....to have been a part of that era. There was such a style and class in the pop music of that time. Looking back, our lives were so enriched, even.... "in a world that's constantly changing". Forever young!
I'm 75 and was blessed to be witness to the beautiful era of great music. Back then you could have a radio on all day and not hear a song you didn't like 👍😎😊
After such a LONG time I didn't realize how good this singer is. What a great voice he has.
He really did. But Felix sang more of the hits because he had an R&B voice, whereas Eddie had a Broadway voice.
I had thought Felix (the keyboard player) sang all their songs, including this.
@@johnsilva9139same here, couldn’t tell the difference until I watched the live performances
His older brother Dave sang with Joey Dee and the Starlighters. You can hear him singing background harmony on The Peppermint Twist. They sound almost exactly alike!
I always thought Eddie's voice was more natural and emotive. Felix also has a great sound, but Eddie's is better IMO
Those times were the best. Families drawn together to watch the Ed Sullivan show
Agree
@@stephendiamond9893 absolutely true, I remember being like 10 or 12 with the whole family watching Ed Sullivan and a group with crazy hair from England did their first debut on his show. He announced " The Beatles " geeez, I believe it was twist and shout. The world changed and rest is history.
@@stephendiamond9893 I loved to watch his "Really Big Shew"!
God I love this song. Its so joyful. Miss this time of my youth.
One of the best songs and singers of the 60's.
Man oh man, those were the days when music was music and rock was rock
That boy could sing!
No doubt, Felix really could SANG!!!
Good looking Italian boy,,,,, some braces would have really brought it all together.
@@1Rdby The lead singer for this song is Eddie Brigatti. Felix, who sang lead in most of the rascals songs, is behind him on the organ.
Sunday night with my grandparents watching Ed Sullivan. Fond memories. Great song
One of the most prevalent and powerful sounds around in the mid 60s, The Rascals were great!
One of the greatest songs ever.
It looks corny now, but we need more charm and innocence in pop music today. I watch the Grammys. None of today's pop music is particularly impressive. Most of the time they aren't even singing.
Why would you watch the Grammys? Everyone I know has rightfully abandoned that travesty years ago. Ratings are an all-time low. So many better things to do with your time, like watching these Ed Sullivan Show performances.
How Can I Be sure as a stand alone song will never be corny, imo.
The uncertainty of life will always be with us, so the lyrics are rather poignant still. And that complete change
bridge (?) , "How's the weather . . ." is brilliant and adds even more drama to the song. One of my childhood and all time favorites.
Yes--it's a masterpiece--in so many ways.@@faithe54
There is no more real Pop music today... No one wants to do the hard work to actually Learn about music, the history, and even just some of the finest Classical composers of the 17-18th century... There is a Huge difference between Pop groups and Pop Musicians.... I so appreciate all the years my Teachers taught us the History of Music along with what was Pop at the time...
I agree. I was born in ‘81. I’ve always liked this song.
Very under rated. Didn’t realize this guy’s singing was so great
If you liked Eddie's singing, you should have heard him with his brother David. Together they later formed "Brigati" and issued a terrific but under-rated album called "Bambu". Foolishly I loaned it out and have never been able to track it down since.
Me too! I grew up hearing this song, but didn’t appreciate this guy’s voice the way I do now seeing this video. He is amazing! Live or lip-synch or a combination - there seems to be a debate about that here in the comments - any which way, he is amazing!
@@Daisnap I always liked the Rascals and always appreciated Eddie's singing chops, he really shines on the earlier Young Rascals albums. Lip sync or combination? I'll go with combination but one thing is sure about this performance, there wasn't any orchestra and there was a reason why so much of the video is focused on the dancers.
@@geneobrien8907 Ah, interesting about lack of orchestra and emphasis on the dancers. So funny how I took great music for granted back in the day. I became used to high caliber vocals in fantastic pop songs. Like Shadow Morton's "Remember - (Walkin' in the Sand)" performed by the Shangri-Las
or anything Dusty Springfield did. So many others. I'm adding Eddie to my favorites list! I just discovered Frankie Ford's rendition of "Gone" 1957 - OMG! And the Righteous Brother who does that jaw-dropping "Unchained Melody" True musical treasures. Lucky us.
@@Daisnap Yes!
Such talent! Beautiful voice xx
Happy 78th Birthday (10/22/45) to Eddie! I'm 65, was "ridiculed" by my classmates for liking this song & the Rascals...too "corny"...I said to my friends, well then you're corny too because this band is from Bergen County, NJ...maybe you oughta move out...damn near got in a fistfight.
If I recall, Eddie sang lead on their 1st hit...ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore...another classic...to hell with my "friends"
I have a feeling if you spoke with those classmates today, they would apologize and admit you were right.
OMG 😲 I just made a comment about thinking the dancers were "corny" when I was a kid,and then seen your comment using the same "70s" word! Too funny!
Great minds think alike. Lol
simple minds never differ😜
@@markberryhill2715 The dancers are absolutely beautiful/feminine. All you see now are scowling lesbian land-whales
Those girls at the beginning are about 73-76 today.
They were adorable.
"Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney sweepers, come to dust" - Blake
Yes, we are 😉
One of the greatest songs ever written 😊
I love this song, the accordion, his vibrato, and emotion of free spirited love.❤
Yes !!!! This man had a Great, well-rounded, voice with perfect sense of vibrato....Some think vibrato is like a machine gun, etc., and ruin their music... Stevie Nicks is one of those people, unfortunately...
It has always been one of my favorites, and has been on my playlist ever since I've had one of those ( chortle ).
Eddie's voice, the dancers, the lighting. Spectacular!
It's crazy how I know every word to that song still!😅
Me too. I just sang along, knowing each word. I remember I was in Grammer school and I bought one of the teen magazines, I think it was Tiger beat, and they had all the words to this song. 💓💞💕
Yeah, I know.... and I can't remember what I ate for breakfast this morning.... HA! How does that happen...
Rascals had two of the greatest vocalists of all time - and so many timeless songs, this for sure one of them.
Don't be so naive, there are or were plenty who had great voices, like Scott Walker, Cliff Richard, and I can go on!
@@cirrus1964 Another Karen here folks....
@@billhosko7723 grow up
@@cirrus1964Say What?? The Rascals had two of the best--period. Felix Cavaliere was one of the best---Frank Valli was in there too. There weren't many even close.
I love at the end of the song the way Eddie smiles and makes his triumphant gesture to the heavens. Eddie knew that he nailed it, and so did the audience.
I was wondering why he made this gesture, us he pointing to God?
What a beautiful song and and a beautiful Era. We are so gifted that all these recordings are preserved. Some thing when i watch Hawaii 50 and the old cars, etc.
The song was so good that it was a hit again just 5 years later for David Cassidy.
Wow, I didn't know that.
@@StephanieJeanneme either
I think David’s version got close to or was #1 in Great Britain.
@@buddyvilla7393Yes, David Cassidy's version peaked at no. 1 in the UK charts in 1972 and stayed there for two weeks. In 1970, Dusty Springfield's version was released but only scraped into the Top 40.
Great to hear that. I will listen to David's version sometime soon.🙂
Sullivan really liked the Rascals, who were local Italian boys from Jersey, & had them on often.
That singer is Eddie Bragatti, but the song was written by keyboardist Felix Cavaleri, who wrote a string of Hits about his girlfriend, Adrienne Buccheri, age 17, whom he'd met at a concert the year before , (when he was 24) & they had started dating.
Anyone my age knows college boys dating high school girls was common in the 60s/70s, but now it's like a scandal, - funny considering we live in a WOKE society where the Baby Daddy thing is never criticized. Sigh!
Beautiful Young Rascal's song...❤
I love the song...have since it first came out. I just wish it was less of the dancers and more of the Rascals.
Only he can sing this song...
And David Cassidy
@@shaunwakefield9793 -David Cassidy???? Hilarious !!!!!
Actually Dusty Springfield did a beautiful cover of this song!
@@frandanco6289 I think it's a little unfair to dismiss Cassidy just because he was a 'teen idol'...He covered this song because he was a fan of The Young Rascals, and he did a pretty much faithful version of this great track, as did Dusty Springfield...It's a great song, doesn't really matter who did the 'best' version, all art is subjective anyway.
This is so beautiful, but David Cassidy's version really touches me as well.
Thanks for showing my favorite Young Rascals song, I like the way video was choreographed , also.
The first image of the girls in the audience was a child watching this video today is "Grandma is that you?" Where has the time gone?? Oh well.....:)!
Have a nice day!
By pure accident, I once came across a video showing my wife's parents in the audience of an episode of the Lawrence Welk show.
@@TopshelfTom - They never mentioned being on TV many years ago?
@shyman99 my wife knew about it from years before, having seen it on a rerun on TV before I knew her. Her mom had already passed on by that point, though.
@@TopshelfTom I am glad your wife was able to find the rerun after her mother passed, but she has her mom as a youthful teenager watching one of her favorite bands on TV no less.
Have a nice day!
and it’s Eddie’s birthday! Happy birthday!
memories of a music filled childhood
Would loved to have actually watched the band.
Today's pop music P.U. 😊 I feel in love with rascal music in the 60s still love them. Beautiful talented boys no one like them around thus day and age.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eddie!!!!
Magnificent Masterpiece from Eddie Brigati and The Rascals, Master Musicians, fan for 60 years, fellow paisines, 100% Italian
I can't think of any other Rascals' songs that feature Eddie Brigati on lead vocal. Delicate but powerful. The closest comparison stylistically to any other performer would be, to me, "Little Anthony" (Gourdine).
he sang lead on their first 45 I Aint Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" It barely made the top 40, then Good Lovin did the trick.
I never made that connection before, but he really does sound like Little Anthony here!
"I Ain't gonna eat out my heart anymore" features Eddie on lead vocals. It was their first single. They didn't write it but it is their best song in my opinion
Wow, Little Anthony...good ear.
Oh my gosh this song is so gorgeous, I’ve loved this since I was a munchkin and heard it re-played on the radio ❤❤❤
I was 9 when this came out i remember seeing this on the Ed Sullivan show I love this song
Damn, Brigati had a great voice! If you're just discovering the Rascals, do yourself a huge favor and listen to their version of "Since I Fell for You"
The original & best rendition of this song.
Happy birthday EDDIE
Such a great song, we saw some of the best bands on the Ed Sullivan Show
Ed Sullivan Show was one of the greatest TV shows ever. I wish it had continued on another 10 years.
This era in music is so refreshing.❤
Love this song. They made such great music
Jersey boys
Happy Birthday, Eddie! Although I was only eleven when this song came out, I never get tired of hearing it.
❤
Great song! ❤. For the past several weeks, this song has been on my mind! Beautiful!
I was thinking of the same word. Beautiful song and dance❤. Another great one was performed by Johnny Rivers and dancers.🙂
Great band!! A lot of great songs!!
He looks a lot like Freddy Mercury Great voice both of them
That's why I clicked on the video and scrolled down to see who else saw it. Not just the teeth and hair color but the nose and bone structure too.
Love watching the Ed Sullivan performances because he did not allow lip syncing. These are all truly live performances and they're typically excellent.
A pure pop song. I mean classic. For it's time and style it doesn't get any better than this.
I was taking army basic training at ft. ord, california on this date. Heading to vietnam in february 1968.
I am glad you are safe, thank you so much for serving.... I was in Basic Training for the USAF at Lackland AFB,, San Antonio, Texas at the same time.... I sure Loved all the great music going on back then... This group, The Rascals, and this song = Oh Wow.... Today, April, 2024 = Still Oh Wow !!!!! Just so perfect and beautifully played by these amazing musicians... I never had to to "Nam, but many friends did and it did not go good for them.... The Cold War was also going on, and the Entire USA had Every Air Force Base, Station, even many civilian airports converted to Air Force Radar Sites, so we could track every inch of the sky above America 24/7, to keep the Ruski's missiles at bay....
OMG glad you survived.
Enough of those dancers flitting around...we want to see the lead singer.
Absolutely!
God I love this song. Its so joyful. Miss this time of my youth.
You're the bomb Eddie!
My favorite song by The Young Rascals/Rascals. I wish Eddie had been allowed to sing lead on more songs. Eddie and Felix are credited as writers but I think Eddie’s brother also contributed to the song. I was only four when I first heard it way back in 1967 but it still gives me chills these 56 years later. JC has it really been 56 years??? Say it ain’t so!!
The Sullivan show was the only show that could afford the equipment and engineers to actually have live performances. The other shows had to have the artists lip sync.
This is a backing track.
@@Meme-zc4cw .. sounded like a combination of lip sync and live vocal ..
Actually several groups like the Mamas and Papas lip synched on Ed Sullivan, this was done with a backing track
This is definitely lip sync
@@SamBroadwayAgreed. His voice was too consistent while his mic was all over the place. Plus, too many cutaways and no closeup shots of the other musicians (usually an easy giveaway of not performing live).
This brings back good memories from my childhood. So cool 😎
My favorite song by them, and one of my favorite songs of all time.
Mine, too! One of my absolute favorite songs!
Ed Sullivan: hippest old dude on TV!
really big shew. when you're 4 years old and your mom is glued to this stuff, you think it's world news. this song and the band was good enough. they didn't have to hire dancers and pretty girls in the audience. if the beatles were on, i really believed those girls were dying.
Sullivan should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--seriously.
Ed was very cool, but he didn't like Jim 😆😆 Jim didn't care 🔥
Ed knew talent when he heard it and saw it!
My absolute favorite of theirs!!! Could have done without the dancers.
They were very talented. Loved their music.
The Rascals were such an amazing group! Such great music, I loved this song and all their songs!
Love this song ❤
Absolutely fantastic. Great song fantastic times. Can I borrow someone's time machine?
When you saw a performance on the Ed Sullivan show you knew it was a great performance, he was very strict about how the show was to go, he was very conservative, his show was very family oriented and he had top performers. His show was number one until he passed away.
Elvis Presely, The Beatles, The Stones, The Rascals, The Doors, the list goes on & on, all on Ed Sullivan every Sunday night. It wqaas either NBC"s wonderful world of color, or Ed Sullivan..... Sullivan won out in my house, but then again we didnt have a color TV.
Sullivan's knew what he was doing you don't have a hit show for 20 years by being dumb and untalented
Born in 1960. Take me back please.
1955. Same here. Everybody today walks around staring at a phone.
The girl at the 0:05 mark almost reminds me of actress Rachel McAdams!!
Great performance.😊
As a former Dancer I Love The Dancers and Costumes for this song! Very '60's!!!
I was thinking the same,and I used to hate them as a kid cause I thought they was "corny" lol.
P.S. (and now I see why my dad loved them- all of them beautiful honeys "jumping around")
I liked the choreographed dancing too. Well done. Another good performance was by singer Johnny Rivers and some dancers on this Ed Sullivan show.
Those are negligees…….i guess people just didn’t realize it back then….
Who ever heard accordion played in pop music? Right here and later on by Bacharach and Tom Jones in 'What's New Pussycat'.
The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is "Think It Over" by Brenda Russell, the accordion in that track gives a similar feel🪗
The accordion part is my favorite bit! It gives the song a dreamlike, Italian quality.
Yeah, it made the song very European. I've heard this was on French & Italian jukeboxes for many years. It's still played in some clubs.
Billy Joel may have used an accordion on a couple of songs. Piano Man, maybe and possibly New york State of Mind. I can't remember for sure.
I was thinking French, but I can see why you say Italian. @@TuckerSP2011
72 here in Texas. What a wonderful music era! This song along with all the Rascal's songs, were my favorites.
Lov that man's voice
Good afternoon my friends
They was great in this era of music 🎶 history to
Today music is like a garbage to
Am still listening to this music in July of 2024 to
What a hippie, trippy, groovy year 1967 was pop-musically and -culturally, including with this classic great hit and those Sullivan dancers! 🥰
And the year I was born👍🏿💯
Indeed it was , my sister and her husband were married in that summer of love ❤️ 1967.😊
Musically 1967 was a fantastic year.
Sorry, the songwriting skills disappeared a long time ago. Will never be the same.
Beautiful song. Seeing all these young happy ppl on top of the world. I wonder where they are now 👍
We need more of this kind of music
I grew up on this in Estonia. It encouraged me to move to Detroit in the early 20s.
Ed was the best 🎉😄💖
Beautiful, Parisienne-flavored Rascals ballad in 3/4 signature time, featuring Eddie Brigati on lead vocals. It was released as a single (top 10) off their great 1967 Groovin’ album, their last as the “Young” Rascals.
Such beautiful lyrics.
Quintessential 60s!!
VERY BEAUTIFUL RASCAL SONG. WOW!!!
Finally! A remastered version of one of my favorite songs on the Ed Sullivan show!! Thanks! 😊
❤❤love song
Great shots of the band playing.
... Sacred Song!!!...
Glad this was posted, but sorry I had to watch the dancers and not the band! I know they weren't playing live BUT you can hear Eddie B. singing over the track from time to time and that's the best part for me. Love me some Rascals now and forever! ❤☮🌎
OMG! I was a year old when this song came out and it still blows me away! 😮
Very very hip music and dance.
I really dislike the "groovy" presentation. Even though there's a backing track, why did the band show up, they could have used cardboard cutouts. So little footage of the Rascals exists, live or not, would have been great to actually see the band, not the June Taylor Dancers.
Eddie sings it beautifully…and was part writer along with Felix 👍❤️
That a beautiful song
disagree. these musical giants should not have to be sharing the stage with this silly dancing.
The dancing was kooky, absurd, and totally charming. You're too jaded for your own good, youngsters. Loosen up and enjoy the parade while you can...
I agree. I remember watching this and being irritated by the dancers getting in the way.@@jv-ep2tc
The song is beautiful. Skip forward in time or zoom in if there is something you don't want to hear or see in a video. I've done that for some other videos. Not this one.
I watched this live, and had no idea that I was looking at Austin Powers
GO YOUNG RASCALS !!😊
