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.

To think we went from these good vibrations to what we have today, hard to believe we are in the same world 50 years later.
HAIR co-creator James Rado passed away last year. He once reflected on this 1969 appearance: "The network wouldn't let us do anything involving nudity, but they did let us have smoke effects and allowed us the run of the theater. I don't think Mr. Sullivan knew what to think of us, but he seemed to truly enjoy the exuberance of the young cast. It was an exciting night and, boy, did it generate a long line at the box office the following morning!"
One of the most memorable performances in the program history as Ed and the audience were overwhelmed with peace, love, and celebration. A number of entertainers were former HAIR cast members. For this particular ensemble, we see Melba Moore who would return to ES the following year promoting her new role in the Broadway musical, "Purlie".
Ed was all about diversity long before it was the progressive thing to do..I watch it regularly on Catchy Comedy, and it amazing how inclusive it was...you can tell it was high on his list when booking guests...
You don't see talent like that or hear any music like that anymore unfortunately today it's all about Kids burying their face in cell phones.
Oh my, such an iconic performance. And without wireless headset microphones, the work that had to be done to set just perfectly the overhead boom mics into position and adjust the volume settings in order to pick up all the voices so well and evenly is just masterful. Look forward to seeing at some point the formal posting of the 5th Dimension's rendition of this which aired on Sullivan just a few months after this performance.
Today kids are in The jail cell of a phone.
The Ed Sullivan show was an institution for Sunday night
Those were the days my friends. We thought they'd never end.....
Ed looks delighted. The audience looked so confused, but then they too felt the love.
I was in Vietnam and took my R&R in Sydney Australia. It so happened that the Australian Production of Hair was playing at the Old Metro in Sydney. It was just wild and my eyes were wide open. At the end of the performance, they took us Sailors and Soldiers up on stage and held our hands and put beads around our necks and the girls kissed our blushing cheeks, the crowd went wild. It will be something I'll never forget.
The two women harmonizing at the beginning of Let the Sunshine In 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This always brings a Smile to My face & Ed Sullivan was a beautiful Soul.
Love watching the legendary Ms Melba Moore killing those high notes.❤❤🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾✌🏾✌🏾😊😊
What a joy this brings back to my heart. I still cry when they sing that last song. The Vietnam War affected everyone back then. I remember watching Walter Cronkite and how it affected my father to watch the war on TV every night. I was too young to see Hair when it was originally performed but we knew all of the music and even incorporated much of it in our 6th grade school play in 1969/70. Except for the war, it seemed like such a promising time. At least it felt like we were headed in the right direction. Peace 🕊
The Sullivan show was a must watch at our house for two decades.
I’m amazed at the ‘pipes’ those singers had - those were the days before wireless mic systems - amazing!
Saw Hair live at the Aquarius in fall 72, saw same cast in early 73 in traveling show. Love HAIR, took my family to see HAIR live in Seattle, twice in 2003, 73 was my graduation & 03 my oldest son’s graduation. His Jazz Choir sang both theses songs at their spring concert in 2003, because my son & his girlfriend wore their tie dyed Hair t-shirts to school constantly. Ed Sullivan was iconic and we watched his show every Sunday night!
Ed was an honorary flower child!🌺
I absolutely love this, it gives me goosebumps because it’s such a captured time capsule, being born in 1962 and being about 7 years old at this time, it’s exactly how I remember the young adults and older teens in that time…it’s dead on and the performance is amazing, love them going in the crowd, the audience reaction is priceless, some are into it,…the older crowd, not so much. What a find!
