    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.

    One thing that stood out about Bobby was that he was the whole package. Bobby was, bottom line, a truly good man. He loved his music. The sincerity and passion in his voice was so real. His children adored him, and he adored them. He and Linda adored each other. They were perfect together. There's not much more to say about Bobby. He was, and is still, so loved. And he left behind an unmatched legacy of beautiful music for future generations to discover.

    I don’t think most people know what a true counter tenor is. It’s not pushing your voice high, or straining, like falsetto. It’s just as natural for Bobby as breathing, with no effort. Bobby’s register is amazing. But what distinguishes him from all others is the warmth and sincerity and love radiating from him. To me it’s unusual to hear that higher register with such tenderness. . God gave him an amazing talent. And I wish he had used it more and that we had a lot more videos.

      I actually think the term Blue Eyed Soul did them a disservice, although it shouldn't have, but I feel they thought of themselves as inferior blues singers, which of course they weren't, if anyone doubts it their Shindig performance with the Blossoms should dispel that myth. Sadly, I suspect their relatively low-key success was due to being white boys in black dominated music.

    • @Aurora-tp3dy
      @Aurora-tp3dy 8 місяців тому +5

      They are blue-eyed soul. The term was coined just for them. A DJ in Philly after meeting them, and their blue eyes, started calling them his blue-eyed soul brothers.
      To me calling so many others that watered it down making it almost meaningless.

      Also, they were well respected in the black music community and general public.
      If Bill hadn't decided to go solo, there is no telling what they could have accomplished.

      richardthiele8363 it did not matter what song Bobby sang wether solo or with Bill. They were blessed individuals with such voices. Bobby was a countertenor, what a blessed voice. Any song that he sang was done so effortlessly. Even as he has gotten older he still maintained his vocal range. No one then or now could ever achieve those octaves without utilizing the feature of autotune that came in place in the 90' s. Over the years heard al hiber or ray Hamilton rendition of unchained melody. To do a comparison or not ray Hamilton was the closest to Bobby's vocal range even though he was a tenor. If you would like look into Bobby's version of the classic summertime. He does his own spin on it, hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised. Also look into his version of ebb tide, my prayer, song from west side story or any of his solos that were either a live performance or recorded in studio. His version of unchained melody was a live performance Andy Williams show in 1965. Bobby you are much dearly missed, your 🎶 still and will continue on after all these years.

      Precision isn't a word I would use normally about a singer, but in their case it's true, they hardly ever missed a best...it's almost as if they were Siamese twins instead of 'brothers' (and yes, I know they're not). All credit to Bill for keeping up with him as Bobby's voice was a force of nature. Great is a small word to describe them, but it certainly fits.

    Bobby's breath control is out of this world! He makes it sound so effortless and polished, almost operatic; that distinguishes him from most other singers who really work hard at pushing out the notes and often end up murdering the song. What is even more amazing is the fact that neither Bobby nor Bill had formal voice lessons, other than that time when Bill lost his voice and feared he'd never sing again. They just worked very, very hard and polished their performance, perfecting their skills by listening to their favorite artists: Sam Cooke, Roy Hamilton, Ray Charles and so many more. But they also sang with soul, something that cannot be taught.

    Spectacular Bobby at his very best. Bill knows he's overshadowed by Bobby's amazing vocals in this one, but that's not to take anything away from Bill, in the early years his voice was what made their songs instantly recognisable and Bobby's amazing counter tenor was probably underrated at the time. I speak as someone who grew up in London and knew them only through their occasional appearances on British TV. I now realise we were deprived of the opportunity to appreciate what an incredible talent they were. 😥

  • @Elisa-ul2we
    @Elisa-ul2we 8 місяців тому +5

    Bobby's voice is so unique and instantly recognisable. Listening to him and watching him sing is an almost mystical experience at times. If I could choose a last song to listen to it would be Stay With Me (baby), his version is incredibly moving and for me, he owns it entirely, just as Unchained Melody belongs to him.
    I love their early Shindig appearances too which showed what amazing performers Bill and Bobby were in the early years and it's a joy to watch them having so much fun.
    I too wish we had more videos, but there are also some film appearances, such as A Swingin' Summer, a brilliant performance of Justine at the end, and Beach Ball, both teen movies but well worth looking for. Together they were the best, but Bobby's talent was in a class of its own.

She was always singing either a Righteous Brothers, Elvis or a Beatles song. We are both honored to honor her with this song. But it won’t be easy to hold back the tears. She loved everyone no matter what you looked like or who you loved. First time I met her she gave me the biggest hug and said “welcome to the family child” as she handed me a plate of craw dad and red beans and rice. And that was at their family reunion.
