    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.

      Barbara Mcnair sung Motown hits...really ? Everyone sung this Stevie Wonder original in the 60s and 70s. What is her nationality, is she bi- racial ? She wasn't including alot of SOUL in her style and delivery during her heyday.

    When will Ms. McNair's story be put on a platform giving her legendary status like Dorothy Dandridge? She has beauty and a memorable powerful voice on par with a Shirley Bassey, emoting sooo much passion.

    I watched the final episode of original Mission Impossible and she gave a fine performance as a villain. Her and Greg Morris embrace and both coyly whisper" What's Love Got to Do With It". I would bet Tina Turner and or her associates were viewing and got the idea for the hit song.

    It is one thing to sing 'behind the beat' occassionally for effect, it's another to do it from start to finish. It robs the song of rythym and causes it to drag. She has a nice voice, but her performance here really drags.

      The cocain arrest was due to her shady Husband at the time who had close interactions with the Mob.
      Her husband was a heroine addict and he had the package delivered to their home.
      Ms. McNair who was home at the signed for the package not knowing the contents.
      She was very taken aback and by this revelation, as she was always conscious of maintaining a clean cut image. Upon discovering the truth, charges against McNair were dropped. That to the side,
      This performance was a beautiful experience as McNair had extremely impressive vocal prowess.
