    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.

    it’s fascinating how the comment section is completely missing the point that this is a comedy number and this was Virginia’s gimmick since the 1940s, which the audiences loved at the time

    Her deadpan, expressionless style was her 'shtick' in 40s musicals. She was impersonated in the Our Gang short "Calling All Kids".

    This is a comedy version but "Ramona" is a beautiful song when done normally. The Bachelors did a fantastic version of Ramona and Gene Austin's hit recording from 1927 was pretty good too. This is an unusual appearance to see in a color episode considering that Virginia O'Brien was popular for doing deadpan comedy numbers like this in 1940's movies. They did have a lot of former Hollywood stars on Hollywood Palace around this time though. I would love to see Jerry Vale on this episode sing, "Have You Looked into Your Heart" and "If It Isn't in Your Heart". I have read that Jerry performed the former song on an earlier Sullivan show in the same year and it brought about his comeback selling a lot of records right after the performance. I've never seen either performance, but it's a great song.

    Virginia Lee O'Brien (April 18, 1919 - January 16, 2001) was an American actress, singer, and radio personality known for her comedic singing roles in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals of the 1940s. O'Brien was a registered Republican and was supportive of Dwight Eisenhower's campaign during the 1952 presidential election. She also adhered to Catholicism. This explains the performance.
