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 is good that Ed Sullivan made these visual recordings documenting various Broadway performances in the 1950s and 1960s. Otherwise, these amazing and unique performances would be lost forever.
As I do when I take off hat, you make a good point !!
Whoever is digitizing these and uploading have the BEST job in the world! Thank you!
I heartily concur !!
So much better than everything today!
thank you for this. love to see Carol Haney remembered
Wow! I loved this. Love the early clips of Bob Fossie dancing. He and Carol Haney did that great dance number near the end Kiss Me Kate movie 1950s. I love watching him dance, in the 1950s. He and Gwen Verdon, in Damn Yankees, doing Who's Got The Pain. Great dance number with Bob and Gwen. These are so wonderful to watch. Recently on Amazon, got some books, about Gwen Verdon, and some about Bob Fossie. ❤
Absolutely Loved this Song & Dance (and Piano) Routine…not to mention the Band! The Best Ever!

This was Fantastic!!! The dancing, the outfits, the singing... and the music. It was highly entertaining! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Great. Irving Berlin music. Fosse. Cakewalk. Theater Arts. Swing. Tap. Vocals. That's the way you do it.
Love it! As our beloved Ed would say, "A REALLY BIG SHEW !!"
Carol Haney was in a show and her understudy was Shirley MacLaine. Carol Haney was taken ill and Shirley MacLaine took over the part which made her a star. Very sadly Carol Chaney died of her illness. As you saw in the clip she was a wonderful dancer. Then of course Bob Fosse then found the wonderful Gwen verdon. I'm 86 years old and I remember these Stars very well the first Broadway show I ever saw at Gwen verdon in it
I'm 87 and ditto to everything you said. "Damn Yankees" was my first Broadway show. I was 17 and studying tap in NY -- became a dancer, but never made it to Broadway, worked in Europe.
Thank you someone I can finally talk to. I worked on Broadway most of my adult life doing hair and makeup and the first show I ever saw on Broadway was redhead with Gwen verdon. boy did I fall in love with her. The first show I ever worked on Broadway was Camelot doing all the armor and crowns and all that junk out of something called scholastic you probably know what that is poisonous. Do you know today so many people don't even know who Gwen verdon was and she didn't come across on the screen and she did in person but I think she was just magnificent. Take care
@@RoderickFernandez-ps5ci Sounds like you had a wonderful life. I had a chance to work for Jean Rosenthal, the lighting genius, through her brother, but didn't take it. Don't regret it as nothing could have been better than my years in Paris and Rome, but of course I would love to have done a Broadway show as a dancer. Gwen, in addition to all her talent, was the quintessence of star quality. Hope you're still doing well. Take care.
Paris and Rome doesn't seem too shabby to me. It was so good to hear from someone from the day because all my friends are gone. You know if I could even at my age I'd be going up and down those stairs at the Broadway theater killing myself I miss it so much because so much of your life is tied up with your work your friends are there you know friends you work with but I'm doing fine now thank God for the web search wonderful old things on it. Hope to hear from you again have a good day
@@RoderickFernandez-ps5ci Can't say anything on Broadway excites now. "Billy Elliott the Musical" was last great love and I down loaded everything I could find about the casting, developing the boys, etc., etc. I bought a ticket for the show here in Boston, but the boy playing Billy had outgrown the part, so I bought another ticket (I couldn't even afford the first one) for two or three days later (with no guarantee I wouldn't catch the same guy). As luck would have it I saw Ben Cook and he was phenomenal. Here's something about the best performance I have ever seen. It's long, but I hope you'll enjoy it.
"Piaf" at Carnegie Hall.
I was 19 and heard about Piaf from an older mentor/friend who had lived in Europe. I almost wore out her album, though I didn't understand French at the time. This friend bought my ticket for the concert. It was an incredibly chic and sophisticated audience: many looked like they were from the foreign embassies in New York. The stage was bare except for the red theater curtain and it was a good 15 minutes after show time before Piaf walked out to thunderous applause. She looked slightly bewildered -- as if she was the cleaning woman and had wandered onto the stage by accident.
She was tiny (4'10”) and wore a plain black dress with just a silver cross for jewelry. She reached the center of the stage and stood before the mike with her open hands covering the front of her hips, her feet planted shoulder width apart and suddenly this tremendous voice you couldn't believe was coming out of this tiny woman filled the hall. The orchestra (some 20 pieces) was behind the curtain throughout the show.
And as soon as she finished singing, she went back to being this tiny creature who couldn't possible be the person you had just heard sing. Her face was incredibly expressive when she sang, but even more so were her hands. She stood almost perfectly still throughout a song, but her hands moved it as if they were separate beings, running up and down her body when she was singing about a lover's caress; putting one hand over her lower belly as if she were carrying a lover's baby when she sang of a lover dying or leaving her; and she would sometimes cover half her face with one hand (which a singer is never supposed to do, but which Judy Garland also did). Liza Minnelli says Piaf told her “Use only one gesture per song.” Meaning, of course, one signature gesture.)
I later lived in Paris and saw her perform with her last lover, Théo Sarapo , when she was close to death. By then I could understand the lyrics to all of her songs. The duet she did with him “A Quoi Ca Sert L'amour ” (What Use is Love) isn't one of her most famous or best, but seeing them do it together (he was a very young 26 and she was a very old 46) embodied everything she had sung about all her life.
This is a review in advance of all Fosse's choreography for the remainder of his entire lifetime.
He and Haney already did that in 1953. Kiss Me Kate. This is a bit more conventional showbiz. But still so much damn fun.
I see some Chicago, some Sweet Charity, and some Pippin moves.
I see the roots of the Fosse style here, especially Cabaret…
The dance is amazing and the antiperspirant issue is hilarious.
I love this! Portions of the dance interlude must have ved directly into the choreography of Cabaret and Chicago.
Most of the steps have been around since the earliest days of Vaudeville, though they're still great when done with such style.
Amaaaazing!!!
This looks like Fosse choreography too. There are some very familiar steps and shapes in there...
Cool song
Love your video 🙂
All That Jazz...
Who ever owns this stuff you better release it all intact! I knew Bob Fosse...this is the kind of genius, dancers, choreography, music that you will never see again. The idiots today know nothing of the history, style, MAGIC of these times. I get depressed every time I see this stuff because I lived it, danced it, sang it. If this goes, isn't taught and experienced it is truly OVER! And what is left, STINKS!
Спасибо.
Wow... the days of live broadcast where they couldn't stop and remove Carol Haney's deodorant from Bob Fossi's shoulder and do over! Made for some great laughs, red faces and shocked expressions 😄
Good eye.... never saw that! That makes the video unique. That's hysterical! 😄😄 Thank you for sharing! 💖
I guess you could focus on that sort of nonsense ... or you could enjoy the performance. You've chosen the nonsense.
Who says you can’t have fun with both. It’s all the fun times and great dancing that make the art so much fun. Dancer here speaking
0:56
who was the pianist?????? he was wonderful
From 2:41- 2:45 one can see movement that would be eventually recorded fosse’sFosse’s “Hot HoneyRag.”
Fosse got all the girls, remember the 70's and 80's.
May I ask do you live in New York City? I love reading what you sent me
I don't know if I ever got back to you my memory is shot but yes I do live in New York City and lived here since 1959. It's a great place to live when you're young but not so good when you ain't Young
Name of the pianist, please!
Haney was such a brilliant talent. Too bad she died when only 39, alas.
Yes, officially from pneumonia, but everyone knew it was alcoholism. Despite all her talent and success, she had lots of demons and drank herself to death…not unlike Fosse. She had a lot more to give, especially as a choreographer. Very sad.
Wow, lots of this choreography ended up in Hot Honey Rag.
Bob Fosse was a genius. His choreography made him famous with his ability to deliver it himself with such excellence. He married Gwen Verdon but it didn't last as she asked for a divorce because of his philandering. Could you blame him?
Nooo...Bobby and Gwen never divorced. Separated, lived apart (but not far apart), but still worked together, stayed close through Bob's illnesses and then when Bob finally dropped dead on the way to the Sweet Charity revival opening in DC in 1987. So they stayed married for 26 years, not too shabby.
It may have been Bob's drug-fueled erratic behavior more than his outside affairs that prompted the 1971 separation. That was right around their time in Germany for the Cabaret movie, and some months before he did Pippin.
They moved out of their 91 CPW penthouse but took apartments south of the Park, near each other. I know Bob was on W 58th east of Sixth Avenue, and I seem to recall Gwyneth was a block or two from there. Nearby was 850 Seventh Avenue, where Bob and Paddy Chayefsky both had workspaces a couple doors down from their lunch spot, the Carnegie Deli, and right across the avenue from (R.I.P.) Joan McCracken's old apartment in the Wyoming at 853 Seventh (entrance then at 180 West 55th); which in turn was nearly across the street from City Center, where Bob did a Pal Joey or two; and likewise a stone's throw from the Ziegfeld where Cabaret premiered in Feb. 1972. You could do most of this walking tour in ten minutes.
