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.

There was so much variety of music styles in the Sixties. Virtually anything could become a big hit. Rock, pop, jazz, R&B, folk, vocals, instrumentals, movie themes, Broadway, etc. What a great time for music.
That was the best things about the Sixties.
The 1920s meet the 1960s. I've seen Rudy Valee use a megaphone m old films. This song was a surprise hit considering the time period and styles of music playing on the radio.
Connie Francis is my favorite .
Yes there was 10 times the diversity in life then than there is today
Funny how after all these years, I still remember the words
L O L me too!!!!
Today's Music don't have the same Soul
This was my favorite song as a little boy. My little sister's favorite song was DOWNTOWN by Petula Clark. I think her choice gets played a lot more these days.
I love both and when I was growing up I heard Downtown way more often, but my radio station where I live now plays this one about every day!
The Rudy Valley megaphone sound made this song quite memorable by the 1960s -- great to hear this gem again!
Oh wow. Haven’t heard this in ages. I think I saw this on the Ed Sullivan show. Great memories
Rudy Vallee actually covered it
This song came out on my birthday 1966
That's QUITE a commemoration for your birth. Congratulations!
🎉🎉❤🎉🎉
Written by Geoff Stephens. Truly one of a kind pop song.
Finally a live performance from the band 😊
This was playing when I met a young girl who is now my wife 52 years ago this is our song
That's so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
That is freaking cool. It takes me back fifty years ago. When I was ten years old
Yep...
That dude reading the paper and smoking the cig. must be their "booking agent"
That was hysterical!! 😎
That looks like Dennis Allen (Laugh-in)
The 1920s in the middle of the incredible 1960s
Ahhhh yesss...I remember watching them on Ed Sullivan with my family. (except we weren't watching in color! ha ha) I would've been 7 in 1966
I vividly remember watching this when it first aired 55 years ago! I guess it made quite an impression on my eleven year old self! Thanks for replaying such a fond memory!
I finally found this song after 50+ years searching. I remember this song as a little kid and it was like magic music. The song made growing up in the 60s so impressionable. As a kid the Beatles were the first group I ever heard on tv. Song was I wanna hold your hand. Then heard the associations Georgie girl on radio and 3rd song I ever remember was winchester cathedral. Great times great memories.
I remember Watching *this* performance with my Dad!
He Loved this song - I still have the 45 he bought!
😎😎😎
It was my dad's favorite song at that time, too!
somehow this song has been stuck in my head since kindergarten.
I haven't heard this song in ages! What a blast! Thank you. 👏
At least the lead vocal is live.
My favorite song as a 7 year old in 1966.
Loved them... they were quite entertaining!
Happy Friday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Anyone else remember this from the sixties
I made my singing debut singing this very song when I was just 6 years old and in the first grade!@
Thank you very much for posting this! "Winchester Cathedral" was an enormous number one hit and played everywhere. It seemed that every Easy Listening singer of the time was singing or recording it as it was the "hip" retro song to perform for awhile. The Lawrence Welk Orchestra performed it many times on their show, and I really like their version and the original by the New Vaudeville Band. It's great to see this! I think they performed it one other time on the Sullivan show as well.
Frank Sinatra does a great version on his That's Life album.
I remember this tune 🙌🏼
Love the phantom bassoon starting at 0:38 and the phantom trumpets at 1:32.
I know they're using the recording, but it always cracks me up when they're pretending to perform live, but you hear instrumentation that isn't represented on stage. (Like all the Partridge Family performances. 😂)
Yeah, where's the bassoon?? 😁At least they were cool enough to use one in the arrangement.
My kind of music!!!
Very good memorable music!!!!!
One of my favorite 60s novelty tunes...
AWESOME
Got the Rudy vallee thing going there singing into the megaphone.
As a small boy I grew up near Winchester Cathedral and this single was always on the Dansette!
It's weird listening to this without the record skips 😅
A beautiful era for all types of music. The variety was enormous and we loved it all. You just put the radio on and enjoyed it all. Every day. Young and old. Can we say that now?
Today, sadly, there's no station that I'm aware of like that.
Back in Ye Olde Tymes, when I was a kid (60s-70s), it was just as you described. There was much to love, and if a song came on that was a bit of a dud, no worries- songs were of a civilized length, 2-3 minutes, and chances are the next one would suit one's fancy better!
WAY COOL to see them perform this hit! That drum set is as close to Chick Webb"s 1930's drum set with a few exceptions.Those cymbal stands are straight out of the Savoy Ballroom era.
Incredibly, this song was a Grammy winner for "Best Rock N' Roll" (?!) record. I remember when it came out as well as Allan Sherman's version- "Westchester Hadassah"!
The Grammy guys were kind of not with it back then when it came to rock and roll. The 1965 Grammy in that category went to King of the Road by Roger Miller. In 1967 it was Up-Up and Away.
I loved this song when I was a little girl, thank you for posting it
This song sure brings back memories!
Use to sing and dance to this in my day!
THANK YOU for posting this gem!
My favorite
So Happy This Song😊Everytime Listened To Folks 😊❤️This Always❤️
They good band
If Anybody wants to "re-imagine" this Catchy Unique tune; I nominate AJR.
👏👏👏😎🎙
saw a line up of this band in the late 70s in Cardiff Ocean Club. They did this and much more.. a really talented band.
I could be in that band, I think I can play the newspaper 🤪
That guy playing the Cigarette is a master.
It's called a MEGAPHONE 📣, NOT a cigarette! 🙄
This is one song from the 1960s I did not - and still do not - like.
The Cathedral is very close to the bus station in Winchester.
Those fellers were really good, and put on one hell of a show....
❤❤❤❤❤💯👍
Nice clip and obviously different vocal to the hit single.
Yes. The Sullivan show insisted that the bands play the recorded backing track, but let the vocal be live. see The Turtles _ "She'd Rather Be With Me" on this channel, from early 1967.
❤
💪
Cool!
👏👍
👏👏👏
It's even better when they're on stage with no instruments
¡Gracias por compartir este video! Una verdadera rareza. ¡Saludos desde México! P.D.: ¿sería posible que compartieran la única presentación de The Doors donde interpretan 'People Are Strange' y 'Light My Fire ' por favor?
I saw a promo for M*A*S*H* on the channel MeTV, and they mentioned the character Charles Winchester. I hear I can't hear the word "Winchester" without thinking of this song. Voh-doh-dee-oh-doh . . . .
My favourite M*A*S*H character.😅
made all the more memorable by the guy reading the paper and smoking. his coughing his lungs up was unfortunately edited out
Whispering & Shirl?? I think they did two other songs, "Whispering" & "Shine", on the show according to the CTVA episode guide.
I just did some research. This video is their performance of "Winchester Cathedral" from November of 1966, so the description and date is wrong. On the January 1967 appearance, they performed a 33 second version of "Winchester Cathedral" along with a longer version of "Whispering" and "Shirl". You can see screenshots and a listing for it at Historic Films. The other performance is 6 minutes long. I'm glad we got to see one of their two performances on the show though!
@@TomElvisSmith Thanks Tom! Looking forward to their duplicate Connie/Bobby video 🥱😁
@@MostlyBrenda You're welcome! I enjoy watching and researching the Sullivan show!
@@TomElvisSmithyes your quite right Tom as you noted here in the comments previously,
p.s. hope your having a nice birthday 🎂 weekend! 🥳🥳
@@Konrad.. Thank you Konrad! :)
One of the odd ball, least-likely hits of the 60s.
The other strange thing during this time was how many songs used harpsichord.
Is the guy smoking and reading the paper part of the band? If so he’s my favorite member.
This guys gals dumps him,and he blames a cathedral, brilliant .
Did they play this song live? The vocals and some trumpet parts sound different from the record.
A bit of trivia - Jane Austen is buried there.
You're in a band? That's right. Oh wow! What do you do? Me? Oh, I sit on the side in a smoking jacket smoking a cigarette and reading the paper. You should come see us sometime.
One hit wonder. You can hear the English accent. What's the instrument the lead singer is playing?
Same peoples are the associations the band
Where can I watch the Shirl one? Ive seen clip from ed sullivan show insta and tiktok, I kinda like it, but i cant find the full version of the song anywhere
How many hits did this band have?
Just that one at least in the United States anyway
Never heard n SG as a Jazz Guitar. I associate it with ZAPPA and his long, loud sloppy solos. Cool. Has an innocent tone in this tune.
PISCIS. Discoteca en Gerona.
When the record became a hit they had to form the band because it didn't really exist.
Curious why they sang "girl" instead of "gal". Girl doesn't rhyme with bell although gal doesn't really either. Anyway, the recorded single distinctly said "gal".
We have the word “gal” in America.
We have the word “gal” in America.
We have the word “gal” in America.
Yeah, I noticed that too and was wondering if I remembered the original recording correctly or not but I was pretty sure I did. Not a perfect rhyme but close enough that it didn't seem odd. As I understand it from the comments, the music was recorded but the vocals were live. Who knows if it was even the same singer, but for some reason I guess he decided to change the word.
I swear I hear a bassoon, but I don't see one. Is this the original audio? I feel like this might be lip synced.
Since when is vaudeville in the 1960's?! This is an anachronism!
Get away!
And so what?!!! It’s a great tune! It won a Grammy as well ! What does that mean?!!!!
Yeah, now you're getting it.
So is this alan klein miming to john carters original studio recording?
His girls leaves him, and he blames a cathedral?
Of course! It’s never the guy’s fault.😅
Damned church bells.
The guy smoking ..ha!
What is the point?
@@thomasnichols8150 He was the vocalist on all the hits after this.
Changing the original "gal" to a more Americanised "girl"!
We have the word “gal” in America.
The Wrecking Crew
Session musicians in any case. They were from England, not California.
@@tomc642 YES SIR! probably Big Jim Sullivan and Vic Flick on guitars Bobby Graham on drums John Paul Jones on bass and piano. Peter Grant manager of Led Zeppelin assembled a band for their road dates. I havent a clue who these guys are.
Best version was by Lawrence Welk
Is that lerch playing the piano?
@0:46 - No need for stinkin' tobacco-drug addict.
Sorry, the dude with the newspaper, what’s that all about?
Cute, but Lawrence Welk's record of this song was better.
Yes it was.
Great song, But Lawrence Welk's was better.
One hit wonder
What's with the fruit sitting and reading the paper?
They are so not really playing those instruments . Probably not really singing, too.
Horrible crappy song
very obviously lip syncing
And so was the Super Bowl bs show!
I have always HATED this song!!!!
Nice SG Special!
