    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.

      @@tonycantu3491 No, but I've heard him sing thousands of times and seen him sing hundreds of times on film and video. He was a "singer" not a "performer"; there was nothing breathtaking about his appearance. When he was rehearsing for a performance at the Monte Carlo Red Cross Gala and Amália Rodrigues entered, he immediately got down to give the stage to her. We're talking about great artists not popular performers.

      @@MrCrowebobby I just wondered given your age that you would have seen him in his prime. I'm three decades younger, but was able to see him twice in concert (albeit in the later stages of his career). While a very different artist than the great Piaf, Sinatra was a consummate performer as well -- although not as dramatic as the Little Sparrow. His phrasing and breath control was breathtaking to me. Anyway, I don't mean to be argumentative about any of this as I love both artists. As a big Sinatra fan, I was just very curious if you had ever seen him in person. Thanks for the reply!

    This song was a major instrumental hit in the U.S. in 1956. It charted at #1 on the Hot 100 for Les Baxter, and other versions by Lawrence Welk and Russ Morgan also hit the charts. In the U.K., the big hit version was by Winifred Atwell. Edith is charming as always! This is from the same show on which she sang "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots".

      I think it is a song about 'Poor Johnny' but not about the poor people.
      In French 'Jean' and 'Gens' are almost equally pronounced (linguists call it 'homophones'), which may have led to a wrong translation into English.

      @@MegaSheen15 Once when the orchestra started too soon, but it was in the same hesitant "It's very IMportant." It was the greatest performance I've ever seen, but I can assure you she didn't "speak" English other than the minimum any European would pick up being bombarded with it all their life. Here is something I wrote about her Carnegie performance.
      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.

    (On n'est rien du tout)
    Il bectait chez des barons
    Il guinchait dans les salons
    Et lichait tous les tafias
    Mais n'oubliez pas
    Rien ne vaut une belle fille
    Qui partage votre ragoût
    Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
    (On n'est rien du tout)
    Pour gagner des picaillons
    Il fut un méchant larron
    On le saluait bien bas
    Mais n'oubliez pas
    Un jour on fait la pirouette
    Et derrière les verrous
    Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
    (On n'est rien du tout)
    Esgourdez bien, jeunes gens
    Profitez de vos 20 ans
    On ne les a qu'une fois
    Et n'oubliez pas
    Plutôt qu'une cordelette
    Mieux vaut une femme à son cou
    Sans amour on n'est rien du tout
    (On n'est rien du tout)
    Et voilà, mes braves gens
    La goualante du pauvre Jean
    Qui vous dit en vous quittant
    "Aimez vous", padam-padam-pam, tsoin
