    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.

      That's probably right. Tge campaign finance bribery system allowed the large corpirate buyout of the radio stations where unknown talented songs like this are not heard. Oliver Anthony's song has been boycotted by the radio and there's a strong alliance between the corporate radio and the record companies. Where one won't stand up to the other. Like you tube and the universal corporation.

    They removed the second verse of the song from this live arrangement, which mentions she and her friends having lost their starry notions while the years went rushing by. The emotional impact of the song is greatly diminished when this verse is removed. When this recording first came on the radio in 1968 and 1969, I remember its emotional impact was so strong it could make me cry. Listening to the radio in 1968, and 1969, all I can say is, those were the days.

      I think the edited version works quite well. In it, you get more of an impression of the speaker and her friend meeting for the first time since their youth - and this impression moves me. (I agree that the omitted verse is a good verse.)

      Bing Crosby sings all four verses of the song - as does Hopkin in her original recording. But he shifts what is the second verse in Hopkin’s recording to the fourth verse position. I can see why he does this. But no order seems right to me.
