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.

HARRY BELAFONTE has influenced so many performers, so many singers.
I was listening to a Neil Diamond album from 1974 entitled, SERENADE. There is do much of that album that draws directly from Harry's calypso albums,
Check out the song, THE LAST PICASSO

[@JBevan85]

Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard borrowed a bit from the guitar rhythm huh?

[@eddasimon1427]

Simply great❤️🌹🍀

[@beatlesss9592]

In this channel only exist Pearl Bailey and Harry Balofante

[@nicadair7700]

ER WAR EIN GIGANT

[@Miketendo93]

You can really hear the influence in Smokey Robinson's vocal styling from Harry Beloafonte

[@bobbyhanly3466]

Bit fast. Highwaymen is the only version. Sounds like Harry is in a rush to get to the men's room.

[@robertday3817]

Consider that the next year, Poitier would win an Oscar on the shoulder of "A----Men" and a bunch of nuns. It is worth pondering if Harry turned the role down.

[@lindawilliams8715]

Mr. Belafonte stated he was offered the role but he refused because it didn't make sense for a Black man to appear from nowhere going nowhere and build a church for a bunch of Nazi nuns!🤣😂

[@lennon1252]

Ed let Harry sing about Satan but wouldn't let Buddy Holly sing Oh Boy and wouldn't let Jim Morrison say the word higher. 😮

[@Firefoxy-rz1nw]

It's also interesting that Belefonte was allowed to appear with his shirt open like that--presumably because he was a black "islander"--whereas acts like Holly probably wouldn't be allowed to get away with that.
I recently watched Siren of the Tropics, a 1920's silent film, and was surprised to see that the black actress, Josephine Baker, goes topless in several scenes in the movie. They'd never be able to show a topless white actress in a mainstream movie during that era
