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.

Mid 60's ... best era for pop, rock and soul music.
From Allentown PA, Jay Proctor (right) and the Techniques performing their second biggest hit single. Classic stuff.
My teen years 🎵👏
Such wonderful music and so many memories. 15 years old and pumping gas and listening to Motown when Motown ruled for this white boy. My buddies were into the British invasion and I was 💯 percent Motown and my favorite was Levi Stubb's and his four tops and who could scream like the wicked one, Wilson Pickett
I was about 6 when this came out! Motown here also! Love it! White girl from Philly ❤❤
These fellas were from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Not Detroit or Motown. They were on this label called Smash.
Absolutely love his voice!!!
Such innocent lyrics...these days are a nostalgic memory. Fun,catchy and easy to dance to! Pure American Bandstand vibes...these one hit wonders are priceless . Thanks to the modern era time machine of RUclips...thanks.
12 years old when this came out. Still remember a great song!
This is my favorite song by Jay & The Techniques "Keep The Ball Rollin" .
I like how the drummer "Karl" made sure we knew his name!
Haha ☺️
I was at Ft. Jackson for Army basic training when "Karl" was drafted. Walsh (trumpet player) was also in my barracks.
This. Song. Should. Be. Played. Everyday. Just. Great. I. Wish. I. Could. Turn. Back. The. Clock.

😲 Good Song!
Check it out by Al Hirt played on trumpet!
@@mikecozzi1040
Thanks for that tip. I played trumpet in elementary thru junior high. Definitely checking that out.
@@ModSquads
😲Get your trumpet out and get the sheet music!
It will take a while if you haven't been playing and in about an hour or so you'll sound good! 🎺🎶
@@mikecozzi1040
😄😂 I hear you loud and clear. The lips just can't get in the higher register anymore. I may switch to the Baritone, lol
Right after a helping of apple peaches and pumpkin pie!
Which they also sang that night!
@@kevingoins9858 I’d love to hear that one!
@@kevingoins9858 Wow ☺️ I hope they upload that performance next 💞
Yes 🍎🍏🙌🏽🍑🥧💞‼️
my name is Jonathan R. Strausser. Back in 2007-2008, I started a "very small" album re-issue record label (if you want to call it that) called MIDGET RECORDS. I was going to re-issue the entire FULL albums/singles discography of my favorite artists. My first artist was going to be JAY & THE TECHNIQUES. Since I'm a Pennsylvania native myself, I said: "Why not?!" I've enjoyed their music since I was a little kid (in my 40's now). It was going to span their entire career from 1967-1975 or 1976 (I don't have the exact information in front of me @ the moment). Disc 1 was going to be entitled: THE ALBUMS, while Disc 2 was going to be entitled: THE SINGLES and MORE! (or something to that effect). It was going to feature ALL of their singles in mono and/or stereo plus their tracks for MOTOWN and several "never before released" unreleased recordings recently discovered @ the time (2007-2008) by Nicole Loi @ UNIVERSAL MUSIC in NYC.
As my life and luck have almost always ended on a low-point, my investor never came through with the funding, Jerry Ross wanted to sabotage the project by cutting the collection down to 1-CD (losing many tracks in the process) citing that my $19.98 price-tag was WAY TOO MUCH for a 2-CD set (however, when he made the CD deal with CHERRY RED/RPM RECORDS (@ my suggestion) shortly after my "proposed" collection fizzled out, he charged somewhere around $24.98 for a 1-CD collection (I had NOTHING to do with this part), plus, it had to be imported from the U.K.) and UNIVERSAL MUSIC kept raising the costs of everything on me. It amounted to @ or around $30,000 for about 10,000 2-CD sets. That was the bare-minimum I could purchase from them @ the time. I was getting in WAY-OVER my head. I dipped my feet in the water (so to speak) of the music world but found out very early that it's a cut-throat business. I'm glad I got out of it when I did before I started!
Don't get me wrong, I still like music but I'm very selective in my music tastes nowadays. I'd much rather prefer easy listening, soft rock or just simply rain and thunderstorm sounds. I still never got over this, it still bothers me to this day about not being able to release this collection. I feel like I let collector's, fans, and Jay Proctor himself down. Most of all...I let myself down. The UNIVERSAL VAULT FIRE probably destroyed most of the master recordings that were initially supposed to be on this collection. Had I released it initially, they would have been digitally preserved.
If there's one thing I've learned in my life it's this: "You can be the smartest man, know everything about everything...but without money or connections you get nowhere." (Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden)
I have loved this song since it came out on the 60s..I was 11...great memories from my youth
ME2
Man. They. We're. Good. Times. To. Live. Just. Fun.
Loved this when l was 4. I thought it was about bowling. 🎳 my sister always had her transistor with her. Love it!
I had a 14 transistor radio. I didn't know what this song was about. All I remember was "keep the ball rolling". I was 14 in 1967.
That’s awesome. I thought Ticket To Ride was about a Ferris wheel. Childhood 🤗
At age 7, I related it to kickball whenever there was a disagreement regarding someone being out or not.
"Hey y'all we gotta keep the ball rollin' "
I miss running while laughing (sigh). 😄
@@wantsomecoffee 😆
Karl Landis on drums. RIP John Walsh, trumpet player
We had the 45 record of this song when I was a kid and I listened to it all the time. I remember when my mom and dad wanted me to sit and watch Ed Sullivan one night and I was blown away when this song came on!! Happy memories! (I still have the 45)
This version is just 100 percent better than the record version,
I agree!
Agreed
I just love the acoustics the Ed Sullivan Show and Theater had from the mid 60's on. Made it sound like you were in an old cavernous arena.
They were lip syncing
@@giano56 not on that particular song!
Love seeing this. I bought Apple Peaches Pumpkin Pie as a kid and I would say that whole album still stands up as some terrific soul music from those days.
saw these guys live around 1969/70 , and they were great
The ES-345 and the EB-2 in similar finishes is just ICONIC.
Gosh, I'd all but forgotten this great song. I probably hadn't heard it in 50 years. I was 14 in 1967.
Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie.....
"Strawberry SHortcut" Was another good one that slightly charted
sorry about that
Had their “Strawberry Shortcake” 45 when I was 11-years-old!
SAW JAY AND COMPANY DO THIS SONG LIVE AT LC SUNDAY NITE DANCE IN 1967 !
I’ll always loved them & that song ! ❤❤❤❤❤
What year did this song cone out ?
Saw them performing on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City... I was a kid and still wondered why they were playing in the middle of the walkway when they were famous and on the radio. 😁
Man. They. Sound. Good.
Wow ✨ Fantastic 💙 Keep the ball 🏀 rolling baby, right into my heart 💖‼️
Damn I love this song.
Love it!!! 🎵🎤🎺🎷🥁🎸💃🏼
They were great good songs and beat
Bands of the mid-to-late 60s like Jay and the Techniques were pioneers. Those familiar with music history know that, even as late as the early 60s, combining races in music ensembles was strictly forbidden (that is, if your wanted to make money through public performances). Musicians of differing races who wished to play together -- and there were many -- did so behind closed doors and, usually, in the small hours, all to avoid detection. So, hats-off to these groups. They blazed a trail.
So GREAT! Today someone just said, 'Keep the ball rolling' to someone and I immediately thought of this song that I had long forgotten about!! I had to hear it when I got home. And It's my next dance song!!! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great song.
GO JAY.
Oh! I get the lyrics now. It's like "Come on Eileen" :)
Or the other way around!
@@kevingoins9858Most definitely, Jay did it first.
I use to play this great soul song on several radio stations I worked at between 1983-92. Music like this is so good and timeless!
You're not kidding. I try and send an oldie to my sister everyday and I recently sent this one. She didn't remember this one 😮😮. I was blindsided. Like you said.. timeless!!
A terrific track that failed to chart in the UK.
When you had to sing , move and be a "REAL" entertainer-no matter what YOUR race!!
I guess I might have been a teenager I have to see the year the song came out
@@bernardjeanmarie14 It was 1967.
Love it. Thanks!!
Love it Can he sing
Saw them at Grossingers Upstate New York in 1972. They were fabulous. They did Chicago copies also besides originals.
Heard it on WEEX Radio AM 1230, the Big X.
I forgot about this song
Classic 🔥
Keep the ball rolling, you got to fallow it through how can you expect me to get by, with just one little kiss..
The ball ain’t the only thing rollin
Lucky says something at about :28 like "get your ass out there".
Such a wonderful and memorable number
I remember this song. It was hard to rid it from the mind.
now my judge in hinds county
I was 4 going onn5 how can I forget all the kids play ball and tops
Horrible material for such a talented, self contained group with 2 very powerful front men, that said, Jay, Lucky, and horn section members Jon and Ronnie killed this on national TV. Reminds me of the Magnificent Men, a group with every solid component to get to the top.
Not a horrible melody by any stretch or concept for a song.
Musically it's kind of clever, doing two half-step key changes in the verse that take you seaimlessly back to the original key for the chorus.
great band
Lucky saying something to Jay at about :13 is funny. Those two were great front men, sadly, it did not last. Nice backgrounds by a young Melba Moore and Valerie Simpson.
Apple peaches pumpkin pies
Check out the video here outstanding
What happen to " half of the loaf isn't there and I am starving for you" summer returns and all the guys. "?????
Too "adult" for the Sullivan show, no doubt. Remember, he made Mick Jagger sing "Let's Spend *Some Time* Together".
Also the ride in the drum set looks like it’s made of ceramic , because it just doesn’t move...
Boagostodamuzica
Do jaja!
Interesting that they sing the first verse again instead of doing the second verse that's on the record. Those lyrics are a little more suggestive and were probably deemed too risqué to do on the Sullivan show.
I thought everything on Ed Sullivan was lip sinqed from the record but this sounds different.
NOPE. We did it live with the Ed Sullivan house band backing us up.
Terrific!!!!!!!
@@chuckcrowl908 Ed and CBS were smart to do it this way.
@@chuckcrowl908 Great to see you here! Seems some of the song's notes in the Sullivan version had different changes, true? The original's modulation and key structures were delightful & complex. Also, who were the females on the record, and at the Sullivan show? Thanks for the music & memories!
@@chuckcrowl908 who were the female vocalists who sang it live and where were they (obviously not on stage)? How far was your bass amp from you? Could you hear it?
these White Guys i knew was black when Listen on radio they play sax and late Clatence of Bruce Springsteen band took note
What's wrong with the jaw of the guy on the right ...it's just like there's no hinge there it's just like moving back and forth horizontally. 😨
Nothing at all. That's lead singer Jay Proctor and he's always sung like that.
That is the way the great Johnny Ray sang. Moving his jaws/ mouth sideways. He was deaf but such a singer/ actor too. Nat King Vole also did that jaw thing.
@@nancywood9531 I call it class!
@@ChristopherSobieniak you are so right Christopher. Many great male singers do that with their jaw. It must help them get the sound they are noted for. I mentioned a couple singers who were vastly famous who had that trait. Think Johnny Ray did it the most notable.
Black Pop act from the 60's, how about that.
Of course the female singers are invisible on this one. LOL
Yeah bummer. So they get no credit for doing a great job on the backup vocals 🙁
This was corny
Thanks for Sharing You WonderWorks!! :)
This comedy sketch comes to mind. considering my trying to be dominant in typical ways, then falling. is this the precipice. i realize im a forged stage,,, entirely an act.. no experience sharing fear to add to the problem... if we are on a slope in these ways, or precipice. once i exile for having been an act i leave benind.. the precipice. or alpha complex... & for not having shared my ways.. theres no recompense for precipice disorder.. with respects & to try to be silly:)
