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.

Rod had the misfortune of his song from the movie, "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie", being released in the same year as "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" from Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Therefore, the 1969 Academy Award for Best Original Song went to Burt Bacharach/Hal David instead of himself. Should have been a tie as Rod deserved it as much.

Aaron Freeman is a genius.

In my opinion this is a prime example of the worth exceeding the sum total of the parts. The song is an okay melody with pretty basic lyrics, and McKuen is only a barely passable singer. Yet there is an earnestness in the intent, and in Rod's performance, which resulted in one of the all-time great love songs. A masterpiece which defies all odds.
