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.

Tommy should be in the Hall of Fame... It is such any easy call to make ..
This was a No 1 in UK for weeks in '68. Superb.
Ed and Tommy hit it off so well that he was invited back. Tommy James is a living legend.
Tommy told me at his second Ed Sullivan appearance in 1969 or 1970, after he sang “ball of fire”, Ed Sullivan got on the podium to talk with him and nearly fell off. Tommy saved the day by grabbing the back of his jacket to prevent Ed from falling off the podium live on TV
@@michaelrochester48 - I believe it was June of 1970 when they performed the amazing songs, "Ball of Fire" & "I'm Alive". With any luck, this channel will show those videos as well because the set was colorful & psychedelic.
Wow!!! That was sooo cool!!
@@michaelrochester48 Great story, thanks for sharing that. I saw him perform in 2019, and got to meet him afterward... Great guy. 😊
Tommy James was a brilliant and humble guy. Mony Mony had it all...the voice, the melody and the arrangement I'm so glad this rendition from the Ed Sullivan show is available on RUclips. ❤
He’s not dead?
@@1000BT LOL No, he's not dead.
The 60s were awesome. I wasn't born yet, but Billy Idol's cover in the 80s is one of my favorites. Shoutout to Ohio for this jem.
Love these guys!! They and Paul Revere & the Raiders are probably the two most underrated (underappreciated?) bands of the 60's.
Fabulous, the best of times back then.
Definitely! 👍🏼
Happy Birthday Thomas Gregory Jackson (born April 29, 1947), known professionally as Tommy James 🎉
Posted on Tommy James' birthday, April 29. Happy birthday, Tommy!
Classics never get old just better.
Ed was so good to all the young kids who played on his show. 👍 🎶
Except Buddy Holly. Ed hated him.
@@ohioproud
And Jim Morrison!
Jim Morrison would disagree
@@ohioproud Why didn't he like Buddy?
What you talking about, he was rude, mean!
What a fantastic voice, and this always takes me back to my childhood in North London 😢ah the memories ❤
The UK was a great place to be in the 60s wasn't it? My childhood was in Derbyshire, but this song has the same effect on me - it takes me right back to those innocent, carefree days of the 60s when the sun always seemed to be shining!
Love sixtys Rock and roll
My favorite song by the group.
STILL listening in 2023! Love, LOVE, this Group!
Wow!!! That was awesome!!! I can't stop watching this...wow!!!
Tommy James and the Shondells were a hugely successful group, many number 1 hits.
A song about an insurance company! Tommy James was stuck for a title of a new song he had written with Ritchie Cordell. Stepping outside, he saw a sign atop the Mutual of New York Insurance Company building which spelled out MONY in red letters. The only song named after a stock symbol 😊.
The sign is still there!
Criminally underrated artists. Turned down Woodstock to relax in Hawaii. Crimson and Clover & Cellphane Symphony are as good as anything that came out in 1969. Give them a listen if you haven't heard them.
Can you imagine turning down Woodstock like that? What a blunder!
I definitely have! I discovered their song “Gettin’ Together” during a very difficult time in my life and quickly became a fan 🙂
I’ve read Tommy James autobiography, and to me it seemed like he turned it down because he didn’t think a concert in Upstate NY sounded appealing when he was in the midst of a Hawaii vacation.
I’m sure he would’ve went and done his show if he’d known the impact that Woodstock would have in history.
@@mattezhackblip Great book! There was supposed to be a movie made about Tommy's life, but it never happened unfortunately.
This Song & The Band Rock!!!!!
I met him, a nice guy, and his book is fascinating about how the mafia ran roulette Records
"Me, the Mob, and the Music: One Helluva Ride with Tommy James"...Thanks for the reminder. Highly recommended, great insight into that era...
I met him too and got him to sign the book after a Las Vegas show.
Hey I’m from Niles Michigan nothing wrong with that at all Tommy 😉
Great band with many big hits!
I've never seen it before. It's just great.
One of the many bands of the sixties I was fortunate to see in the Shower of Stars in Birmingham Alabama 😁
I danced to this at a sock hop in junior high school
An awesome classic of the 60s
Tommy just wrote and played Great Songs the Band was tight ! One of my favorites
One of the things I remember most was dreaming of having one of those beautiful guitars. Mine was from Sears. And I had to beg mom for it.
Great old days. Wouldn’t mind going back a time or two!!
They made songs that would be hits in the 80s! great band!
I say yeah , yeah
So this is the original!? I like it.
My Youth - nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tommy James looking a lot like Roger Daltrey in this video.
Back in the day when everybody like the same song at the same time
You're right Ralph. ^^
nothing better than the original band
Great tune
Living Legend!
Billy Idol’s remake was a #1 hit.
And Tiffany had a hit with I think we’re alone now in the same year!
Thank you so much !!!
Спасибо.
Seemed like almost all of that was pre-recorded audio. I didn't see any audio cables plugged into the electric guitar and bass, and saw no microphone or audio cables hooked up to the keyboard. @1:18 you hear piano break, but nobody is playing keyboards at that time. Unlike this video, most other musical performances on the Ed Sullivan Show featured live audio.
atrocious lip synch... just awful. And completely disrespectful to the audience...
It's probably a backing track to give the performance a bit more umph.
He did lip syncing on Dick Clark's show also. I'm not sure if it was Dick Clark's show, but I'm pretty sure it was. He was doing "Draggin the Line", he played an acoustic guitar when clearly the opening of the song is with an electric bass and/or an electric guitar. Either way it wasn't done with an acoustic anything.
The Mamas And Papas lip synced California Dreaming. Michelle is eating a banana during her vocal parts.
He Belongs in The Hall.!!!
Man the clothes and hairstyles 😱 Gotta ❤️ It
Started as a teen band in Niles, Michigan!
Holy Jesus. This actually sounds live and not playback. Unreal performance.
It’s not it’s literally identical to the recording
I think it's playback.
@@miguelangelolmo5335 Yes, this is definitely a lip-sync pretend to play performance. 😊
It's lip synced...Guitar and bass aren't even plugged in!
Great band though!
@@petecampbell6117 Yeah, either they thought we were too stupid to notice (back then) or, Gee , did they have wireless guitars??
'Cool'!! Great song, 4 sure!
Tommy and Daltrey were very look alike!
I wish they had shown more of Mike Vale, on the top platform, more.
Красавчики!!!!!

Tommy James I Should Be a Huge Fan
of You and I'll Send 40 Red Hearts for You
Saw him at a club in Hollywood in ‘74, but sadly they didn’t do this song
This must her Tommy's Roger Daltry phase.
My dad/brother had another need , so he would come back and make my mom give him MONY MONY for that need.
Gone too soon...Uncle Peter!
Just throwing this out there......if there was a biopic about Tommy James, I could see Simon Helberg playing him ( except the height ).
He looks like Roger Daltry.
much LOVE Kimmyssong
I found one thing somewhat strange. Ed comes on introducing the group having the number one song in the country "Crimson and Clover" and then the play "Mony Mony". It seems strange he wouldn't have them sing "Crimson and Clover". Usually that's what he does. My guess and its just a guess, is that Ed wasn't very fond of the song "Crimson and Clover" as it sounds very psychedelic. Something Ed would more than likely veto. He was notorious for having groups change words to songs because of what they implied. So my guess is, he couldn't change "Crimson and Clover" enough to satisfy his filter so he vetoed the song completely, and had them play, "Mony Mony". Just a guess but I bet I'm not far off.
They did "Crimson" after "Mony". Today hey posted the complete medley but without the interchange with Ed.
...and I thought all guests on the Sullivan show had to sing live ???
I say ya yq ya
Tommy James connections to " the Mob" were well known.
Did they really mime on the Ed Sullivan show??
First time I've seen this. I really thought bands had to play live
How could TOMMY & THE SHONDELLS not be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, The Grassroots. Johnny Rivers, Neil Sedaka while they make Iggy Pop a member. Rock & Roll Hall Of Shame is what it is. A Total Joke.
I miss my Uncle Peter so much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. With all the ass----- in the world...
Lips syncing not plugged in b.s.
The downside of the Beatles success for other bands was getting prominence
Sad this band is not in the RRHOF....Joan Jett is?
Isn’t that the shirt they used on Seinfeld?
Wonderful but terrible that they had to
perform a shortened version.
The other guys weren't even given a microphone to fake sing into.
I like the 1980s version of this song by Billy Idol.
they aren't even plugged in lmao..
Hit after hit, yet not in the HOF??? .... But the "Sex Pistols" are?
Tommy's hair ain't big enough tho
WHAT on earth is a “Shondell”?
From Wikipedia:
In 1963, Tommy Jackson changed the name of his high school band from "Tom and the Tornados" to "The Shondells" in honor of one of his musical idols, Troy Shondell. Jackson rechristened himself “Tommy James.”
Shondell had a huge hit in 1961 with “This Time,” but he never had another chart success.
@@robertwebb3546 - Whoa! Thanks, one of those “Gotta Google that someday”...but I knew it would never happen!
So many stories like this about people and places I grew up with but never asked!
Iron Butterfly’s 1960’s hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” was supposed to be "In The Garden Of Eden." but drummer Ron Bushy wrote it down as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" because he couldn't understand what vocalist Doug Ingle was singing. Their record company was OK with the title because it it sounded exotic with an Eastern spiritual quality which was big at the time, with The Beatles going to India and The Rolling Stones experimenting with Indian instruments.
Well, I never discover anything first so YOU probably already knew that!
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 Christopher, early in my career, I pitched an idea to my boss, who was the head of HR. I had no HR background; I’m a writer who ended up in corporate communications. I suggested that instead of allowing people to take their week of vacation early in the first year of their employment, the days should be prorated. Jerry laughed and said, “Robert, that’s accrual.” I thought I’d stumbled upon something innovative, but it was a well established concept. Because Jerry was a good man and a good boss, he encouraged me to always explore ideas…but research it to see if it’s a new idea or just new to me. You’re intriguing af, btw, definitely more so than Iron Butterfly. 🙂
How sad that this was lip synched.
pfff play back at ed sullivan show ??? shame !
I hate to say it but this feels a little sloppy compared to Billy Idol's cover, not as refined.
