    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.

      I've yet to see one complete show. Was it like Johnny Carson. It was essential as a band in or singer to be on it for America's approval & even the Beatles & to be fair he must have hated some bands like the Who but he allowed them on.

      Agree ! Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen were extremely important to the early Bee Gees sound, Vince also sang lead vocals on the Bee Gees album "Idea" track "Such A Shame". Had the 5 piece Bee Gees group been able continue, the Gibb brothers were also writing songs for Colin Petersen to sing !

    This was an eye-opener for me. I knew the Bee Gees only as a disco band until my freshman year in college when one of my dorm-mates happened to be watching a "Best of Ed Sullivan" retro show, and this sequence appeared. With their elegant appearance, the row of violins, the French horn, and a very young and fresh-faced Barry Gibb, I couldn't believe this was the same band that had brought us the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack. The Bee Gees really knew how to reinvent themselves according to the times and go full force with any musical style. Thanks for posting. Rest in peace, Maurice, Robin and Andy.

    The other thing about Barry Gibb, he has that charm and stage presence in anything that he sings and wears on stage that is effortless. This man could come out performing in a hefty bag and I still would think he's sexy. Then all the fuss on the Saturday Night Fever album seems to overshadow all of the other great albums they put out before and after. The Bee Gees were so much more this one album. I wish critics would stop pigeonholing the Bee Gees as a Disco group. I like the fact that they can have funk, soul, R&B, soft rock and country songs all on one album. Examples of this are albums Main Course, Children of The World and Spirits Having Flown.

    I was born the same month/year as Barry. We are both hanging in there. Great song. I just finished listening to Robin's performance of Massachusetts. And next is "Alone" from 1997. So many great songs by the Bee Gees. I was still in Vietnam when he performed this song on the Ed Sullivan show but I was a short-timer marking my calendar.

    I love Barry's natural voice. And perfect teeth! So good looking.

    Every time I see Barry when he was this young it amazes me again how much he and Andy looked so much alike.

      Barry has said that he and Andy were as much twins as Robin and Mo were.

      They sure do & sound alike. Only 1 brother left...just too sad to think about so I just listen to the past.

      Yeah, I like their form. And they have that youthful way of showing the upper teeth.

      I can't believe I wasn't a fan back then I really missed out on this dreamboat.

      Bel vocal del più giovane Bene Gees

      @bethtaylor3004 I was born in 1970 and I didn’t pay attention to them either back then. How I so wish I had, now. I’ve always liked their songs, however.
