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.

She has at all stages of her career, what is most rare now: absolute poise and vocal support on every note. A joy to listen to!

A great coloratura.....still singing well ...in 1974!

[@Nemoxxx-c6u]

The true DIVA : class, poise, graciousness , crystal clear voice and still remarkable high notes

[@Shamsithaca]

amazing to hear this and julie andrews herself was singing this aria night after night at the London Hippodrome when she was barely a teenager. Such talent in people of yore. (although luckily for us Julie is still with us)

Some heavy lifting here. The coloratura borders on slovenly, the breath is short, the aspirates are present more than her norm. However, there is still the old charm in Pons' voice, the tone is crystal clear and bright, and the high notes are there, especially the one toward the end. She was a great singer and artist despite all her technical flaws.

[@jimbuxton2187]

..... which were minimal compared to some....

[@galanis38]

"All her technical 'flaws'"? Her technical abilities far exceeded whatever "flaws" and this shows finely here even at a quite late stage of her career!

[@rogerpropes7129]

She is 58 here. The young Callas said Pons sang off-key; Callas died at 53.

[@bauchmann9971]

Of course, if you compare with her younger voice, the agility is less, which is normal, but it stays on a high level

[@CBPCommunity]

The woman in the introductory photo, and in this clip is not Lily Pons. It is an edited fake.🙄
