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.

Wonderful! There's just not enough Carol Haney to watch on RUclips.
What a talented woman! Wish I’d discovered her so much sooner!
Carol would leave us just 8 short years after this performance…Such a talent!
That's sad. She was a really talented lady.
Electrifying! One of those performers you just can't take your eyes off of! Such a great talent gone too soon.
Carol Haney was a dancer/choreographer who worked with Gene Kelly on some of his most famous films. She won a Tony award for starring in "The Pajama Game" on Broadway, and sadly passed away at the age of 39 from pneumonia after battling diabetes and alcoholism.
Thank you for sharing! What a sad and tragic ending. Way too young. Have a Peaceful Evening! 💖
@@that70sgirl90 I agree, quite sad! Gene Kelly tried to help her out by getting her bigger roles in movies like "Singin' in the Rain" but MGM kept saying she wasn't attractive enough which is really sad. Gene was a real gentleman and kind person.
@TomElvisSmith It is sad! It shouldn't be based on someone looks. It should be about their talent.
Thank you for the rest of the story. 💖
@@that70sgirl90 You're welcome! Thank you for caring, as always! :)

Just delightful!
I thought at 1st it was going to be a remake of Petuela Clark's Downtown, but it turned out to a quite entertaining presentation. Thanks for uploading.
very artistic, good sense of rhythm, lively face, charming dimples on her cheeks. Thank you.
Wonderful performance. Loved the way she danced! Thank you for sharing this, God Bless You & stay safe.
This was wonderful! Thank you for the upload. DA
Really nice
Reminds me of Carol Burnett
Gene Kelly wanted to cast her in Singin' In The Rain but MGM insisted on Debbie Reynolds
Definitely not the song made famous by Petula Clark. 🙂 I like that song better.
makes sense...its a better song. This one's weak.
Not in any way a comparison.
This Ed Sullivan clip from 1956 is OBVIOUSLY not the 1964 song written by Tony Hatch and popularized by Petula Clark. Carol Haney is a great dancer and performer. You can look up the Sullivan performance of Downtown very easily.
Interesting
By 1956, she was suffering from serious stage fright. You can tell she is very nervous during this performance.
Thanks - I thought it was just me, as something is off in this performance 😳
Didn't help that she was told -- while she was at MGM w/Kelly -- that she wasn't pretty enough to be a movie star.
You sure about that? She won the Tony award just a year earlier in 1955 and appeared often on Ed Sullivan during this period.
Choreography is an uneasy blend of 'rubberlegs' eccentric and Fosse-esque stylized strutting. It pleads for audience approval in a way the great movie dancers (except, sometimes, Vera-Ellen) never did.
Carol had the gamine jolie-laide looks and coiffeur of a Caron or Maclaine, but her assumed air of bombast contradicts them. She is too strong to affect little-girl, waifisb ways. The routine is a shapeless perambulation of the stage, on the flat. It becomes irritating bc one is aware of how much more she could be doing if given star treatment and resources in an Arthur Freed movie.
But she never was. She dwelt under the shadow of two misogynist bullies, Fosse and Kelly, and Hollywood gave up on the musical- Broadway-adapted road shows apart- while Carol's generation was flowering.
Besides, it was a mistake for her or any lady to don top hat and tails and awake memories of Eleanor Powell: the dancer who above all had made the system serve her genius.
Oh please stop
There really were some awful acts on this show! Just my opinion but there were far more deserving acts.
I barely made it through this video. It was just awful. On a scale of 0 to 10, it was a zero.
Cringe-inducing. The backup singers were better than Carol’s performance
