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.

It's amazing this was just five years after The Beatles made their premiere on The Ed Sullivan Show -- in that short time this and dozens of other songs they had written had already become standards. While I was anxious about watching this (fearing the worst), Joel Grey performs this absolutely perfectly. I'd imagine this is the sort of performance young Paul envisioned taking place on a West End stage when he dreamed of writing musicals in his pre-Beatles days.
This is surprisingly really good, I love how he's basically doing this in character as the Cabaret emcee!
Joel is 91 now! In a few years, "When I'm Ninety-Four" will work.
Yeah, that song's right in his wheelhouse. Great that this performance was captured.
Future Academy Award winner. 🙂
I saw him in person at Westbury Music Fair in a revival of Cabaret, a long, long time ago. 😊
It is never a cakewalk to cover a Beatles Song. And, this number was quite noteable on the greatest album of all time - "Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Joel Grey nails this, and, he actually makes the song 'his'. What a treasure we have in Joel Grey.
Joel always gives a great performance! I love the set and costumes! I like how he doesn't just sing this song, but plays a character while doing so. I hope you will also post his great George M medley on here someday which is a real show-stopper! Thank you for this video!
That was EXCELLENT . LOVED EVERY SECOND
Fabulous Entertainer !!!!!
A true monster of the scene and a living legend of musical theater. He is one of the few actors who have won Tony and Oscar for the same role (unforgettable as Emcee in Cabaret)...

He was born for the theater, a really great performer!
A great song-and- dance man!
Delightful Performance! 🩷 Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Nice performance! Love the set design, costumes as well as the wonderful dancers!!
My introduction to Joel Grey was actually through a movie character that fooled my 80's childhood! A gem from 1985 titled... REMO WILLIAMS: THE ADVENTURE BEGINS. You're probably thinking: THAT ACTION FILM WITH FRED WARD? WHERE WAS JOEL GREY? I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING HIM IN THAT! Actually, he played a role that wouldn't happen in today's entertainment world. Remember Chiun, the Korean martial arts teacher? Yup, that's Joel Grey in yellowface. Food for thought...😂❤

Thanks I have to go get REMO WILLIAMS , AGAIN !!!!!!!
great song love this Evey much
People on the Ed Sullivan sang a song, live before an audience. Today, there's a lot of dubbing and voice alterations with electronic devices.
JR's so-called 'guardian angel' from the final episode of Dallas.
The Great Gatsby (1974) vibes here..
For all you Gen X's and younger boomers, Joel Grey is Jennifer Grey's (Dirty Dancing, Red Dawn) father!

Looks like Elton john
Meanwhile that same year, in Cielo Dr. California, Manson’s followers write in blood on one of Polanski’s walls “Helter Skelter” after their horrific crime. And Joe Cocker covers “With A Little Help from my Friends” in Woodstock Festival as a celebration of peace, love and understanding among people of all colors, age or religion. The Beatles: the greatest band over the world.
Jennifer grays father ( dirty dancing )
What's this "When I get older losing my hair" jazz? I turned 64 last year and I still have all my hair and nary a grey. Maybe it's because I still listen to rock and roll everyday. "Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could ask for more?" How about me? Digging weeds sucks.
Curious choice to recast a silly 1967 song into a sillier 1930s song.

It was a silly 1930s song even when Paul first wrote it.

Delightful 1967 song which reflects the versatility of the writers influence and range of thought. Quite interesting cover of the song. I love it. Ed Sullivan was an incredible show and I’m reminded of this almost daily with the release of these performances.

Honey Pie from the white album also had 1930s vibes… the boys from Liverpool switched it up
So unnecessary.
This is blasphemy, Ed Sullivan made a mistake with this sketch. He didn't even sing the lyrics correctly.....😮
