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 not that the 60s were especially colorful, this was the era when most people had black and white TVs, so shows like this pumped color EVERYTHING as a way to convince people to buy new color sets and to make people glad that they bought them. The NBC peacock was nothing more than an ad for color TVs, and every show title sequence bragged "In Color" . . . As a result of seeing the colors like this, fashion designers splashed colors around in real life. Then, about 1972, people got bored with the circus colors, and they rapidly went away.

    @@EdKazO-Vision I am no boomer and know modern music is bland. Modern pop lacks depth of complex counterpoint, backup harmonizing, lack of good choruses, lack of creative guitar solos. 1960's music experimented with use of sitars, Hammond organs, harmonicas, theremins etc.. Plus analog sounds better. I am a musician and listen to recordings in detail and take note. The non musician also listens to details whether they are aware or not. Modern music lacks creativity instrumentally, lacks lyrical poetry, instrument diversity plus deficient in finding new beats and progressions that have not already been done long ago. The song in video is not so good by 60's standards.

    @@northernbohemianrealist1412 In the 1960's the US was not a surveillance state with cameras monitoring every move. Travelling on an airline did not require a person to be touched and scrutinized like today by far. College tuition and health care was significantly cheaper in relation to average wages than today. Less state sales taxes, many states had no titles to cars, no special recycle taxes for tires and appliances when purchased, houses were much cheaper in relation to average wages in the 60's than today, people didn't get fired for expressing themselves on their own time like today due to social media and cancel culture. No blaring hip hop boom boom from cars(the equipment did not exist nor was music recorded such a manner for music was recording more in the mid range spectrum), it was a quieter time(FACT). Over half of top rated pop songs were love songs which set the culture in a better demeanor. It was easier to start a business in the 60's with less regulations and sign restrictions etc..

I currently drive a 1969 Cougar convertible 351W 4 barrel and it looks and drives great and will be around another 50 years plus. We just put a 69 Mach 1 back on the road for cheap and it had been mostly parked since 1995, it drives and runs good(brother bought it in 1980). Go see how many 1960's Corvettes and Mustangs are out there still. I believe most Corvettes built in the 60's and 70's still exist. Big chuck of 60's cars still exist, they became collectible because of their beauty and have been shipped all around the world. Its cheap restoring and repairing 1960's cars and not so difficult because most engine compartments were not packed tight, cars back then were made to fix easily.

    Michael Bennett (April 8, 1943 - July 2, 1987) was an American musical theatre director, writer, choreographer, and dancer. He won seven Tony Awards for his choreography and direction of Broadway shows and was nominated for an additional eleven. Bennett choreographed Promises, Promises, Follies and Company. In 1976, he won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical and the Tony Award for Best Choreography for the musical A Chorus Line. In 1966 he staged this performance of Petula Clark's new hit "A Sign Of The Times" for The Ed Sullivan Show. You can spot him as the bearded dancer who, doing a head-pop of his own at one point, loses his cap.

    I had the privilege of doing stage security for a performance Petula Clark did 3 years ago here in Southern California. Definitely one of my all-time favorite shows in the 7 years I’ve worked this venue, and so great to see up-close. Even got to help her off the stage (not that she needed any help-she was still a powerhouse at 86). “A Sign Of The Times” has long been my favorite of many great Petula Clark songs that, for me, go all the way back to the iconic “Downtown”-when I was 7 years old. Petula’s voice is so incredibly bright, and clear, and pure. Crystal clear and sweet, yet powerful enough to match up perfectly with another classic Tony Hatch production-the booming drums, and those wonderful British Horns. Petula Clark-100% class and still pure joy to enjoy her music, all these years later.
