We finally got our big break when Ed Sullivan put us on his show.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Ed Sullivan will be around as long as someone else has talent.
I did the Ed Sullivan show four times. I did the Steve Allen show. I did the Jackie Gleason show.
My thinking was scrambled when Sullivan and I separated. Something happened to me that had never happend before. I couldn't cope. It was heartbreak time. I thought it was the end of the world.
When Elvis made his mass-media debut on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' - his notorious gyrations filmed only from the waist up - I fell off the family chaise longue with delight.
I grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.
The Dave Clark Five had more appearances on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' than The Beatles.
We were big Saturday Night Live and Eddie Murphy fans.
And I was booked once to go on 'Ed Sullivan' and I got bumped and ran out the back door crying.
I couldn't do 'The Ed Sullivan Show.' Ed said I was a flash in the pan, and he was right.
I was dreaming I was on the Sullivan Show.
