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.

My dad played accordion and just loved Dick Contino.
Fantastic
This channel began in 2009 and I've been checking FOR YEARS ... patiently waiting for Dick Contino to be featured ... and now after all these years, this is the 3rd video I've seen. ONE of these 3 videos was public AT FIRST and then changed to UNLISTED !! Why ? I still have the link and view it from time to time. Dick was one of Ed's favorite performers ! MORE Contino please ...
The Shmenge brothers would enjoy this.
He's sensational on that accordion!
Fantastic dancing, awesome outfits!
Happy Wednesday... thank you for sharing! 💖
Go boy! Great accordion work. And go girls! Groovy choreography.
Thanks for this..unique (?) accordion jam fest on Ed’s show…I wonder what Bobby Gentry thought? He was an excellent accordion player.
Have a great day!
I don't know why all these old Dick Contino videos have started surfacing, but I'm here for it. Keep them coming, please.
Nicely done, and colorful. 🙂
Myron Floren kills this tune.
Nothing like a jaunty interpretation of a song about suicide.
On New Year’s Eve, yet’😅
James Ellroy wrote a novella called "Dick Contino's Blues" about Dick tracking a killer. Go read it.
I never knew Daddy-O was on the Ed Sullivan show.
Dick appeared 48 times on the show and this channel has featured just a few of his appearances. His first appearance was in 1950 and this performance in 1967 was his final performance. Ed LOVED Dick ...
He's so into it, love the dancers, too.
Yeah, but can he play it on bagpipes
😂😂😂!
Puxa esse fole gaiteiro
Keep these Vedieos Coming Love it
At least it wasn't "Lady of Spain" 🤣
Ha ha ha!!! 🪗
Dick played - Lady of Spain - on his FIRST appearance on the show in 1950 ...
Oh behave!
big Pat Boone Sings Little Richard! energy
fab player, no mistaking that, but what an awkward song choice 😅
Slight disconnect between that dude's attitude and the song he's playing.
As an Istrumentalist our song choices are not necessarily based on lyrics. I rarely choose a song because of the lyrics. Look at it this way ... the lyrics are only meaningful if in a language you understand... if not, all you have is the melody. Do you think Jazz players are strictly thinking lyrics when performing a 6 minute improvised version of a 2 minute song ? Dick saw this as a cool melody that he could groove to with his squeeze - box !
I disliked these cornball cover numbers in my youth. Now, I appreciate the skill that goes into them --- but geesh.
Yikes!😱
No.
