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.

Never heard this song before but heard it first in the film 'Nobody'...Absolute class
Same
Same too 👍👍😎😎🇬🇧
yes it s a good song i heard for first time from nobody movie sountrack
Same Too... Mejor no pude haberlo dicho yo, de verdad quedo perfecta en 'Nobody'.
Sinatra Style :)
As successful as he was, I still don't feel like Lawrence got as much credit as he deserved. An amazing talent who took excellent care of his instrument throughout his entire career. RIP
If I was married to who he was I would take care of my instrument too. She was hot! 🔥 lol
right, i have never heard from him in Europe! first time now.😭
I always felt Steve's delivery and sound was so much more personable than Frank's. He sometimes seemed, to me, like Judy Garland was when she performed...almost as if a freak of nature - a song - is escaping from their body, and they're at its mercy!
@@lancerayburn4652 What an interesting way of putting it! Love it.
The talent pool of male singers during the late 50's and 60's was simply incredible. Mr. Lawrence was amongst that group.
Male singers today are talented too, they just don't USE that talent to its fullest extent (or even close) the way guys like Frank Sinatra and Steve Lawrence did! 😉
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 who?
@@not-so-smartaleck8987who today sings like they did?
How ‘bout Buble?
@@user-kl6ef1tn5gBublé is not good enough to hold this man's dressing gown
A very underrated singer.
I agree!!!! People don’t talk about him enough!
@@JessicaNaranjo4094 They did... a lot. He's a standard from the past Unfortunately, today's audience does not know real talent.
@@paulk9985 I may only be one person, but I’m 33 with a two year old daughter and a four month old son, and trust me, when they get a little older, I plan on introducing the likes of Steve Lawrence, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. to them so they’ll understand what true talent looks and sounds like. If it’s up to me, the truly great musicians will not be lost via the passage of time, music like this is timeless in my opinion.
@@johnselwitz5362 Don't forget Engelbert Humperdinck, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Tony Bennett, Matt Munro, Connie Francis, Patti Page, Petula Clark, and Karen Carpenter... to name just a few additional greats. I hope they learn to appreciate these folks. Your children will learn what quality is when they still hear these greats while today's "nobodies" fade away... quickly.
What a terrific performance, flawless voice, and a fabulous interpretation of this classic song.
lawrence originally performed the song for a broadway show, with sammy davis jr covering it the same year the musical premiered
RIP, one of the great singers of the 1960's and beyond.
Of all the versions of this song, Steve’s version is my favourite.
Me too! His wife Eydie Gorme (RIP) also was a great singer.
Sem dúvida nenhuma . Anos Dourados
Steve's version is the best
Mine too!
He introduced the song in the Musical "Golden Rainbow". @@ayosilva
As young teens, this style of singing was fantastically silly to us. This era of crooners was well on its way out…but it is powerfully nostalgic. I swear…I can smell mom’s dinner cooking!
RIP Mr. Lawrence. You will be missed. ❤
If you hear this song on a bus, you'd better hope Bob Odenkirk isn't also on it.
Acredito que sim. Amei essa encena no onibus
I think the greatest part of the The Ed Sullivan Show was his absolute variety of musical talents...where else could you see Steve Lawrence, The Beatles, The Mommas and the Papas, etc on the same stage...mind you at different years of course.
I've heard the song "I've Gotta Be Me" about as much as I've heard any song. This is one of Sammy Davis's signature songs but I've always felt that Steve sang it better and with more power. I just heard yesterday that Steve left us, and I started listening to his songs, and I cried because we've lost so many from yesteryear. When I was a kid, we'd see him on The Carol Burnett Show and Eydie Gorme, and he did comedy brilliantly. RIP Steve! ❤
Steve did good, Sammy owned this song.
@@mikebradshaw6484 Steve sang with more power
This song comes from the Broadway show “Golden Rainbow” which starred Steve (and Eydie), so Steve sang it first. In fact, he recorded it on a 45 before the show opened, doing it somewhat differently from how he did it in the show. But he apparently suggested to his friend Sammy Davis, Jr. that the song would have a lot of meaning for him, and it was a bigger hit for Sammy than for Steve.
Agree
There's a medley of songs done live by Steve and Sammy (at the Oscars?) here on CZcams. When this song comes up, there's a comically forced bit of rivalry between the two. Brilliant!
RIP Steve, now you and Eydie are singing together again.
Gorgeous singing. I completely believe him, that he means what he sings. Top-notch!
Steve was at the apex of vocal talent in an era of giants.
Absolute class that couldn't be touched today. This song reminds me of a time when my mother was still alive. Great times!
One of the greatest!!! He sings so effortlessly - and out comes this wonderful, mellow sound. Just love him!!!❤
Steve Lawrence was an excellent singer. The song he performed that I enjoyed the most was "The Drifter" from 1969.
Now Im listening to it! What a catchy chorus! Those trumpets are so refreshing! Thanks you
Sleep well with your wife. 10 years is a long time to go when you been married for 55 years 🕊💐🕊
RIP...we will miss you
RIP Steve Lawrence
What a classic, what a Hairline 👏
he sang from his soul not many can sing at this rang love the lyrics may he rip
An amazing singer!
His wife, Eydie Gorme, was also an amazing singer too! Im completely a fan of Eydie! So versatile both of them, true artists!
Both great friends of Frank Sinatra. Toured together towards the end of his life.
I can’t be right for somebody else if I’m not right for me…. So true
RIP 3/724 Steve Lawrence, thanks for you lovely music!
I think my nephew Lolo looks like him. He's a very good-looking dude. I remember him and his wife, but I was very young and they were seemingly old already. Rest in peace, ol' boy! 🎉
I love this song so much. A voice you can actually listen to and get goosebumps.
R.I.P. O’Great One🙏🏻
Steve Lawrence is
AWESOME⭐️💎❤️
Please God, open that door.
He did today,, 😢
Totally watching the movie NOBODY and needed to keep this song in my life lol
Rest in Peace 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
RIP, Steve. Thank you for the music and the memories.
He has a great voice!!!
This song gives me hope not to give up. Thank you so much.
This man had great pipes.👏
That voice, so smooth , so clear and crisp. What an amazing performance.
Just excellent. Doesn't get better . Great voice. Today's talent doesn't compare.
I just love him! A very talented actor, great singer with a golden
Voice
Steve Lawrence beautiful voice fantastic rendition ❤️❤️❤️
R.i.p steve!
Loved him when I was a kid. "Go Away Little Girl". Was one of my favorites. Still love it. He had a great voice!
Steve - and another underrated song 'n' dance man, Ken Berry - were always introduced by Carol Burnett as "one of my favorite" people! She often mentioned that she considered them as "semi-regulars" on her show...Steve was on 29 times, Ken was on 19. It's also been mentioned that his turn - and Tony nomination - in "What Makes Sammy Run?" was proof of his range of talents: singing, acting, comedy...all facets that made him a natural for the Burnett show! My favorite Stephen Lawrence songs? I Wanna Be With You (I melt!), and Twas the Night Before Christmas (makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!). Many more songs, if I think too long about it! LOVE me some Steve Lawrence. Wasn't the handsomest of men, but his presence, smile, and personality made him GORGEOUS!!
This song speaks for me as a statement. To me this is the Best version as song by one of my best performers. Charming handsome man on stage with a big smile meant a lot to my spirit and attitude in life. Attended his shows on stage specially at Harrah's several times with pleasure. He left a long lasting impression with this and all other songs and TV comedy appearances of reminding the 'joy of living'. Wishing better health to my dear friend Steve. I will keep listening to these songs as long as I live.
me too.
He has a GOLDEN VOICE, a Versatile entertainer who carries almost all the qualifications of the greatest entertainer. All his music I can say a piece of music to the ear. I love him dearly
A sure thing. The singers from the past when he or she sang, they sang with such class and dignity that were matchless today. ❤😂
Rest in peace
I wish those melodious days are back . 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Thank You Steve R.I.P
최고라는 말이 부족해
Just the greatest talent
R.I.P. ❤❤
same here, heard first time in the movie NOBODY... very touching.
He sounds like Frank Sinatra in his low register, Dean Martin in his middle register and Sammy Davis Jr in his high register.
Sprinkle a little bit of Tony Bennet in there.
ICON 👏
I believe that Steve sang this before Sammy Jr. got hold of it. Both versions are magnificent! Rest in peace, fellas.
I love this man. He was my favorite since I was ten years old. His voice was very calming to listen to.
Never have I stopped 🤔🫢😏
Grew up watching/listening to fabulous voices like Steve Lawrence. I became a singer/actor because of entertainers like Mr. LAWRENCE !!
What a wonderful song.This is the version of the film Nobody .I like this much better than the Sammy Davis version .
Yes me too :)
No one can ever be compared to Sammy Davis jr.sammy was in a class by himself.
Nice voice ... Beautiful song!
Thank you for sharing! 💖
This is the most meaningful song i ever heard
I will never get tired listening to this song
Sang by Sammy Davis Jr
And steve Laurence
Gotta agree, for some reason, the lyrics reach my core. Incredibly powerful to me.
The lyrics have reached my core since I was a kid. This song is so majestic and with Steve's voice even more so!
❤😂🎉🎉❤ música lindíssima boa gosto
One of a kind, never see the likes of Steve again, magic.
Gorgeous man with a Big Beautiful voice. I love his version of the song better. Powerful!
Consummate performer….and that voice!
Tony Clifton brought me here! Steve had a attitude and sang like Sinatra
Absolutely amazing voice. True classic.
Wow! Just wow!
RIP Steve Laurence
I was around 7 or 8 when I saw him on the Ed Sullivan Show and I fell instantly in love! I was never the typical girl - the Beatles did nothing for me - lol! I always gravitated to this music and Steve Lawrence was like the ultimate Prince Charming in my young mind! Such an enormous talent!! RIP...
Rip steve
A lovely voice with a unique singing style
Absolutely
He and Eydie are my favorite singers of all time! ❤
WOW!!!! How good was that.
AGREED❗️💯 ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
fantastic what a voice
Perfect song for Nobody, Equalizer, John Wick. I gotta be me. I Cant be right for someone else if i am not right for me.
this song reminds me of My Way
Great song
R.I.P, great voice.
RIP Steve Lawrence 🙏
I like this.
Sammy Davis, Jr.'s interpretation of this song is also a classic.
I like Sammy Davis version
Steve introduced this song in a Broadway show of which he was the star. Steve is also the one who told his good friend, Sammy, about the song, telling him he should record it because it is so HIM. That's the kind of man Steve Lawrence is, & I'm happy to say I've been lucky enough to have personal insight on the subject. 😀❤
Sing like this and so handsome
Outstanding 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
great job Steve Lawrence
Tremendo... Que maravilla
R.I.P.
Brilliant voice. Enjoyed it...
This beautiful song is from the musical " Golden Rainbow " 15 Jan 2023 11.50 p.m.
9th June 2023 ❤ Life song!
Steve Lawrence was underappreciated as a crooner. Best memories I have of him are appearing on the game show Tattletales with his wife Eydie Gorme, Bert Convy hosting. And really, that is sad. He could sing!
RIP Steve Lawrence
I had heard his name but never knew what an amazing performer
I suppose in Britain we had Matt Monroe
🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️👍 👍 🙏🙏🙏🥲🥲
To me, this is the best rendition of this song.
He sings this song every bit as good as sammy Davis junior
Lovely voice!
This beautiful song is from the musical" Golden Rainbow" 20 July 2022
¡Qué voz ¡ había oido otras canciones de este cantante pero aquí se luce la voz y su expresion en forma sorprendentemente por qué no llego a ser uno de los grandes ¡qué misterio¡... aunque por momentos parece frank sinatra......................de chile
Very good .
What a voice
Sing it , Steve!
Nobody and Steve Lawrence is a very good mix!
