    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.

    Very well done. And very high praise at the beginning from Ed.

      Not very complimentary to the other female opera singers he had on the show before her. But Miss Verret is certainly among the best.

      I agree. I just left a comment at the top of the page.
      (We both misspelled her name. You left the final letter "t" off of her last name, and I discovered I had misspelled her last name as "Verritt" and had to correct it.🫤😟)

    Lovely voice! This appearance took place soon after Shirley's debut with the Metropolitan Opera the previous year.

    I thought I might be in store for another aspirin session when opera was mentioned at the beginning of the video. But not this time! What a pleasant voice.

    Hit the notes on the beat. Sounds simple enough, but always refreshing to actually hear it done! And done well.
