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.

@@user-qp3nd5tn1lwell, let's not have ANY OTHER MUSIC besides what YOU like! You must be really busy if you post negative comments on everything you don't like!
I love these old live performances. No crazy lights, or choreographed dancers, or backing tracks or even metronomes. Just four well dressed guys with their instruments and voices making great music.
That's so true ! I can't stand today's circus 🎪 in the music industry and sports too. Authenticity was the hallmark of that era.
Back when musicians had class, grooming, style and TALENT....pretty much illegal these days, since we see so much more 🤬Negative traits, from the top on down
Not quite - no crazy lights etc. And not a single live note from any of them - look at and listen to it carefully, and all will be revealed.
Just pure straight rock n roll.rock on
Miming.
People who were young teens in the sixties be proud. You lived an existence that future generations can only wish for.
I agree!😊
Everyone of them is good looking
In 1964 I was 12 thinking I was going on q6. Yep! Same haircut lol
* 16( darn phone
I was and we had THE BEST music! 😊
Great era. Straight on great music. No fancy light shows to distract. No computers to adjust sound. No stupid theatrics. Just four great musicians with respectful clothes and super voices. The 60's had real talent. Hard working, decent, respected musicians. Conventional and standout models of proper behaviour.
100 PERCENT AGREE!!!
Halcyon days full of great music and hope. What went wrong?
I am 76 years of age. In my opinion, no band could do a song better than the Searchrrs. Their songs were done almost to the point of perfection. LOVE POTION #9 and Needles And Pins were great in the 60s and are still great today. Great sound!!!
Good music by a clean cut band. Unlike the freak shows of today.
Best comment! 😂
My parents didn't think so!
The sixties were such a special time
Indeed they were
I feel the same
Special, beautiful, and scary
Special = crazy and chaotic.
@@billl1127,
The drugs were the crazy part.

No lip sync, just pure talent. Song was written by Sonny Bono.
Gerry Marsden, the leader of the Pacemakers actually wrote the tune.
@@JSinMd Needles and Pins was written by Jack Nitzshe and Sonny Bono

73 years old and this song still gives me goose bumps
must of been great days my friend
I'm almost 40. Love this great old tune!
Me too! I'm 64.
No way this is 73 years old. It would have had to come out in 1948. This was released in 1964. 57 years more like
@@dennismunday7467 I am 73, not the song from 1964.
There will never again be melodies and lyrics like the 60s . 💗😭
From 1940 until around 1967 there was great music, Then music began to go into a dark direction, Now look at what they call music in 2020, YOU HAVE TO LAUGH. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ed Sullivan's show was on Sunday nights, passed by bedtime, BUT my parents let me stay up because of all the cool British bands!!
I think you mean "past your bedtime" not "passed your bedtime".
We will never recapture the splendor of the 50s - 90s again. 😢
Are you sure?? All that grunge garbage kicked off in the 90's ...
Believe it or not, the rhythm guitarist on this clip (John McNally) was a performing member of the Searchers for 60 years--1959-2019.
Pretty amazing.
What tha!!!!
Yes John Rokicki...He, along with John Lennon, were my rhythm guitar mentors/idols..Buddy Holly, too..But that was latter 50's. These guys definitely hat that "it" factor!! McNally and Pender, the lead guitarist went on years after trying to "carry on the mantle" of the group!!
Awesome!!!
John later reinvented himself as a lead guitarist.
Yeah it was certainly a generation, I enjoyed growing up it was when it ❄️ it REALLY snowed.and it was time in the 60 when love was all around, specially the music.
Back when you and your grandmother could watch Ed Sullivan and even if she didn't like the music, she'd say, "Aren't they nice looking boys!" Different times.
Lol. My grandmother would say...”them r cute boys” in her Irish accent.
No tv in my grams house. I doubt she seen one till she was in her 50’s, doubt she ever watched a tv program; if she did it was most likely she already had dementia and had no idea what was going on. Yes, true.
I used to hear "They would look so much better if they'd just cut their hair."
Spot On!😀
Ah the Sixties! When even the rock stars wore business suits!
The music of the "British Invasion" made being a teenager in the 60s a BLAST. I'm 73 and still love this
I'm 74 and the 60s were the best decade of music.
Music so good I dance and sing always
Brings back great memories of teenage years in the 60s. We were lucky to have been a teen in the 60s!!!
Grew up in the 60's and graduated in 64. The music groups could actually sing and harmonize.
keep snort'n Bobby Goldsboro - Honey, classic lyrics. Ane Ohio Express - yummy, yummy, yummy. words to live by.
Same year for me 1964 high school graduation & my brother 1966.
There are SOME beautiful songs and melodies today.
This is the great thing about the internet

That's what you call music 60s thank God I lived in that era the good days.
Love Potion #9. Needles and Pins. Really underrated! One of the best groups of the 60s. Great Harmonies. Absolute Legends!
Hello from Scotland 🏴 How are you doing today? I hope it's been a nice day? HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES 🎉🥳💖
WALK IN THE ROOM was even better - but I love Needles and Pins. Very close second.
After all these years I still adore this song.
Oh me 2. Almost 4gotten band.except by us fans. Of that era Underrated.
Same..think i was 7 when it came out..sittin outside singin it
Oh Yes!
SAME. ADORE IT....
Will someone please invent a time machine for dog's sake...
Needles and pinzah!
Agujas y pinzas ... in spanish 😉
Aye!
Oh I loved that song!!!!

@@kathrynsmith3501 ..So did I, big time, forever!!
All of them dressed classy and well groomed... What happen to the people and the music nowadays ...
That's what I like best about these 1960s bands, apart from the music of course. They all looked smart and professional.
Up until the 60's musicians had a strict style. However, in exchange for freedom and development, they lost order and dignity. The 60's is a watershed moment in music and an eternal milestone.
Everything was so much fun back then. Kids today dont know what they are missing!
I lived through the sixties now I’m in my sixties.....
I enjoyed the 60’s and now I’m in my 70’s.
I think it's a real privilege to have lived in the 1960s and remember it.
I'm in my 60s too. Enjoy it.
right and glad to be a witness to all the great songs and bands. im 66
The British Invasion! I remember the fabulous 60’s. I will never forget my high school years.
That was the real day the music died for the 1950 through 63 teens. I never cared for the British Invasion although I was 18 when it came in but it also was about the same time drugs came in and None of my friends were a part of the drug scene either. We still loved the old time rock and roll.
@@kathrynsmith3501 Good for you. The British invasion was a CIA psy-op, to pave the way for sex, drugs and rock and roll cultural revolution.
@@cue_khb
Cue? You mean Q? You sound like a Qcumber.
@@kathrynsmith3501 That’s what they said about late 1950s rock not being as authentic as early 1950s music
@@Dank_Dank It is something it'll repeat for a long time.
Imagine if in the 1890s people of that era thought music of the of 1900s was bad and don't know what kind of things.
The same is going to happen to us, to you and me. For God's sake, it's going to happen to ALL OF US
Absolutely adored Chris Curtis. The heartthrob of my teenage years. Was heartbroken when I heard he’d died. Very underrated musician. Rest in Peace my darling.
I hate that i was born in 2004 i wish i could be alive in these times when music was good and life was simple.
Sans Vietnam and the racial unrest, the 60s could've been the perfect follow up to the Eisenhower years...
Is that ever right. Would not be a young adult today.., all about Self, video games, and individualism. Not you, but you get the point.
Eh you had to worry about getting drafted n shit
Blessed to have lived through the 1960's..what a time to have been young! Love this song. 🌹🤗❤️
Yes, the 60s had it all, lucky us!
There's a small bit of envy I have in folks like yourself. The music was so wonderful from both the U.S. & the U.K.
Agreed !😊
I always think that without the Beatles America would have never heard great bands and songs like this from Britain.
I’m 14 nearly 15 and I love this type of music (50’s and 60’s)
There is simply no other era like the 60s for many reasons, especially musically!!
Wonderful to see Tony and Mike, the real Searchers!
If there not in the rock and roll hall of fame they should be
I searched for them and their not.
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music.. times when everything was much more relaxed. Big contrast to today's society...! "Needles And Pins - release: 1963" and still popular in 2023. The Searchers... pure youth sentiment...!
Totally agree 100%
Relaxed? Pretty music, but I don't see it as relaxed. Vietnam, weekly air raid drills, horrible times right after WWII and Korea...
Youngsters today have no idea how great our music was 😊
They were so talented and handsome!
Especially Mike and Chris!
What made the bands so great on the Ed Sullivan show was that they didn't lip sync.
California Dreaming. Only thing live was the last chord.
Yes and the Midnight Special show...loved that too..
Dave Clark 5 were never live.
I think Sullivan insisted that as many of the acts as possible perform live.
@@cllewis1 Chris, you are right, I believe...and stay within moral guidelines too!
every bit as good as the beatles a wonderful band from the 60s
This was the only song my elderly neighbor would ask me to blast on the speakers. Rest easy Rick. We miss you..
NEEDLES AND PINS-AH. What an extraordinary way to RHYME-AH.
What?? pins and begins rhyme naturally. The boys are just copying Jackie Deshannon's recording.
I AGREE-AH.
I find this performance absolutely perfect. Particularly impressive to me is the "crescendo" participation of Chris Curtis' drums that "tells" the full story . It seems I can't listen enough of it
Love the expert key changes.
@IrrelevantNuk1635 the only perfect song plus i will never find another you by the seekers
brian wilson quote
Chris was my dads uncle..
What drums? That ain't no Keith Moon.
@@Daniel-ts3uy sure, this isn't The Who either. But Chris was in my oppinion a relevant musician in the group during the short lived great success years the searchers had in the sixties
I truly love the 60's era.. they had the best band, singers. music lyrics of all time.. there will never ever be a time like the 60's decade.. when music was REAL music!!! I wish we had that music now In 2023 ..not that crap music they play nowdays..I really miss the good old gold music era!!!..at least we have youtube to listen to best music of all time ❤️🎶🥰
That drummer always makes me smile . He,s rearly into it !
Andrew i like your comment i feel the same as you , These handsome very smart guys were the bees knees of the 60s era xx i was their xx What a beno we had , i saw these guys a few years ago ,, not many of the original group , however they were splendid in every sense lol Jane xx
💞💞💞💞
He had the best hair too...
A precursor to the 70's "Dry Look"...🤣
Chris Curtis drummed and sang the highest harmony parts.
Classic pop... can change your mood
Nah. This is pure classic rock right here.
I think you're right... Keith Richards used to wear the same black resin, thick rimmed specs!@@beastbee0118
The whole group are tight, but the drummer is top notch, bravo, brilliant performance 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Also the only one in this clip without really ghastly teeth!
@@markwhitman9542
The old Colegate me thinks
Chris Curtis had a brother in the merchant navy who used to bring records back from America. This song was written by Sonny Bono and Jack Nietsche.
You are right about the drummer...what a style!
Yes, the drummer got sassy at the end!
Going on 77 years of age and this song was the first of theSearchers I remember and loved. I cannot stop watching their performances. The SEARCHERS; part of my teenage years. I remember having this song playing every day on the hit parade whilstI worked Afternoon shift. So sad that two members are no longer with us. Chris Curtis was quite the lad. Tony Jackson a great bassist.. I wish I had a time machine to go back to the days when this band played.
Love those tasty 5 stroke roll drum fills.
Chris Curtis.
I was thinking the same thing. Noticeably superior drumming
I'd give anything to go back to the 1970's. I can't stand 2021. It was a good time. Everyone was good. No evil. No perversion. No greed. No one was mean. We had morals. Ethics. We were wholesome. The perfect time to grow up.
Too True, then Margaret the Devil Thatcher said everything has a price, it's be going downhill ever since.
Dont you mean the 60's?? This song was realesed in 1964.
I saw on the ed selvin show.This was a good song and good band from england.👍
Great to see Tony Jackson in the band . After all these years I realised that the drummer was clicking his fingers and not just looking like an idiot .
This was a great group and they could really sing
The British had a knack
Get the Knack.
Never realize the music I grew up with I would be listening 50 years later. . .
I'm not going to lie, the only reason why I searched this band was because I'm a big Beatles fan, and in an interview from 1964 both John Lennon and Paul McCartney said that this was the band that they enjoyed listening the most, and now I can see why!!
Very cool! Love the Beatles too but imo this song is superior to anything they ever did.
Wow!! where can you find that interview?
@@donaldspring8408 🤔
Do you have a link to that interview?
Diego você parece com um dos Beatles
Another good song from the 60's.
These guys should have been more famous than the Beattles!
Stupid statement!!
This seems so much more "real" to me than the plastic, inauthentic culture and world we live in now.
One of the Best 1960s songs !! The only complaint is that songs were very short in those days!!
Hello Douglas, Agree with you, a unique sound in fact, gets better with age, strange sound, just pure Talent and Hard practice, you can feel something Different in this track! Regards.
They were short because there was limited time on top 40 radio and lots of records to be played. Extended versions of later years were album cuts. It's true that some extended versions were played on the radio like Safety Dance for example. The Wall and Nights Without Satin were better in the 4 minute version. The long versions just included shouting , sound effects and extended instrumental segments.
For real. I love the Dave Clark Five but their albums are so short, like 20 minutes long almost each
MUM AND DADS SONG - ABSOLUTE MAGIC
Back in the day if you made it onto Ed Sullivan you were considered to have made it
Always loved Needles & Pinza!
Just good time rock n roll when one song after another blared on our favorite TOP 40 Radio station through our transistor radios. It was a GREAT TIME!
The Late Tom Petty cites The Searchers as a major influence when he was kid.
One of the few times a group actually performed their song LIVE....no way can you match that drummer.
That drummer was Chris Curtis....the most talented musician on the planet. He sang high harmony, composed, and was, the leader until he left the band. Such an incredible sense of humor! ❤️❤️ RIP dear Chris.
@@cherixbiggs5819 Didn't know he was the most talented of all of them. I've held thim all in very high esteem, with the Beatles, Hollies , Who, Gerry & Pacemakers. .Didnt know he has passed on. Such a loss. They were a great Liverpudlian band, some of my heroes!!
@@cherixbiggs5819 Plus he helped form the band which became Deep Purple.
His real name was Chris Crummey! He was my uncle!@@cherixbiggs5819
Oh yes!!! The Ed Sullivan Show was the hip 60s show that had everyone from The Beatles to Elvis to The Doors and every freaking British Invasion band like these incredible guys!! The 60s forever!!!
RIP Tony Jackson and Chris Curtis.
You both are the sound of the early/original Searchers ✨
Omg i was in love with Mick hope hes well after all these years.❤❤❤
Hello Stella how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
The greatests!
Fantastic record.👍🇬🇧
The GREATEST MUSIC 🎵🎶 DECADE PERIOD.
Saw them live. Blue suits, brylcream hair, the works. The last band like this that came to town was Badfinger. Talk about influence.
As I commented maybe u didn't see it saw them with my sister over 50 yrs ago in a club they were all there not on a proper stage just there good old days xx

So much greatness and genius comes out of simplicity !!
That's just what I was thinking
The simpler songs spark the most inspiration
Fond memories of them playing at a Sheffield U Students Union dance in 1964 when I was there . Everyone stopped dancing to listen and they sang Needles and Pins 3 times in a row.
@@AaronParasmo This was when the top groups toured and the Students Unions with their facilities and no overheads where the only ones that could afford them My wife when she was 17 at a Saturday night dances at Doncaster Tech twice danced to the Beatles before they became famous , Walking home with her friend their tour mini bus stopped and chatted her up . But she knew their was someone better than Paul and John waiting for her in the future!!
I was 8 years old in '64. This is what was playing in the background of my wonder years... Just one the iconic songs of the 60s that defined the decade... ✌😄
I was nine in '64--and you are so right, George!!!
Yup I was 17 and these were magical years
@@hilarybromley3064. This is one I had to miss. Sorry to say. I was 18 years old and still going through Marine Corps Boot Camp down at Parris Island S.C. But I still love this Song. God Bless.
Oh my, I'm in love.
Loved playing drums to this song
I was little in the 60’s and my sister was a teenager then and I remember we watched all these shows with music performances like Ed Sullivan.
I am in my 80th year and think how lucky I was to have such great music to listen to.
Out of all the British Invasions bands this one stands out for some reason.....fun peeps
the 60s were the very best, i grew up in that time.
Words fail me Happy, happy days. 71 now and seems like yesterday...wish it was today!
People will still be watching this 200 years later and loving it.
This song was No. 1 in the British charts the week I was born. It's pretty good.
Good days ….1960’S….When life Had a meaning…
A time when songs told a story
I was Ten years old going on 16 lol had my little transistor radio listening to the best music ever made “oh the memories” ❤️
This was actually on my 10th birthday April 5 1964!
I'm a Searchers fan. Pity it reflects my life history!!
I'm 70 and I remember seeing The Searchers on The Ed Sullivan show! Also quite a few more groups from the 60s!
I remember them on the Cavern. Brill. Also Gerry & the pacemakers.
I was lucky enough to see them live, an absolutely brilliant band. Chris Curtis their drummer was superb.
He had a stiff ride arm though, no wrist. Did OK, anyhow!
He resembles Dennis Wilson, a little.
So glad I got to see them on their Farewell tour this year. One of the most underrated rock bands ever!
It turns out that it wasn't their farewell tour. They're doing another one in the first half of next year.
@barneyburnham2673 Going to that too!
WISH THERE WAS A OLDIES AND GOODIES DANCE CLUB……….
I am in.. at 61 !
Love it 💖💖I'm 53 years old ....
Hello Maja how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE PENDER, lead singer 80 today.
The 60s for me a teenager was awesome with this music. Simply the best
60s had best era for music
These guys were like the Live of there day, almost as big as the beattles!
ANYONE HERE IN 2021 -----THE 1960'S & 1970'S WERE THE VERY BEST ERA ! FROM U.K
I lived thru all the 1960s stuff on Ed Sullivan in the USA and recall well my father saying ' ...they'll be gone in a few weeks ' about the Beatles ready to appear on Ed Sullivan as my sister and I waited for the B&W TV picture to improve with 'rabbit ears' ...
2024!
Those were the days, it was music 🎶 you can understand and listen to-not strain to hear. 🇬🇧
