Ed Sullivan R&R Appearances
By Tapio.Vaisanen@beveric.com - Posted February 2, 2003
Hi everyone, I've found Episode list of Ed Sullivan Show while I was surfing the Net. It's interesting to see that the rock and roll performances are all between 1955 and 1958. There were good records made after that, but in Ed Sullivan show after 1958 everything changes completely. Here's a link to Complete The Ed Sullivan Show - Episode List, including song information.
