The Ed Sullivan Show was more than just a TV program; it was a cultural phenomenon that introduced rock ‘n’ roll to millions of Americans.

Sullivan had an uncanny ability to spot talent, giving many legendary artists their first national exposure.

Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones once said, “Ed Sullivan was one of the first to believe in rock ‘n’ roll on TV, and he had the power to make you a star overnight.”

Similarly, Paul McCartney reflected, “The Ed Sullivan Show was the big one, the show you had to be on if you wanted to make it in America.”
