A ‘’REALLY BIG SHEW’ ON THIS DAY IN 1956

 Classic Television Showbiz: The Ed Wynn Show with guests The Three Stooges (1950)       
        
        
        
        
        
       
The King of Rock and Roll teamed up with TV’s reigning variety
program, as
Elvis Presley (21) appeared on “The Ed Sullivan
Show”
for the first time on September 9, 1956.        

       

With 60 million viewers—or 82.6 percent of TV viewers at the time—tuning in, the appearance garnered the show’s best
ratings in two years and became the most-watched TV
broadcast of the 1950s.

Although “The Ed Sullivan Show” was filmed in New York,
Presley performed remotely from CBS’s Los Angeles
studio because he was filming his first movie, Love Me
Tender
, in California.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana.

Jackson began performing with his four brothers in the pop
group the Jackson 5 when he was a child. The group scored
its first No. 1 single in 1969, with “I Want You Back.” By age
11, Jackson was appearing on TV, and by age 14 he had
released his first solo album.

A Jackson 5 TV cartoon series appeared in the early ’70s, and
in 1976 the Jackson family, including sister Janet Jackson,
launched a TV variety show called The Jacksons that ran for
one season. Throughout the 70s, media attention focused on
Michael, who piped vocals in his high voice for “ABC,” “I’ll Be
There,” and many other Top 20 hits.

Long before his stature in the world of show business earned
him the nickname “Chairman of the Board,”
Frank Sinatra was
known simply as “The Voice.”

age of 82 with his immediate family by his side at Cedars-
Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Six days later, some 400 mourners attended his private funeral

James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006)

“Soul Brother #1,”The Godfather of Soul,” “Mr. Dynamite,” “Sex Machine,” “The Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk.”

the world, but that an aunt attending his birth managed to breathe
