"Toast of the Town" or "Really Big Show"

Back in the day the "Toast of the Town" aka "The Ed Sullivan Show" was one of the hottest programs on the vast wasteland aka television. If Ed wanted you, then you were a hot act

There was Elvis, the Doors, the Rolling Stones, et al. Even the Vanilla Fudge. And let's not forget the Supremes, the Temptations, et al.

Here's Johnny, er, Ed introducing one of the biggest acts in history. Duh! Can you guess who it might be?


P.S. Here's another one from the show. Seems the "Doors" were told to change the lyric "girl, we can't get much higher" 15 minutes before air time.
