Better Off Ed
While browsing around, I came across a treasure trove which I'll start posting here from time-to-time. It's tons of appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
But before we dive into the first one, I think the only way to begin as a prologue is this number from Bye Bye Birdie, written by Charles Strouse and Lee Adams. "Hymn for a Sunday Evening," performed by Paul Lynde, Mary LaRoche, Ann-Margaret and Bryan Russell.
(All the nice being two graduates of the beloved Northwestern -- Paul Lynde and Ann-Margaret -- and also one Ann-Margaret grad of New Trier High School. Not that I'm biased or anything...)
Okay, welcome back to the show.
And to start, here is Ed Sullivan chatting with Humphrey Bogart. It appears as if Bogart had just participated in a sketch -- perhaps with baseball players. And afterwards, Ed called him over to talk. One of his, "Bogie, c'mon over here, c'mon!" sort of things.
