A Salute To The Red, White & Blue: Memorable Performances From The Ed Sullivan Show

In his own inimitable style, Ed Sullivan managed to amass a group of American icons to honor our country, people such as Carl Sandburg, appointed poet laureate of the United States by President John F. Kennedy. Ed also paid tribute to our military by presenting drill teams and glee clubs representing our military academies.

The collection of landmark patriotic performances includes Wayne Newton, Loretta Lynn, Henry Fonda, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Irving Berlin, Joel Grey, Kate Smith, and Charlton Heston – all in an Independence Day tribute to our country with the America-loving spirit of a gentler, bygone era.
