THE MOTOWN SOUND
— The Ed Sullivan Show —
The entire Ed Sullivan Show catalogue has hit the streaming platforms!
On June 12, 2020 came news Universal Music Enterprises and Sofa Entertainment brokered a deal to license and make available the entire Ed Sullivan video performance from the Sofa library, who acquired the entire catalogue in 1990. UME will make available the entire catalogue for public streaming in restored, digitized form, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Since its premiere launch on June 12, more videos have been added on the official Ed Sullivan You Tube channel, highlighting the Motown sound. As reported, it will take three years to upload the more than 10,000 performances which aired Sunday evenings on CBS-TV from June 20, 1948 to June 6, 1971.
