Elvis Presley - Peace in the Valley [Ed Sullivan Show Live 1956]

Heres a look at Ed Sullivan and Elvis- The Ed Sullivan Show was a hugely popular TV show in the 50's , 60s and into the 70's. Hes famous for introducing America to a wide variety of entertainment from all over the world. Famously Elvis and a few years later, the Beatles.   This appearance is very important in the history of rock and roll, at the end of the song , when Ed walks over and tells the audience that this is a fine, decent young man, he was really telling parents and grown ups that this new music was not something to be afraid of, that Rock and Roll was okay
