House of The Rising Ratings

Anderson Layman's Blog has a video of The Animals on The Ed Sullivan Show

Although Ed Sullivan usually seemed about as comfortable as Richard Nixon at a rock concert, the old guy knew how to put on a show. Those were the days before specialization and so everyone in the family watched the same programs. Sullivan wisely booked a variety of talent which would appeal to different generations. Note too that The Animals were not singing about a convent.
