Ed Sullivan

„Over the years, many couples performed together on 'The Ed Sullivan Show', like Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Gordon and Sheila MacRae and Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme. But none could top the power couple that was Ike and Tina Turner. The husband and wife R&B duo appeared only once on 'The Ed Sullivan Show', but their explosive performance is unforgettable.“
