Impresario the life and times of Ed Sullivan

Maguire, James 1959- (Author).

Summary: A perfect mirror of its time, The Ed Sullivan Show ran from 1948 to 1971, echoing this period's every chapter; the birth of television, the conformist 1950's, the dawn of the rock era - featuring a hip-shaking Elvis and the Beatles' U.S. debut - and finally, the tumultuous late 1960s.
