That The Ed Sullivan Show was a cultural phenomenon and marked the American breakthrough for Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones is fairly well known. That Black artists like Bojangles Robinson, Bo Diddley, and Cab Calloway also appeared on his show was certainly not a given. Smokey Robinson, Harry Belafonte, and Dionne Warwick confirm the key role Ed Sullivan personally played in a cultural shift, and Jenkins even convincingly equates Sullivan with Martin Luther King Jr. Interviews and diary entries (recited by an AI version of Sullivan) clarify Sullivan's own perspective. A socio-historically relevant documentary with an impressive collection of archival footage.
