Ed Sullivan Show YouTube Channel Launches with Archival Clips from Beach Boys, Supremes, Jackson 5, Neil Diamond, More

A licensing deal struck between UMe and SOFA Entertainment Inc. has facilitated the launch of a new YouTube channel dedicated to the Ed Sullivan Show and all of its robust archives.

This means, of course, that a treasure trove of archival performances from music legends and icons will be made available to watch whenever you want. This is a big deal, considering many of these performances were not available (officially, at least) otherwise.

Rolling Stone notes that the channel launched with seven videos, with plans for more to be unveiled over the next three years.

Here’s what you can watch now:

The Temptations “I Can’t Get Next To You,” filmed Sept 28, 1969:
