Ed’s love for Motown and Berry Gordy’s ingenuity in releasing his artist’s singles to coincide with their appearances on Sullivan, helped make Motown the sound of America. Along with numerous appearances by The Supremes and The Temptations, the Sullivan stage was graced by The Jackson 5, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Martha & the Vandellas, Gladys Knight & the Pips and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles.
