The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents.
We
remember Eddie as a giant (although he was short) of the pop music
world after he was discovered by Eddie Cantor at Grossinger's in the
Catskills where he was working as a bus boy.
Fisher
was born in Philadelphia in 1928 and was the fourth of seven children.
He was the son of Russian-born Jewish immigrants, Gitte Winokur and
Joseph Tisch. His father's surname was changed to Fisher by the time of
the 1940 census.
He
was not an observant Jew, but returned many times to sing at
Grossinger's, and that's where he and Debbie Reynolds were married.
Enjoy!
