Ed Sullivan Show    
    At one time, my father sold advertising space for a "car" magazine. Because of his job, he was able to get some tickets to a Sunday-afternoon dress rehearsal of "The Ed Sullivan Show" (one of their sponsors at that time was "Lincoln" cars).
     I remember sitting in the audience, and seeing two girls and a guy take their place onstage, before being introduced by "Ed." All of a sudden, I realized who it was, and I said out loud, "The Fleetwoods!!!"
    To this day, I don't remember who else was on the show that day.   Sincerely,  Eli Mallon
   
 
Dick Clark Show  
April (possibly March) of 1959 (culmination of
our first tour).  It was The Dick Clark Show 
(Beechnut Hour) not American Bandstand, 
although it appears on the video Dick Clark's
BEST OF BANDSTAND  .If you look at the two
   
arches, there appears to be distortion:  Things on the left side of the screen appear much wider than those on the right.  This is true on all copies of the video.

"This video clip represents just one of the many television programs enhanced by The Fleetwoods' music.  Television performances listed are highlights of The Fleetwoods' live TV performances, not just soundtracks."
