For this Video Showcase we have a video of the Ed Sullivan Show that Dame Shirley was on, from 1971. She performed a medley of ‘What about today/Yesterday when I was young’ from the ‘Something album’. On part two later this week a sketch Shirley did with Ed Sullivan.

thanks so much for this………. so much footage we would never have seen if it were not for this fantastic blog.
Thanks again Pieter – I second the above comment.
I love it..
So good to hear here in full flight – a young voice with virtually no limits. Even if American TV did insist in dressing her like a nun!
You are right Marco……Shirley was totaly over dressed !
Oh to see Dame Shirley singing What about today again was superb for me. Please more early 70′s, please
Early 1970s is my favorite Shirley period…this is a fabulous performance.
Thank-you very much, Pieter, for this wonderful Ed Sullivan clip. Ed Sullivan Productions guards this footage against people showing it without approval, so it’s great that you are able to show it at all! I also have this footage, but have not placed it on youtube. As you know, and many others do as well, both of our accounts were closed a few years back for showing Ed Sullivan material. This stuff is for the world to see, so I don’t see why they are so hard a…..! Thank-you again!
