Throwback Thursday Comedy/Music Special: Sophie Tucker's Last TV Appearance

The last of the Red Hot Mamas, the great Sophie Tucker is seen here on her final network television appearance originally broadcast on The Ed Sullivan Show in October 1965 in color.

Sophie lived until February of the next year. By this time, her voice was not what it used to be, so she talk/sang her songs, but her showmanship was unsurpassed.

With their photos set in frames on the studio's grand piano, Sophie sings the most popular songs of Ted Lewis, Fannie Brice, George M. Cohan, Eddie Cantor, Maurice Chevalier, and her own special song, Some of These Days.

So take a 54 year stroll down memory lane and enjoy!
