Not wishing to pour water over this very interesting piece of work by Universal but by the time Motown came along and the Ed Sullivan Show, Ethel Waters was already a historic artists having been on US TV in 1939 and surely Nat King Cole stareed in and hosted a weekly TV show almost ten years previously.  That's not to take anything away from Mr Sullivan who provided a platform for many pop singers including Motown artists.
