EXPO 67: Je ne détiens pas les informations officielles de la venue de
Ed Sullivan à Montréal, mais je crois qu'il était venu animer son << SHOW>> en direct de " l'expo 67 ".
Je n'ai aucune idée du fait que mon Père était l'invité du Maire
Jean Drapeau pour cette journée mémorable.
Voici ce que j'ai trouvé sur CTVA MUSIC:
Le Ed Sullivan show aurait été télédiffusé en direct de l'expo "67"
le 7 mai ainsi que le 21 mai 1967.
