"26 Miles (Santa Catalina)" is a popular song by the 1950s and 1960s pop band #TheFourPreps. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, number six on the Billboard R&B chart, and number 11 in #Canada in 1958. The song sold over a million copies and the group appeared on several television shows, including #TheGiseleMacKenzieShow (March 15, 1958) and #TheEdSullivanShow.

✂️ 60 years ago, in essentially the same spot where #Colbert delivers his nightly monologue, #AnnMargret performed on #TheEdSullivanShow (5/19/63).

Pretty racy stuff for the most watched show (about 13M viewers) on the most watched night (Sunday) on TV.
