Songwriter-Composer Robert Arthur, Dead @ 89

He was the man behind the music on 'The Ed Sullivan Show.'

Back in 1967 he famously famously tweaked the lyrics of The Rolling Stones song, "Let's Spend the Night Together" so they could perform it on the iconic CBS variety show.  This was a very big deal back in the day. 

Over the many years the shows aired Arthur worked with countless artists including Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Sly Stone, The Platters, The Beatles, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Ella Fitzgerald, , Kate Smith, Count Basie, Bill Haley & His Comets, Harry James, Diana Ross, Itzhak Perlman, Connie Francis, Bo Diddley, and Mitzi Gaynor.
