That was the first and last appearance of The Doors on the Ed Sullivan show!
The Doors live on...
There is a wonderful documentary on Ed Sullivan called “Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan” (not sure on which streaming service).
Ed Sullivan insisted on featuring black singers and groups that other shows wouldn’t have.

The producer, angry that the band did not acquiesce to Sullivan's demand that "higher" be taken out (because of its perceived allusion to drugs) told Jim Morrison that the Doors would never do the Ed Sullivan Show.
Morrison's reply was one for the ages: "We just DID the Ed Sullivan Show."
