2:46 The Epic Crane Shot that has never been replicated by a Jib Arm. LOL The Camera person had to perform a rack focus which is difficult to achieve. This person made it look effortless. This is how LIVE Broadcast Television used to be. It was BIG. LOL.

He was the epitome of a fantastic entertainer. A world-class singer, dancer, actor, multi-instrumentalist, impressionist, he could do it all. He opened doors for people like Michael Jackson, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, and countless more. Just watch a few of the You Tube videos of Sammy, and one sees his mind boggling talent.

I miss those years when we had real entertainers like Sammy Davis Jr. Ahhh, so many others too during that era.

@jakegladdy3984 2 года назад

Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft was the reason I first liked this song. She sung this in one of her concerts as a tribute to her Uncle Sammy. Sammy is amazing as all the Rat Pack are but Sammy has soul in that voice. One of the many greats

@robertr8386 3 года назад

@@trombonerist2856 ,its significant to remember that sammy doing live concerts,did way more than sing.impressions,dancing and playing instruments were part of his act.there must have been a valid reason why sammy was recognized as the greatest entertainer that ever lived.actually he exceeded greatness.
