His phrasing, his musicality....incredible. This is an excerpt from a "Rat Pack" fundraiser show that aired live on my birthday, June 20, 1965. Sammy was a multi-instrumentalist, an incredible dancer, an incredible singer and so much more. He was a child prodigy. He was Sammy....in my estimation, one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and beyond. He is truly a legend.
Sammy is not "one of" but definitely THE Greatest Entertainer of All Time. God surely did a good job of breaking his mold after he was born because nobody has yet come close to matching the many talents of this great artist. Just my 2 cents.
If you want a brilliant singer, an excellent impressionist, an outstanding comedian, a superb actor, an incredible tap-dancer, an accomplished drum-player among many other things, then you call up Mr Sammy Davis Jr. MsG
I NEVER tire of watching this!! It does sadden me though to observe the somber faces of the African American musicians in the background. I wonder if they didn't like Sammy, wasn't getting paid well - I don't know....

They used this song in the movie GAMER (2009) ~ wow! I have never heard of this song until now! GAMER starring Gerald Butler (his early years) the way they did this song with Sammy's voice was brilliant! OH!!!! THE MOVIE IS TERRIBLE, UMPH. BUT I HUNG IN THERE & GOT A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE (ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE END)
Ah, the good ol' days when you actually had to have talent in order to be famous. 😍 Nowadays, any john/jane doe with auto Tune and crazy hair can be famous. No talent necessary.
