Sammy Davis Jr. - Impersonations (Live) 

GOD was really showing off when HE made Mr. Sammy Davis Jr.

He was seriously talented. What an entertainer he was.

Sammy Davis, Jr. was a true American treasure.

Wow he’s criminally underrated.

WHAT A COMPLETE PERFORMER THIS MAN REALLY WAS.!

Sammy is the very definition of Entertainer.

My vote for the greatest entertainer of the 20th century! From when I was, literally, maybe three or four years old, and remember seeing this incredible man on TV, and saw what he could do! Dance, tap, sing, twirl pistols, do impressions, act, riff and ad lib...ALL at world class levels - my God, what a gift to the stage! I loved him from the time I was a kid in the 1960s and still do. Thank you for posting these (thankfully we have them) videos - maybe new fans will see what multi- faceted talent really looks like; the one and only Sammy Davis, Jr. 🥰

Thats what a true entertainer is supposed to be!! Sammy really had a tremendous talent! That Generation style won't be seen again unfortunately.

Sammy could charm the birds from the trees.An all rounder in entertainment.

I defy you to name ANYONE as talented as this man. I watch him and listen to him in complete awe.

Sammy was the best of the best. RIP Sammy and thank you for everything. X

The original song and dance man :)

One of the best singers ever😇😇😇🖤🖤🖤

Very sad that that so many of today’s generations haven’t even heard of Sammy nor the many people that he impersonated in this video. There were so many other great entertainers who we all knew when we were growing up - I wish there were a way to bring them to the forefront to exhibit what natural talent (without electronic enhancement, lewd dancing, and questionable lyrics) won the hearts of their audience.

He got a lot of recognition and respect. I can remember seeing him on talk shows, TV specials, and Award Shows. He was always handing out compliments to the point one night on The Tonight Show Johnny Carson pulled the reins on him. He received nominates for a Golden Globe Award and two Emmy Awards for his television performances. He was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors twice, once in 1987 and in 2001. He recieved the Spingarn Medal by the NAACP. He recieved a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously. I don't know how often someone gets a Kennedy award twice. Do you know? I think he was well rated and there was nothing criminal related to him except his friend Frank Sinatra. 😉 Hollywood and the music industry are filled with nepotism and true friends that helped their true friends. It's incredible when someone from the outside breaks through. Sammy Davis Jr. was a door opener and most importantly, fun and entertaining.

I miss guys like Sammy, guys who could really sing and make you feel

Sammy was a class act 💕

When stars had real talent. Sammy was the greatest !

One of the finest gentlemen, performer gentlemen I have ever had the gentlemen I have ever had the opportunity to see. If this world could be anything like this man then we would be much, much better as a human race.

Sammy Davis ...showman fantastique!

Love me some Sammy Davis, Jr.

he brought people together ... love him

What an amazing talent.

When I was a young RAF guy in Libya in the early 60's I had his live album recorded at the Coconut Grove. Everybody was always borrowing it.

Sammy Davis is wonderful - soo freakin’ talented! I was on the floor laughing and totally amazed at his impersonations (especially Nat King Cole)! What a beautiful man. What a brilliant gig! We love you, Mr.. Davis ✨🌷🌱

That huge talent packed into so small a frame - he is astounding!

Sammy Davis Jr was, overall THE MOST talented person in entertainment history.

He was an American Treasure, and he Broke down many Door's for so many that came after, Thank you Mr..Davis for all that your talents gave the World , and forgive those who did show you the RESPECT you and so many richely Deserved.....

Mister Entertainment - definitely the greatest talent the US ever had.

Born entertainer we don’t have anyone that can touch him today

Amazing talent…… vocal skills beyond belief……👏👏👏👏😉👍

Sammy's gold and diamond cigarette case and lighter are amazing. His ballet with them and the cigarette is a work of art, but that's what wound up killing him.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!! Once in a lifetime talent.. RIP Sammy, you are the greatest.... 👌

I can’t tell you how happy it made me to see this!!! God bless his memory. He was simply the best.

A truly missed major talent, Sammy had a fabulous voice, in ways more powerful than Frank's. He was underrated, but his comedic talent was red hot given when this was recorded. You are still in our hearts and minds and we love you and miss you. ❤

Even Jim Morrison deemed him,one of his own heroes and he's probably one of the most talented of his Era, I mean He was in the Rat Pack !

Such a multitalented man - may he RIP..

He was a great entertainer indeed. 👏👏👏

Mr. Entertainment is what they called him. Sammy Davis, Jr. 💖👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

This cat was the coolest. Singing and entertaining while smoking at the same time! 😂 Brilliance!! 👏

Now that's what I call a versatile performance !

SO sad I could'nt enjoy this marvellous man, incredible voice, great enterteinment. Thanks COVID-19 I had tome to watch Viña del Mar, where Paul Anka sings with him IM NOT ANYONE!! I could'nt believe such a beautiful song! He was fantastic! 🙏💕

Sammy gets that tone that Nat King Cole had. Amazing

That is REAL TALENT!

Simply one of the Best entertainers of all time.

Sammy was an absolute genius

Intelligence and talent in an era that we needed him to help us be one country

What the hell am I watching? This is pure gold. This makes today look so bad.

In addition to everything else mentioned (singing, dancing, acting, comedy), Sammy Davis Jr was a phenomenal trick shooter and gun twirler, known as a master of the “quick draw.” I’m not generally a fan of guns, but watching films of him handling one (or several) is mesmerizing.

Later Dean plays Jerry but he was so huge and famous at the time that he didn't need to mention his name. He just imitated him.

Sammy Davis jr was a great man, entertainer, actor and singer. You are missed Dear Sir

Not only is he the most talented singer, dancer and actor. His speaking voice to his audience is worth the price of admission alone.

What a great singer, what a performer.

the entire event used to be on RU-vid and then it was taken off. Shame.

The original GOAT

Always amazing!

I kind of forgot how great he was. r.

Wonderful performance

Un grandissimo artista non apprezzato 🤗🤗

How barren is our musical/entertainment world? There are no great people like hm left living!

He was my mom’s favorite!!!!

I remember how the great Shirley Bassey, recalled when she first came to Vegas, and Sammy had to warn her about where could she be, and where she was not allow to be. It was a shock to her. She was from England and such barbarity didn't exist there.

Thank you Sammy Davis you are a masterful Entertainer

Supreme talent......
