The iconic Sammy Davis Jr. sings his hit song 'The Rhythm of Life' written and recorded for the 1969 adaptation of Sweet Charity.
What is Sweet Charity (1969) about?
Shirley MacLaine gives one of her greatest performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon’s smash Broadway hit. Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.

Oz even used this song as a jingle for Lime Fresh Soap in the 1970s. I'm now 61 & I'm still overwhelmed by the ode to late 60s hippie culture& pentecostal gurus.

@JennyBoyd-q7d Год назад

I have to say that I am completely obsessed with this clip from a comic-tragic film directed by Fossey. Maclaine would always remain a fascinating person to me; Sammy jr, one of the best crooners of his generation. He had a lot of talent ranging from famous impersonations, acting & singing but was greatly underused in the industry. He will be missed.

@EAG46 8 месяцев назад

When they say "They don't make them like this anymore," This is what they mean. Fosse's choreography, Coleman & Fields' music, Edith Head's costumes, and Sammy Davis Jr's everything make this incredible number unique. How would you make this today? Who would you cast? I don't know. Can you make it today?

SD Jr. was without question the one and only member of the so-called "Rat Pack" that could possibly have carried this number off. Any of the others--Frank, Dean, any of them--would have looked completely ridiculous...awkward and pandering. But Sammy managed it with gusto. What a fantastic amount of talent was packed into that small, slim body!
