While Sammy might be a “crooner” he was really an entertainer. He could sing, dance, act and he did them all great. He started in Vaudeville, and never stopped. Heard he also did dead-on impressions of famous people. A great, great talent.

Absolutely right! He did it all. As a child performer in vaudville he was so talented, he was passed off as “midget” (sorry, the word used at the time) to authorities so that he could continue working. And it was believed because he was so talented for such a young age.

@@tlm1593 Oh, don't worry about the word "midget." It is just an old word. We can change the terms, but the terms don't change the physical condition. Nowadays, acceptable terms are "dwarf" or "little person," but the word doesn't change the perception or reality. I think new terms are introduced to make it appear that some sort of progress is being made rather than to serioiusly address real issues that might impact the person being described. Regarding Sammy Davis Jr., thanks for the info. I didn't know that. He was wonderful!

I was living in St Louis and University of Missouri: St Louis (UMSL) had just built a new performing arts center and Hines was to be the christening act. Sadly he passed away about 1-2 months prior to it. The world as far as I remember didn’t even know he was ill. It was so sad. They ended up getting Hines’ protégé, Savion Glover, to fill in. It was special, too, but bittersweet. It was great knowing he was close to Hines and had such respect for him but kind of hurt the heart still knowing Hines was gone too soon.🙏🏻😌

If my memory serves me correctly, there is another story about Sammy and Frank (and maybe more of the pack), checking into a hotel they were to perform in. Even in states that did not have Jim Crow laws, many places still discriminated against blacks in those days. When the desk clerk refused to give a room to Sammy, Frank says that if he doesn't stay, none of us stays. With that, they walked out. I don't know if they ever performed or not.

Our brothers and sisters had to take it with literally a smile on their faces, at the moment of the events.

Sammy Davis Jr. was one of the most talented men that ever lived. He could do everything. I grew up watching the Rat Pack on TV with my mother. Couldn't get enough of them. I loved the way they interacted with each other on stage, like they were just a group of friends hanging out having fun and we were privileged to ease drop. My favorites were Sammy and Dino (Dean Martin). I liked some songs that Frank Sinatra did but for some reason he wasn't my favorite.

It bugs me that people accept the myth without question because the way it presented it is very unfair to Johnny's first wife, Vivian.

Jeffrey Jeff said in an interview that he and a friend went to New Orleans, got drunk and ended up in jail. At the time, segregation was still in place, so when they were in a big cell of white guys. This is when the old man started dancing and told his story. Later, Jeffrey Jeff wrote the song but didn’t do anything with the song for a long time. Finally after being strongly urged by his band, they finally released it. No doubt, Sammy Davis did a spectacular job with the song, but my heart is with the original. Please react to it. Thank you

Bill Robinson, nicknamed Bojangles (born Luther Robinson; May 25, 1878 - November 25, 1949) was an American tap dancer, actor, and singer, the best known and the most highly paid African-American entertainer in the United States during the first half of the 20th century.[1][2] His long career mirrored changes in American entertainment tastes and technology. His career began in the age of minstrel shows and moved to vaudeville, Broadway theatre, the recording industry, Hollywood films, radio, and television

I'm watching this over a year after the video debut. I adore Sammy!! Sammy Davis Jr. dominated my household during my childhood - my parents were Rat Pack devotees. But Sammy was something special. He's an entertainer with such soul, such talent in every inch of his limbs. Singer, dancer, actor and arguably among the top five or 10 entertainers in U.S. history. I hope you delve into his recorded performances. Watching a Sammy Davis Jr. show is an absolutely unforgettable treat!

Mr. Bojangles was a real person, a dancer and entertainer in the South. He was from Richmond, VA , near me. Sammy sang this sing so often. Mr. Bojangles ‘ real name was Bill Robinson. He was a tap dancer, actor, singer . Then he later appeared in Shirley Temple movies and various other venues. There is a statue of Robinson dancing , in Richmond, I have driven past it often. It is worth looking him up on Wikipedia , Google, etc. he paved the way for many and was very talented. As a kid I loved Sammy Davis, Jr and still go back and watch his performances. Loved his tv appearances and as part of the legendary “ Rat Pack”.

SO GLAD that you came to this song! Based on a true story (quoting Wikipedia) : « Walker said he was inspired to write the song after an encounter with a street performer in a New Orleans jail. While in jail for public intoxication in 1965, he met a homeless man who called himself "Mr. Bojangles" to conceal his true identity from the police. Mr. Bojangles had been arrested as part of a police sweep of indigent people that was carried out following a high-profile murder. The two men and others in the cell chatted about all manner of things, but when Mr. Bojangles told a story about his dog, the mood in the room turned heavy. Someone else in the cell asked for something to lighten the mood, and Mr. Bojangles obliged with a tap dance.[2][3] The homeless "Mr. Bojangles", who was white, had taken his pseudonym from Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (1878-1949), the best-paid Black entertainer of his era.[4] » And while I am here, can I suggest that yours be the first reaction channel to review the, way ahead of their time, all girl rock band, FANNY! Ain’t that peculiar… Blind Alley … or their cover of the Beatles Hey Bulldog. Keep up the great work!
