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!

Omg! Loved Gregory Hines. I was thisclose to getting to see Hines perform live. 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.

When I was kid Central America I used to travel with my mom from the coastal region; to Los Campos (areas where bananas were grown) to sell fried fish, Mangoes, young coconuts, coconut oil,,,. Mother would find us a little corner in people's houses to sleep; mother's cry lives in my memory 60 plus years later. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE DO WE GET UP AT NIGHT TO USE THE BATHROOM IN/OUTSIDE PEOPL'S HOUSES. I would stop drinking water early and covered my feet on the floor so rats,,,. Oh, the hell my brothers and specially sisters endured around America back in the days. Chuck Berry always carried his lunch pale and promised, HE WOULDN'T GIVE THEM JOKERS A DIME OF HIS MONEY! All brothers and sisters from before the 70's are my Heroes! they paid the price. They didn't "BATTLE" as battle means you took immediate action, display clear displeasure. Our brothers and sisters had to take it with literally a smile on their faces, at the moment of the events. THAT'S STRENGTH! to be belittled/ridiculed and you simply respond "Yes boss" Thank you, Sammy, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cook, Chuck Berry, Lena Horn, Bill Robinson (Bojangles), Cicely Tyson, Sidney Poitier, Josefine Baker, Bill Crosby, Nicolas Brothers, Berry brothers,,, I could go on and on,,, thank you all for taking it on the chin!! for so many of us ingrates,,,.

Jerry Jeff Walker wrote the song and he says it’s not about Robinson. He was inspired to write the song by a New Orlean street performer he met in a New Orleans jail. The person called himself Mr. Bojangles to conceal his identity from the police. This is well documented and confirmed by JJW on a tv interview.

Watch a biography of his to know the magnitude of this man. He defined "A List" celebrity. Nothing made an event more baller than "What?! SAMMY'S gonna be there?!"

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.

Rob Sqaud. Please react to Nitty Gritty Dirt Band including Jeffrey Jeff, the defining version of this song. 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

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!

Can't disagree with you Christina. I have a low voice and when I heard Lou Rawls I was making strange noises trying to get it to sound even a little like his. I guess I'll stick with just talking. 🤐

Lou Rawls voice is amazing, and those are two of his best songs. How about Brook Benton ; "A house is not a home", "It's just a matter of time" and "Rainy night in Georgia". Another great is Lenny Welch. "Since I fell for you" and "Are you sincere ?"

I saw him in person, in a theater in the round in Houston, TX in the early 1970s. He came down an aisle 2 seats from me and when they talk about how small he was, it is not an exaggeration. His autobiography is one of the best.

Sammy Davis Jr. was truly multi-talented. He danced, sang, acted, and I think he played instruments too (drums, etc.).

Someone else that you need to hear is Cab Calloway. I think you both will love him. If you do I suggest listening to Jumpin Jive with the Nicholas Brothers.

I can't describe the feeling of joy to see the smiles on your faces on hearing Sammy Davis Jr. I grew up with this song. Tears of joy.

Sammy was a triple threat. Can sing, dance and act. Love him and Dean Martin together especially in the Cannonball movies.

You've got that right John. He was great with the six shooters and I enjoyed watching him on westerns such as "The Rifleman". He made one heck of a cowboy.

Peabody Bryson is an "unsung crooner." He and Roberta Flack are exceptional singers in their own right. Together on the song, TONIGHT, their voices shine. Roberta Flack's song, THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM is a masterpiece. Her version of the song, FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE is exquisite, but she's also an "unsung hero." I'm so glad that younger people are searching out music and artists of bygone and former days. So much talent forgotten by some yet is being discovered, enjoyed and remembered by young people to keep it alive. I can't wait until this channel discover phenomenal singer, Dimash: Songs- STRANGERS; AVE MARIA; ACROSS ENDLESS DIMENSIONS; YOUR LOVE; SINFUL PASSION; OPERA 2; THE DIVA DANCE, etc. Go well.

With your eyes closed 90% of the time, you sadly missed most of the sheer visual masterpiece of this performance. The beautiful words and vocals are outstanding, but they aren't the only things that create this beautiful story on stage.
