Wow Sammy was very handsome in his younger years. The funny part is he was 29 and looked like a teenager. Man 29 in 1955 I saw him on The Cosby Show and he looked good for his age. That man could do everything with a cigarette in his hand and never drop it.

Great to see this whole interview. I had never seen footage of him talking so candidly about his accident before. Hard not to think of him singing, but to paraphrase the man... " He had a lot of living... to dew-w-w-w-wah" ! ... and there ain't a fool alive that can say he didn't make good on that. One of the greatest ever. Wham! : )

Recently, I was pondering at the amazing music prodigies that have recently sprung up like Emily Beard, Jesus Molina, Justin Schulz and then all of a sudden a video of Mr Sammy Davis Jnr came into view algorithmically, and then I saw more videos and now I’m reading his autobiography. Wow, started at age three and never stopped…..In comparison to the prodigies I mentioned, as great as they are, wow, Sammy Davis Jnr is miles ahead of them all. IMHO, the greatest all round entertainer that ever existed.

Interestingly, Bill Cosby wore a Sammy Davis Jr. badge on his show, "The Cosby Show", following his death...Sammy's grandmother sounds like she's from an island in the Caribbean...The closest modern-day comparison that I can think of, to Sammy, who was a "quadruple threat" (actor, singer, comedian, dancer), is Jamie Foxx, except for the dancing...Jamie is a "triple-threat" - actor, singer, comedian..."Triple-threats" are rare in Hollywood these days and I can't think of another one right now...

1960ebutuoy Perhaps, but we cannot negate the times that they lived in either, or the impact of her daily life experiences at that time as a Black woman. As much as people often say, "Why do they have to make it a race thing?", sadly the answer to that is that life in America has always been about 'making it a race thing.' After several hundred years of "your not good enough because of your race", "your not pretty enough because of the color of your skin", "you can't get hired despite how good you are because of your background", "the police stops you because of your ethnicity", and "an entire set of laws were placed on the books specifically to keep the races apart and unequal", yes I would have to agree that more often than not some aspect of race plays a part in people's thinking and psychology because of our history and culture. Maybe not always, but more often than not even if folks are not conscious of it.

Angela Celeste May i agree with you completely but that has nothing to do with this comment stream, if you are looking for an opportunity to proselytize about your race beliefs, i understand, but it muddies the search for accurate evaluation and misconception about this wonderful woman's response to her environment.and that same lens distortion serves really more as a rohrshach about your personal world view than reality. stop reifying the hate/fear and as michael jackson said be all about love and the love will eventually sweep it all away. namesta ,Angela
@AngelaCelesteMay10 жыл бұрын
I disagree, because my reply was to the initial comment that started this stream which was specifically about racial relations when the person stated, "I think his mum is used to not being allowed to look a white person in the eyes, it's sad :(" Also, as I stated earlier, the state of race history in our country is such that it has some part in nearly all conversation, whether we are aware of it or not, especially in the case of a woman living in that era. But even though that is the case, I don't mind agreeing to disagree. Peace.
