His phrasing, his musicality....incredible. This is an excerpt from a "Rat Pack" fundraiser show that aired live on my birthday, June 20, 1965. Sammy was a multi-instrumentalist, an incredible dancer, an incredible singer and so much more. He was a child prodigy. He was Sammy....in my estimation, one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and beyond. He is truly a legend.

Incredible performer and human being. The world needs more people like Mr. Davis.

I wish this never gets taken off KZfaq..

If you want a brilliant singer, an excellent impressionist, an outstanding comedian, a superb actor, an incredible tap-dancer, an accomplished drum-player among many other things, then you call up Mr Sammy Davis Jr. MsG

The drummer plays the EXACT same rhythm that Sammy 'sings' for him. Wow! Talent all around!!

Coolest performance ever

Amazing. Only drums and a voice. He fills the void with the talent of an entire orchestra.

He was amongst the best of the best entertainers -- singing, dancing, impersonations & comedy. Thanks so much for uploading this.

One of my favorite male vocalists in popular music - in his element.

I like all his interpretations

certainly one of the top entertainers ever....

Words fail... What a talent . Such an expression of "Human" I am humbled

this guy... epic voice and singer + dancing like a god :D we need more people like that in those times like now

THIS WAS AWESOME...THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER..."JUST PLAY THE BEAT..NO MESSAGES"

The definition of "Flow State." Someone should do a lecture on this.

Its amazing the talent that he had. Amazing.

Mesmerizing !

Saw him live in Las Vegas 4pm show $7 per person which include a bucket of beers outstanding show back in the day

Dec.8: Happy birthday Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990) (Perhaps) The World's Greatest Entertainer. RIP. Thanks for the upload. Blessings

SAMMY DAVIS JR THE BOMB ❤💚💛 RAT PACK BABY 💜

His talent was boundless!

Was there anyone, past or present, cooler than Sammy Davis, Jr.?

Listen watch and learn people.Mmmmm the drummer. Sammy Sammy Sammy.

So fantastic ... God bless

I love You Sammy שלום

Sammy Davis Jr was the musical truth

yes he was!

It’s a little lumpy...... so cute and cool

I wish I could dance "the mashed potatoes" like Sammy! he's the best!

I like the way he throws in a James Brown shout.

I NEVER tire of watching this!! It does sadden me though to observe the somber faces of the African American musicians in the background. I wonder if they didn't like Sammy, wasn't getting paid well - I don't know....

SAMMY DAVIS THE BOMB ❤💚💛RAT PACK BABY.💜

Sammy should have run a "groove-on weightloss clinic." Just keep your groove-on and you'll shake the whole world's shit off.

From @2:05-@2:15 is one of the smoothest, grooviest, funkiest, coolest moments EVER.

Marvelous

I remember seeing him do this on T V in the early to mid 60's. If not this performance, it was one just as good. But I know it was this one.

When I watch this and then I hear One Direction I say "what the fuck happenned to music?"

Perfection. Too bad the full concert was deleted from KZfaq.

When I move into a neighborhood I wipe the whole neighborhood out x)

This is that African tribal

They used this song in the movie GAMER (2009) ~ wow! I have never heard of this song until now! GAMER starring Gerald Butler (his early years) the way they did this song with Sammy's voice was brilliant! OH!!!! THE MOVIE IS TERRIBLE, UMPH. BUT I HUNG IN THERE & GOT A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE (ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE END)

Amazimg X2

Ah, the good ol' days when you actually had to have talent in order to be famous. 😍 Nowadays, any john/jane doe with auto Tune and crazy hair can be famous. No talent necessary.

Who could do this now?

Hello kids

genial :-)

Sammy let’s loose ! Also like what . Chris Connor handles this

only thing missing from this is absolutely nothing.

What did he say..or how he said it..plz.. about pillows, around marching?

After headlining at the sands in vegas. He had to go to a. Blacks only motel to sleep. When he went to the pool. The casino apologized. To the guests. When he flirted with kim novak the head of mgm. Took out a contract. Marry a black now or you are dead. Cho Cho San is a writer in phoenix. My hubby is black. I am a jew. We both do buddhism. Sammy davis jr is my favorite. nice jewish boy

This isn't rare, the whole concert is the Sinatra Spectacular (whole Rat Pack was there) and the whole concert is here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbSVh8dqx729mnk.html
