I'm nearly 77 years old and this man, " Sammy" has been the greatest alround talented person i have seen. He is brilliant. What a talent.

What a gift to the world. He is 61 here I am 89 2023 and his tap dancing inspired me to learn same with confidence to perform in neighborhood theater. Thank you Sammy. Bea youngblood

He never ever gave a bad performance. Here, in his early 60s, there is no evidence of age or weakness in his vocals.

A movie wouldn't do justice to this multi-talented man. He had a fascinating life. Let's see a limited series about his life. Such a performer, actor, singer, dancer. One of a kind, and very much missed.

Sammy singing and John Williams conducting. A lot of talent in this room.

And now ladies and gentlemen , you have seen it all! There’s simply no one Like him! Majesty, performance , grace and one who served the appetite of wonder and beauty.

A unique all round entertainer and a proper gentleman. Nobody even comes close to him today.

Dedicated to me by my loving boyfriend when we were college juniors; he became my even more loving husband for 59+ years and this song has remained ever meaningful for us through the years.

His knowledge about rhythm phrasing was unreached in Show Business, simply Genius !

the man was a genius..wish he were here now...so under appreciated..swept the sidewalk for black entertainers to come! Respect...Sammy!

Born for this he was. What a great performer and amazing talent. RIP

Without any question the greatest entertainer of ALL time!!!!

One of the very best showman of all times.

What a beautiful man he was, and such a gentleman, I just can't get enough of him

2 Years Later from the concert we lost the Greatest of all time I had the honor of seeing Sammy Davis Jr. perform in person 3 times

Best male vocalist of all time

i never get tired of Sammy do Mr. Bojangles that's bec in many ways he's like him.

Undoubtedly the greatest entertainer. There is no other male singer with the range and style. Ever time I listen to him singing I am in awe. All others feel free to stand in line.

These entertainers of yesteryear cant be rivalled there just two talented

I feel so lucky to have had a little bit of Sammy and all the rest of his friends in my life as I grew up. I love watching the real stars that made entertainment entertaining! I missed this in 88” but so happy I found it today ❤️ Peace n Love to Sammy and his friends . All are dearly missed 🙏☮️💟

Sammy Davis Jr What Great Entertainer of all time.. A brilliant performer Artistic Dancer Solo entertaining the world audience with graceful without backing up...But wonderful musicians and Orchestra.. Americas contributions to human kind.. God Bless you in heaven singing and and dance...

Wow!!!!! Satin doll!! He was unique. One of the few that deserves live forever

Yes. Without a doubt, the greatest entertainer ever. ❤️

The greatest entertainer of this century. I have always admired his class acts

Always amazed that a man so small in stature could have a voice (and talent) that was 10 feet tall!

R.I.P. Sammy Davis Jr 1925-1990

An all around entertainer. He could do it all. Mr. Davis Jr. RIP.

Such a great voice

Wherever you are SDJ, I hope you understand how much you are still loved. I always knew that you would put on a great show, whether you sang, danced or played the drums, we were in for some awesome entertainment. And what a wonderful actor!!!! People will always love you. ❤❤💕💜💐😊❤❤

Thank you Mr Sammy Davis Jr💖

What a great and talented man ❤

Nobody touches him! Not even Sinatra or Bennett. The greatest entertainer ever.

Two years from death of throat cancer, and listen to that voice. Fantastic. How great would it have been if he recorded an album with the Pops at this time? Some people say Sinatra was king. Pffft. Sinatra's voice was shit by the time he hit 50. Sammy, here at about 63 sounds wonderful.

Wow! Fabulous talent, American original, Sammy is entertainment! NOBODY near him today.

My God what a talent!!! RIP Sammy!

This was not long after I met him, along with his lovely wife Altovise, at one of the opening parties for the Segerstrom Hall/OC Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa. He was so charming and loved the fact that I knew every song from his B'way hit Golden Boy, "You're too young to remember that." Just a total class act.

GREAT DAD; This number is one of my favorites performed by the personification of Greatness!!! Always have A VOICE!!! Love ❤️ Louella

The best black entertainer ever. Rest in peace the great Sammy Davis

Songs that are kind and don't cuss you out. I love that. I giggled when he gave snapping instruction "snap on the 2 and the 4." I love it.

Incomparable performer. He enthralled his audience. Perfect entertainer commanding the instrumentation to peak performance. His vocalisation was powerful and arresting. Indescribable show. Wonders of entertainment incredulously.😮❤🎉

Actor, comedian, dancer, singer etc. The quintessential entertainer. R.I. P MR. Davis.🙏

so good to hear this real music performed by real humans on real instruments and sung by a voice with no auto tune. this world has lost something over the last decades

Sam was the man! He did it all!

Sammy Davis Junior is the truth!

Soy el único latino por acá? No soy de esa época pero el arte no se mide en tiempo. Este hombre era tremendamente talentoso, espectacular uno de los mejores artistas de todos los tiempos. Sammy Davis jr por siempre. 👏👏

What a performer RIP

No extra electronics, autotuning, backing tracks, every sound came from that stage. FLAWLESSLY! Incredible performance.

Sammy was the whole package, the best of the best!

This is what show business is all about!

A little fella but a big man love you Sammy

the man could. sing. act impersonate.sammy had it all. top 5 in my book. oh and could he ever dance.

THE closest thing we will ever see born in flesh to a A GOD . GOD BLESS U SAMMY . GENIUS !!!!!

Unwiederbringliche Spitzenklasse!!

Sammy was an Entertainer from his lil sweet heart His stage presence was second to non. I love to hear him sing Mr. Bogangles and The Candy Man Can. He was so incredibly Amazingly Beautiful!!!

He's so effortless. He never has to reach or climb to those high notes, but it's not without gravitas. He's the biggest talent out of the Rat Pack and I think the others could appreciate that no matter how big their own ego. You can see when they take turns doing solo interludes, Sinatra and Martin look at each other like they're so proud it's very sweet. I think they were clear about how much harder Sammy Davis had it compared to themselves.

Thanks for this video. There will never be a Sammy Davis movie. Who could possibly create this amazing individual in cinematic form ? He lived so many different lives, in so many different decades. Who was he really? He lived the prejudice of some white, the dislike of some coloured, who called him a “coconut “. Who would you be if you were in his shoes ? He was A GREAT ENTERTAINER. Musician, actor, dancer, singer. I saw him live once, I went to his dressing room and got his autograph. Such a little chap, such a GREAT ENTERTAINER.

Wanderful Mixed Man Sammy Davis Jr.🙏

One of the greatest entertainers who ever lived.

Awesome !

Thank you, Sammy...you are the best!

Um dos melhores cantores do mundo,nessa época sua voz já estava fraca,devido talvez a doença que o levou!!Saudades!!

Class and superb talent!!!!

love the man

It was amazing working with him.

And the 6 people who gave thumbs down can give up their souls now

Watching again two years later -- still great.

I love that man 🥰 thank you for keeping this video! RIP

He was so impeccable.

He is the total entertainer with him goes elvis..

The Best Cuban American entertainer of all time!!!👍👍🍷🍷💐💐💐♥️♥️

É muito talento numa pessoa só! Espetacular! Só faltou as imitações de cantores e atores que ele fazia tão bem! Sua voz já não estava a mesma pela idade e talvez ao câncer na garganta que o matou devido a grande quantidade de cigarro que fumava...

I gotta be me. I love that song

Please keep sending his videos! Thank you!

We know this man can sing in almost any genre, and he can dance, act, do impersonations and comedy skits, he even plays the drums in some concerts. We know he do all this either extraordinarily well or very well because he has all that talent. But where does he find the time to rehearse, to practice all these disparate skillsets sufficient to get it all down and keep them fresh, in time for his performances? Each of these skills is normally a separate career full of rehearsal, and practice sessions among mortal entertainers to perfect. When does the man sleep, relax in front of the tv, play poker or golf, go out on dates with his wife?

Legend.

Quelle classe!

Wonderful!

Super Sammy ❤Merci😢

He is loose and cool here..when he was comfortable he really clicked..

Awesomeness ❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️👏🏽❣️🔥

best of the best.

ESTE GRANDE ARTISTA DO SEU TEMPO QUE EU VI EM CINEMA DEU-ME MUITA ALEGRIA SAPATEAVA MUITO BEM ARTISTA COMO MUITOS OUTROS QUE JÁ PARTIRAM E UMA VERDADE.

unbelievable good 🙏

je suis francaise mais j'adore j'adore. Dommage que l.on ne fasse pas plus de diffusion de ce grand artiste

Очень душевно !!!

HOW CAN ANYBODY NOT LIKE THIS VIDEO? FOUR MORONS! SAMMY DAVIS JR. WAS THE ABSOLUTE TOPS! I hope when I meet my maker. I get to meet him and the rest of the Rat Pack! Then I'll know I died and went to heaven!

Fantastic concert, if the audience DOES appear to be something our of Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

My favorite all-time singer/dancer Seconded only to Jerry Lewis as my all-time favorite entertainer

Nice!!!❤

Taking one day at a time DaD!!! Your Ace in the whole!!! Thanks for all the love a dad can give. LONG LIVE THE KING!!! And his forever Queen Mom, Sam & Luci’ Lucille. Many hats, a coat of many colors and a heart that never bleeds out!! Able and Ready to receive you all back into our family room and home with true household of faith!! 😆 So wonderful that microphones made it possible for us to answer long distance calls and have family visits face to face in our family room and even on television now adays I have accepted and adapted the use of it and it brought our family businesses closer as one, and as we knew it would. Jehovah’s saving power never failed any of us HEBREW NATIONALS with American Indian Habitation. What glorious genes!!! The strength of a spiritual giant with Moms “curb appeal”. All behind us now the divisive force of the things we were instructed to leave behind!!! Never to influence even the dirt under our feet. Hats off to all of our Paternal and Maternal lovers of truth and righteousness as instructed from our Almighty God above. All is Well!!! Hallelujah Grandma Luella + Aye Aye Aye brought us the VICTORY!!! Amen Amen

He’s my kind of man!

The Best!!!🍷💐💐

❤️❤️❤️

I’ve Gotta Be Me 7:20 Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong Whether I find a place in this world or never belong I gotta be me, I've gotta be me What else can I be but what I am I want to live, not merely survive And I won't give up this dream Of life that keeps me alive I gotta be me, I gotta be me The dream that I see makes me what I am That far away prize, a world of success Is waiting for me if I heed the call I won't settle down, won't settle for less As long as there's a chance that I can have it all I'll go it alone, that's how it must be I can't be right for somebody else If I'm not right for me I gotta be free, I've gotta be free Daring to try, to do it or die I've gotta be me I'll go it alone, that's how it must be I can't be right for somebody else If I'm not right for me I gotta be free, I just gotta be free Daring to try, to do it or die I gotta be me

とっても羨ましいショーです。まだ余裕の有る時代でしたね！

WOW!

Who would know the man would pass 2 years later? DONT smoke! They'll kill ya!

I'm confused. if he was born in 1925, and he performed in 1988, doesn't this make him either 62 or 63?
