To me, ever the greatest entertainer. Nowadays entertainers had copied from him but no one could ever reach him. Because of his talents being best dancer, being so funny, singing well and charming with the audience. Some 'superstars' today are not even worth to be compared to Sammy. They are lacking something whereas Sammy had it all.

I am stunned by his being able to do this from memory. The band is following their charts, turning pages frantically, but he has no sheet music...and he hits the horn punches PERFECTLY in sync with the band. His time is so on the money it blows me away...45 years of playing the drums, formal music education to boot, and all I can do is shake my head and smile...Sammy, you were unbelievable, man....

Sammy was the very definition of “showman.” He could do it all, and joyfully. I can’t even fathom the practice required to reach the skill level shown here.

If you don’t adore Sammy there’s something seriously wrong with you! Unmatched talent, there’s no one like him!

There are no words, literally, to describe this man's talent. There will NEVER be another like him......

He can act. He can dance. He can sing. Very rare.

You can tell how amazing he was by looking at the faces of the guys in the band. They're in awe

I realize I don't even have the capacity to comprehend the genius...

Appreciated the comments below. This level of talent and mastery is evidence of a generational talent. Mr. Davis, you were one of a kind.

OMG!! Talent, class and style! What a man! 😍

And this, folks, is why he'll live forever...

There will never be another Sammy Davis Jr. A legendary entertainer who passed too young.

Sammy Davis Jr was a phenomenal tap dancer.He tap danced so we his tap dancing sounded like someone on a typewriter typing real fast.

OMG, I can’t stop watching this over and over. I’ve seen Sammy D dancing in clips and vids before but this one I’ve never seen until now and I never realized how mesmerizing and fascinating he is. He took tap dancing to a whole other level and crafted it to his own style. I love how he literally OWNS this performance. I can only imagine how seeing him live and in person was really like! He’s a true legend indeed who doesn’t really get his due. Salute to you Mr. Davis.✊🏽😊😍😎

Older Punk Rocker here, a Heavy Rock fan and lover of hard edged modern music… I absolutely appreciate and applaud the talent Sammy D Jr had, there was very little the man couldn’t do. Hours and hours of work, year after year would have been put into practice in order to make his singing, piano playing, dancing and drumming look effortless. A true legend who deserves the accolade so readily given to others far less deserving. Absolutely Brilliant 🔥❤️🔥

They broke the mold when Sammy Davis Jr. was born.

Wow. The man made it look so easy. He ooozed talent. Class act. We miss you Mr Davis. There will never be another one like you. I love you for the memories you gave my dad and I. Rest in Peace Dad. Rest in Peace Mr Bojangles love ya both

Ppl today don't realize how BAD Sammy was. GOD given talent, Brotha could do it ALL.

Will never be entertainers like this anymore. Truly amazing talent. This wasn't even his best stuff

“World’s greatest entertainer” Well he certainly makes a strong argument.

There will never be skills like this in today's generation. We're too fat and lazy.... playing video games and watching videos like these on KZfaq!! 😅😅

EVERY INCH an entertainer!!! Sing, dance, play music, act, he was one of the great ones!!!

Three words,... Amazing, incredible. Unbelievable. That's Sammy 😅

MAGNIFICENT PREFORMENCE BY THE" WORLD'S GREATEST ENTERTAINER " !! HIS TECHNICAL TAP DANCING SKILLS ARE UNSURPASSED!! BRAVO,MR.DAVIS,BRAVO!!!!!

The best thing I can say about this great man is: Play the video again!

Look of ease on his face while tapping intricate steps and rhythms. Sign of a master. What talent.

After watching him sing "what kind of fool i am" on another video, i am simply in awe of this man.. legend...

The man was a super Rock Star....what a tallent. RIP, Sammy

He was a great singer & dancer. He had it all. Nobody tops him. RIP

Thanks, Sammy. I play this when I m blue. You young there!

Sammy Davis Jr., AKA the notorious SDJ! The man of a thousand talents, charm, witt, skill, endurance, and crowd pleasing taps! Never will there ever be another like this brother, hands down!

He can do everything!!!! Genius!!!!

He was Excellent all around great entertainer. I met him once. So honored to have met him.

SDJ directed the music and audiences imagination with his performances. There will never be another tap performer like him. He was beyond great.

Keep in mind that Sammy has been tap dancing since he was a kid - a LITTLE kid! Ergo, this comes as naturally to him as breathing would to any of us.

Sammy Davis Jr. Was a Class Act and Multi-Talented Entertainer of which we will never see the likes of ever again....Graciousness is not a trait Entertainers understand today at all!.....It sets you apart from everyone else and that’s what sets Sammy Davis Jr. apart....He is the epitome of Show Business....Valerie Craft Kitover

a gifted man. no more Sammy, some just can sing and dance. so complete as an entertainer

Hi 👋, he was an extremely talented man with a beautiful voice, great actor and more! Sorry he is gone. We don’t have talent like that today! ❤️🌷.

The man was just beyond believable here. So much talent in such a little chunk.

Im bout to start tap dancing for therapy/exercise to strenghten my legs/knees and such.

The greatest entertainer of all time

Who can forget such a lovable man!

He slid in some Flamenco at 2:38. Pure, extraordinary, genius talent.

Sammy is one of the most underrated men in the business. He had a gift that is all too rare today, he was an entertainer! He sang, danced, played piano and drums and probably more talents that I am not aware of. His version of Mr. Bojangles is superb! We miss ya' Sammy!

The Greatest Entertainer EVER!

Pure magic, just subscribed. I met Sammy back in 1989, a few months before he died. I never got over meeting one of my idols. RIP.

There's only one comment that's needed,Sammy Davis jr.was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.

A very long time ago we saw Sammy Davis Jr. live at the Huntington Hartford Theatre in Los Angeles . What talent!!

This is a gem! Sammy Davis, Jr. was the GREATEST (GOAT) all-around ENTERTAINER in the history of “show biz.” (Singer, Dancer, Impressionist, Musician, Actor)

Wow!!....and thats entertainment!💗💗💗Thank You for the memories Sammy!

Back then, singers weren't just singers like they are today. They had personality, a comic sense, and they could dance and sing equally well. Sammy and the Rat Pack are examples of perfect entertainers. The stakes were higher back then, though, people knew the difference between excellence and mediocrity.

Just amazing. One of the most talented overall entertainers ever...not just the best tap dancer ever, but a great singer, great sense of humor, he could play the drums, do impressions, on it goes. RIP

This man! Wow!! America needs another SDJr!

I started tap classes a year and a half ago, and Sammy is my favourite tap dancer out of all the amazing ones there were and are. I just sit and watch and stare at his feet and I just can't figure out how the hell he does it! I mean, it looks like they are barely moving and yet the sounds that come out - there are so many and so fast with rhythms so complex - he just blows my mind! Honestly, how on earth did he do it?! ☺I try to discern the movements and I'm just fascinated. He was the epitome of cool, an all-round fantastic entertainer, fabulous voice, great dancer, and that tapping....!!!

I'm so grateful that I can still capture these times. Thank you Mr. Davis.

Go Sammy Go!!! Sammy was a Triple Threat baby! Could do it all! Today's cats "can never", and "will never" touch him!!

It will never be another tap dancer like Sammy. He was and will always be the best entertainer. Love to see this movie!!!!!!

Wow..just insane...how Great of an Entertainer this Man was.....

My man!!! Thanks for everything Sammy! x

I’d forgotten what an amazing dancer Sammy was! Fantastic!

Just beyond real. Fantastic! The best tap Ive ever seen, althought he cLark brothers and the nicholas brothers pretty amazing too

An absolute master and inspiration for so many. Every school student in America should learn about him and what is possible. What a role model.

This man is unquestionably the greatest all round entertainer the world has ever or will ever see. God bless his precious soul

The ultimate entertainer! He was extraordinary at everything!!!!

Sammy was the greatest friend I ever had and greatest entertainer I've ever known. He taught me how to dance but that is not the most important thing he taught me. Humility, Love for one another, self respect and respect for others. Grace, kindness and charity towards those less fortunate! He was my best friend and mentor and I have missed him everyday since he passed. Thank you Sammy for sharing your insights with me and for the greatest lesson I ever learned, to never be afraid of getting back up and keep going, no matter how hard the fall! You overcame more obstacles than most, which include horrific racism and severe physical injuries. You made your extraordinary talents look easy. Your sense of humor and your self deprecation showed me how to laugh at myself. Thank You for everything! I hope I made you proud Mr. Bojangles!

Sammy Davis Jr. one of the greatest performer of all time, super talented. RIP

Nobody else can seriously be considered the greatest a) dancer, b) singer, c) actor, d) comedian, e) storyteller AND-seeing this performance let’s face it- f) athlete of his time or perhaps ever. God, we lost a great one, but thank goodness for video.

That has to be the best tap dancing I have seen. Tasteful. Choreographed with class. This was great.

Truly a lost art.

His talent was unreal. It's one thing to know how to do multiple things, it's other worldly to know multiple things and be a master at them

I love listening and watching anything with Sammy Davis!!!!

I wish people had the social acceptance they do nowadays with the style, flavor, hardworking and professionalism that they did back in these days.

😮😮😮wowwwww i wish i lived in these times because the amount of real art and creation that was back then music art served it's real purpose compared to nowadays ❤❤❤❤

What a generously long and unbelievably articulate display.

God blessed Sammy Davis with god given tremendous talent!❤

What a unique talent! Like the world has never seen before, or will see again. Masterful.

Great Scott, this is too marvellous 🧐

One of the greats! What talent-all round too. Brilliant!Deano and him together=Magic.❤️

Sammy D. And Gregory H. My ultimate favorites.❤

Sammy you were magical RIP sir we miss you 😢

this is beyond entertainment. it's excellence

Even the band was watching in amazement

I have watch him so much on tv or at the movies boy could he Act an sing an Dance an all around jack of all trades what a wonferful Guy

He was one heck of a entertainer you wanted a musician he could do it you wanted a singer he could do it you wanted to tap to answer he could do it if you wanted a comic or a movie star guess what he could do it I miss Sammy and he always treated everybody the way he wanted to be treated he didn't preach at you he showed you with action to me that's priceless

The Absolute Best. Well done Mr. Davis well done. Thank you.

I seriously hope I can get this Sammy Davis Jr. Biopic, that everyone is loving, made. So dang iconic

The main reason that Sammy is the best of all time is that his sheer anatomy being that of a small man, light on his feet, slim fitting suits, to me represented the most essential skill of tap. Tap has to create the illusion of being effortless…and that’s what Sammy did along with grace, skill, and making it fun. Now don’t get me wrong…I’m not saying that Kelly, Hines, Glover, and the numerous other greats didn’t do their thing…that’s not the point…the point is Sammy took out the literal bulkiness of heavy clothing…complexity of trying to add way too much improv…and just letting the feet do the work…combined with superb acting…singing…and being a true showman…well that’s enough for me…and that to me is why he’s the greatest entertainer and tap dancer of all time.

…multi-talented. Way, way ahead of his time. A true entertainer.

Thanks for posting this great performance today

The Greatest Entertainer who ever lived, no one comes close.❤

Would have loved to have seen him live. Most high energy performance ever, I'm sure.

I absolutely loved this man

One of the greats. Thank you for sharing!!!

Speechless 😮👏👏👏

One of the entertainers of the 20 th century

Is he really goin dat fast? It sounds like he's moving his feet 10 miles per second.

I'm taking tap soon because Sammy inspired me. I'm an entertainer already, so this will add to my performances. 💯

I simply love it and that was an amazing tap routine!!!

Love his style
