Pound for pound--Sammy was the most multi-talented entertainer in history. He could sing, dance, act, do impressions, comedy, etc.--and do them ALL extremely well. Gifted as a young child--he worked harder than the vast majority of them.

For those who don't know: Davis lost his left eye in a car accident at age 29 (there was a bullet-shaped horn button on the steering wheel which hit him in the eye and was redesigned by the car company after the accident).

I just got to say that of all the performers and singers I have heard, Sammy Davis Jr. had the best voice I have heard for a male singer. Englebert Humperdinck is another one who had such a voice but there are not many. Listen to him sing I gotta be me once and you will almost cry. What a talent and what a range with his voice. His dancing was something else too. He was the best.

@dc8058 Жыл бұрын

I really love that guy - what an honest interview! There have been very few talents we are lucky enough to have preserved on video who match Sammy Davis Junior, very VERY few. To have that much talent and heart in one tiny-framed person - what a treasure and a gift to those of us lucky enough to have been on the receiving end of some of his performances. One of the best artists ever born.

I think the world today would break his heart. He worked so hard to break down barriers, defeat racism, he was a universalist. Maybe 25 yrs ago we reached peak improvement. At the time of his death 33 yrs ago things were much improved. However the last 10yrs have seen us going backwards. Racism has got much worse again, on both sides but worst coming from elements on the black side. All being stirred up by the loony left, politically correct, WOKE brigade. In the last 5 or 6 yrs in particular the left has become really vicious. If you dare disagree with anything they say you are a right wing fascist . They cannot see that their intolerance is the real fascism. Very sad to see. I guess harmony doesn't suit the vested interests. Yes Sammy would be very sad to see the wreckage today.
