- On this day in 1985, Matt Monro passed away. He was hailed by many as the "singer's singer". Sammy was a friend and fan, he'd often performed this song, which was one of Matt's biggest hits. This performance was on Bruce Forsyth's "Big Night" in 1978.
Just loved this incredible man. The breadth and depth of his talents were astonishing. A one of in history. He has been my lifelong celebrity crush. 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
When songs of yesterday are having real messages and no auto tunes❤
The composer is Udo Jürgens, the German version is "Illusionen" and was written for the German singer Alexandra, who died 1969. English lyrics are written by Don Black.
For years I thought that Paul Anka wrote "My way", till I found the original frech version. :D Thank goodness that Udo Jürgens is remembered for many other songs as well, so no harm done. :D
@@ihno45 Indeed ! This occurs often in pop, music biz.
I m ex musician solo piano cruise ships. Just gorgeous. What a voice , what timing...brilliant.
I miss those days when music was so real , so powerful.
YOU are the one who makes it POWERFUL.⚡️
Agree
Written by the Austrian Singer Udo Jürgens. First offered to Frank Sinatra who turned it down. Big hit for Matt Monro and one of the greatest hits in Japan.
Why does Sammy then thank a Mr. Black or so for composing that song at the beginning of his performance?
@@LordOfTheBored Don Black was Matt Munro's manager. He wrote the English lyrics.
RIP Udo,Sammy,Frank & Matt
A wonderful song sung by one of the greats. Sammy was the best of his generation.
Alexandra ("Illusionen") will always be the best version for me. ❤
I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know too much about Sammy , I’m now discovering what an incredible singer he was . Passion , emotion & incredible vocals . I’m now a huge if belated fan of his .
Sammy Davis Jr. His song's are the theme of my entire life. His voice takes me home and to a much better place.
I was young, I was lucky enough to see him live....What an experience... I listen to Sammy, to feel my heart, my memories. He was 1 in a million.
Leslie Watson Sammy was absolutely brilliant amazing talent. I'm reading his biography right now. The abuse, the hatred and discrimination he endured tears my heart to pieces. Like anyone else he wanted to be treated with dignity and respect. Leslie I will never understand how a person could hate someone they never met.
@@jeribuckner3481 I wish that part of people's thinking could change. It causes me great disappointment that all these year's later. People still have to fight for their place in our country. When can we find that place, can we ever respect each other as human beings? Discrimination is unexceptable. It hurts everyone. We need to grow as people. Except our differences and move on together.
@@lesliewatson8133 Leslie I like the lyrics to Michael Jackson's song "The Man In The Mirror" We all have to do our part...Each One teach One. Enjoy this holiday season.
@@jeribuckner3481 I loved Michael Jackson. We we're born the same year and about 10 day's apart.
People wanted to believe that ugliness that was reported about him. I thought. I am a Virgo, we feel everything with our heart's first. The song's he sang. He to me was a soft soul with a huge heart.
He was gone way too soon..
When your that famous, I could not begin to imagine the isolation he lived... Performer's get millions, overall I think the price is too high...
Yes Man in the Mirror touched me deeply...
Recently discovered Sammy. This is amazing.
Amazing. Wow. He was surely blessed with an amazing voice. Gone but never forgotten.
No other singer can hold a candle to Sammy. What a perfect song for what he was put through in his life. We not only know his name we still love him and his voice. He deserved so much more respect from the entertainment world and his so called friends. He is a truly the greatest singer of all time
Just listen to the smoothness and power of his voice and try to find someone else who can up him, you can't. Phenomenal singer, entertainer, actor and all around person.
Timeless and beautiful. Sammy was the standard and sings this story soulfully
I'm such an old soul...this kind of music n especially this song by Sammy always comporting me everytime I listen to it.Thank you 😘🙏
I have been called an old soul by the most important person in my life. She may have been right.
Lord, how I miss her.🌹❤️
What a great voice, love Sammy Davis since I was a little Kid (started with Candyman Song 😍) Rest in Peace wonderful Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. we will never forget you 🙏🥀
Shirley Bassey version totally awesome remember her doing often in 70's concerts, love this Sammy Davis version they each make Matt Monro classic their own, great song...
I LOVE YOU Sammy...Thanks for the memories.
Totally out of this world...like everything the great man ever did.
He make this seem so effortless and so powerful
this song is one of my favourite all time songs also sung by much loved singer joe longthorne
You Tube is amazing. Every time I think I've seen all the Sammy stuff I see something I've never seen or even heard before. Sammy gave it all from the very beginning to the end. He should almost have his own holiday because he definitely broke the barriers for so many to follow in his foot steps. You ever notice how he always acknowledges his band or orchestra members or fellow artist who provided him with the songs he sings? He never took anything for granted and appreciated all the love his fans gave him. Hell, we still give him love as you can tell by all the comments. He entertained for the sake of bringing people together and not so much the money. Sure he used his money to live an extraordinary lifestyle but, gave so much of it back to those who needed. Todays artists, not so much the same characters.
Never heard his version . He made it sound so easy what a voice
I find myself coming back to video again and again. Sammy is one of my favourite singers. A singers singer. From the soul every time. Thanks for sharing x
Beautifully done, Sammy 💕
I sing this one ALL the time.
It makes me feel like a POWERFUL entertainer! 🌟
Sammy Davis Jr ..... what a singer. ❤Swoon!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Great voice wow! Mr. Sammy classy
You know you're the man when you can just turn around and direct your own 20 piece band and the song sounds so damn good it should be on the album.
The wham of Sam. Wonderful voice.
Imortalizada essa canção lindíssima na voz do Grandioso Sammy Davis Jr. ESPETACULAR. 👏👏👏👏💯💯💯🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sammy’s comment on Matt’s height reminded me of when my dad randomly walked into my room and started talking about Monro, he mentioned that he was a kind person and was very short
Amazing voice, rest his soul!
Beautiful voice.... ❤
Superb rendition of a great song, from the great man...
So great the genius of sammy d gave matt his place ,i love that
OMG!!! ONE of the BEST!!!
Great Singer, Great Song....
Beautiful cover
Amazing Mr Sammy!
What a treat. One and only.
Christ Almighty he's absolutely murdered this song here, the timing is everywhere but where it should be.
I love Sammys stuff but no one can touch Matt Monro's version, it's sublime.
Matt Monro sang this song, too! They are both good.
j'avais 20ans je l'ai adoré et j'ai 70ans rien ne change
Thank you Sammy. Love you.
Love this but Matt Monroe is my favourite x
In my heyday, young girls wrote to me
Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me
Everyone I saw all swore they knew me
Once upon a song
Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat
The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet
I've had every accolade bestowed on me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by
But I'm not sure how
Always posing, but you love it all
Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all
Everything I did, the world applauded
Once upon a star
Framed citations, hung on every wall
Got a scrapbook full of quotes I can't recall at all
There were times I felt the world belonged to me
And so you see
If I never sing another song
It shouldn't bother me
I've had my share of fame
You know my name
If I never sing another song
Or take another bow
I would get by
But I'm not sure how
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la
Absolutely fantastic rip great man x
Very nice song, & very bests singers who sung this song... when i heared them all, i finally concluded that this would be my retirement song also-even though i'm not a singer at all...😢❤😂
Great singer
Sweet to my ear
Sammy is a great singer!
And he is SEXY! 😘
real music
Formidable !!
of the red pack, he was and will always be the one! Love you forever Sammy... what a voice, what a talent...
Timeless and Timely!! Bravo

amazing
Very Beautiful high pitch If i never sing another stanza....
I love his version and of course Shirley Bassey,shes truly amazing each and every song
Ein Song von Udo Jürgens.
There are no words for that.
Brilliant!
... but the composer was Udo Jürgens
Sammy⚘️..😌
Muchas gracias por el placer de verte y oírte, querido Sammy
the voice
WOW!
❤❤No me canso de escuchar esta hermosísima canción ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Muito boa essa versão com o Sammy,mais longo o refrão e o timbre da voz maravilhosa
Eu vim parar aqui escutando Shirley Bassey com essa música, já tinha ouvido Samy uma vez mais acho que desisti no meio da música dessa vez fiquei surpreso com sua extensão vocal
この曲は日本ではペギー葉山さんが「歌ある限り」という曲名で歌っていました。サミーデイビスジュニアのコンサートで聴いて日本に持ち帰ったそうです。
maravilloso por siempre
Very good voice
Check out the great Joe Longthorne's version, amazing!
❤️
Soul
Some voice coming from a tiny man
Der großartige Sammy Davis Jr. gibt hier als Composer Don Black an, das ist nicht richtig: Das Original "Illusionen" ist von UDO JÜRGENS und wurde von Alexandra gesungen. Don Black hat den schönen englischen Text zusammen mit Udo Jürgens beigesteuert.
j'espere que sa voix me conduira a l'ultime
Lupeeeettt!!!!
RUclips is the closest thing to “time travel”, we have, and I for one, am glad.
Best regards Mr Davis. 🫡💚
Merveilleux !
Compared with Matt Monroe, Sammy David Jr. is more passionate and has more showmanship and loud orchestra background music in
presenting the song. Matt is like softly telling you the
life time story of a singer from climax to the point he’s not singing songs anymore.
Great voice 👌 monro's version good too
como artista era único y como interpreto esta pieza es único e irrepetible un estilo único en el universo si
One of the best interpretations of "If I Never Sing Another Song." Sammy just carries you away with his soaring, full-of-hope, chorus part of the song and I love his despondently Hebraic conclusion. I posted Englebert Humperdinck performing it about a month ago, enjoy: ruclips.net/video/9GR16WEXf4g/видео.html
Slammy, slummy, watch Foster Brooks roast Sammy, brilliant 👏.
Ok...but the recently passed English comedian Joe Longthorne sings it in a different league.
I agree Joe was fighting leukaemia and hid power was extraordinary
I agree
Como se titula en Español kizas bolbere alguna vez
I must admit that although his interpration is very good, nobody has Mat Monro's beautiful voice. Monro's slightly harshness of his vocal chords makes the song sound more manly and I wouldn't expect it to be sung by a woman.
shirley bassey
💥 Wauw ...💥
👍👍👍
Kinda makes you wonder what happens to two year old song and dance man Sam. :)
🌹
❤❤❤❤
sammy lied here. the song was composed by udo jurgens. Don black wrote the lyrics. How could he?
DEAR MUSICIANS !! Tell me, what is his microphone?
Good question
His BEST friend! 👌
I thought Don black wrote the song
🐇🚂🚂🚂🍪🥛🍾🔥🔥🔥😃🚨🚨🚨🪳🧑🦼🐒🚷🤞🧑🔬🛐🌃🎇🦭😉🪰🦐🐬😭👶🧒🧑🧓☠️🤚👏👏🤝🫂🥲🎬
SEXY GREATEST ENTERTAINER IN THE UNIVERSE! 😘
Sammy is talking nonsense because the composer is Udo Jürgens !!! What a shame to not give him the merits
No match for Matt Munroe. Much too much acting/theatrics with Sammy--making the song secondary to his inflated ego. With Munroe, he puts the song first and no acting or theatrics involved at all, just pure singing talent comes squarely across.
Can't agree more. Also Sammy was short of breath and has to suck air very oddly for several times.
No, love Sammy Davies, but don’t like this arrangement at all. Too blousy and flowery. Matt Monroes version is perfection.😊
Croon!
Best version I’ve heard.
I like this song
