I can watch Sammy old footage all day. He was the true embodiment of a triple treat performance wise and I decent human being. R.I.P SAMMY you are missed but never forgotten.
A man who open doors for everybody and was truly multi talented may he truly rest in peace the greatest Sammy Davis Jr Forever you will never be forgotten ✊
I am ecstatic to find that the BBC is finally putting this stuff back out there, and am hoping this will finally lead to the proper concert and TV footage DVD releases we deserve of Sammy. I'm tired of that being ignored here in the US!
His impersonations are impeccable - watch his facial expressions and mannerisms. His voice is like a whole orchestra packed into his diminutive body. His dancing, acting and all of the entertainment that he gave us was a gift from Heaven. I'm getting up in years and sometimes think that it might be not too long before I'll get to see the greatest entertainment together in the Heavenly skies above. WOW111
Simply Amazing. SDJ one of the Greatest Entertainers to work in showbizz. I love and reverence this cat. My gratitude JJ for your posting of this treasure.
This is what an entertainer is. No one today, and few back then too, could even hold a candle to this man. Since I was a child, this man has sang in my ear, thanks to my colorblind parents who played a vast array of artists on our record player. I bow to you , Mr. Davis. A childhood hero, indeed.
I JUST LOVE SAMMY, FRANK AND DEAN! WOW! WHAT A TIME THEY HAD HAVING FUN, LOVING EACH OTHER, JOKING, SINGING, AND ENTERTAINING US ALL. THANK YOU FRANK FOR PULLING SAMMY ALONE TO MAKE THIS THANG THE RAT PACK.
I grew up watching him as a toddler in the late 60s and has always admired him from then on. He was one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived bar none, period!!!
To all the modern day popstarrs out there. Take a long hard look at this video, or all the others about this man. Take lesson in how to actually entertain your audience. It doesn´t take lots of explosions or other gimmicks or magic tricks. It takes dedication, it hard work, it takes luck.... but most of all ... it takes talent... ACTUAL TALENT! And Sammy Davis Jr sure had talent, and even more than 25 years after his death, he still wipes the floor with all the freaking Biebers and other out there. Funny thing is that , Sammy was afraid that in time people would forget about him. Well Sam, you may rest in peace, ´cause you will never...ever... be forgotten!
Anybody but me think the very definition of Heaven, must include a two hour Sammy Davis/ Judy Garland concert for new arrivals at the pearly gates. Try to imagine the duets. I'll convert for that.
Mr joselovitz,ten minutes is not enough,listening to the greatest entertainer that ever lived.ten hours a day of sammy davis jr.would be ideal.what a great talent.no one comes even close to his talent.and thats a fact.from robert,the s.f.giant fan.
Simply the most talented man to ever set foot on a variety stage
The most talented entertainer of all time.
He was brilliant. I love it when he sings it straight. Such a beautiful voice. He deserves so much more recognition.

Sammy was a great actor, singer, songwriter, dancer, musician and comedian. This is why he was and is one of the GOAT!!!!!
A man who open doors for everybody and was truly multi talented may he truly rest in peace the greatest Sammy Davis Jr Forever you will never be forgotten ✊

I love Sammy! The man, the voice, the immense talent! Was glad to see him perform twice!

His entire act is top-notch. And then he starts tapping and it's a master class!

Brady Love.. TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Outstanding first song medley with just Sammy and a great drummer! Wow!

My favorite and the most talented of the Rat Pack. Love Mr Davis! His musicians are fantastic as well!
Try to find "The Wham Of Sam" from 1961.
It is as good as Frank's "Songs For Swingin' Lovers"
You won't be disappointed. He was a class act.
Amazing entertainer... Thank you, Sammy.
Swept!!... woAh... The Greatest Of All Time..

+Brian Turner
a whole choir made up of all the greats at the gates!
We need more of Sammy...I'm so bore with all this rapping...
Sammy reminds me of Kid Cudi so much!
You see the moves that where used later on in smooth criminal.
West Side Story Medley gives me CHILLS My question is did Sammy ever acted in West Side Story (Not the Movie Version)?
He also did a musical version of Golden boy.
Ten minutes is more than enough.

Are you on Meth?
that's entertainment;
would have liked him to sing the candy man
or ,song and dance man;
Candyman hadn’t been released yet but I know what you mean
Ya, I've always thought Davis was the the most varied entertainer and Elvis Presley the greatest popular singer ever.
