I saw Sammy live four times. I was the lucky one. I cried so the day he died. He was truly the best showman that ever lived and I miss his voice so. Rest in Peace Sam...I love you!
SAMMY DAVIS JUNIOR! Sammy was known as "The World's Greatest Entertainer." I totally agree! Frank Sinatra, who I love, could sing fabulously and act. But when it came to entertaining Sammy Davis Junior was the best ! He sang, he danced, he acted in Broadway shows, he did impersonations. He was amazing and is missed by people worldwide! May God bless Sammy Davis Junior!
Yes! Mr. Davis was a singer, actor, dancer. He's my favorite performer that ever lived. Get this... he was also an excellent photographer and a chef. Truly the most talented performer that ever graced the planet.
He was that. I was lucky enough to see him live 15 times; twice in London at the Palladium, and the other times at Caesar's in Lake Tahoe. He could electrify the entire room with a snap of his fingers.
the crowd should have immediately gave him a standing ovation, that was one of the most powerful and emotion filled show endings ive ever seen in my lifetime, glad i started thinking of old show tunes the other day, sammy davis was the first on my mind, but i had no idea, this is so powerful, he actually made me cry...bravo sammy, bravo!
SAMMY DAVIS JR. was fantastic. Few if any entertainers today can even remotely compare to this great singer , dancer, and great entertainer! May God Bless Sammy Davis Jr.
I am in tears! Ol Man River is a song that is very familiar to me. I sing it often. It takes a master to make a familiar song so unique. as if it's never been performed before, and will never be performed again. No one has done it like Sammy. not before, not now, and never again.
Lol, I'm a dancer that loves "choreography" yet that didnt offend me at all. He was one of the fathers of showbiz, and I so look up to him. What an inspiration.
Thank you Mr Sammy Davis Jr.. We are so lucky to have actually seen you in our life time and truly appreciate when an artist has been blessed with talent, charisma and endless love and joy which you share with the world. Thank you!! RIP
He had moer talent in his pinky fingernail than most people can dream of. I remember when I was kid my Parents liked Sammy, Sinatra, Dean Martin etc. This type of music started to connect with me some time in my mid twenties. This stuff is timeless and God bless youtube for making it available for upcoming generations, and God bless Sammy Davis Jr. for his contribution to the arts and humanity.
SAMMY DAVIS JR! Sammy was known years ago as "The World's Greatest Entertainer." He was!! This great man could sing beautifully, dance with grace and polish, he was a Broadway Theater Actor! I saw him perform in a Broadway show called "Golden Boy." Here Sammy shows us just how great he was! Amazing tap dancing plus great singing! May God Bless Sammy Davis JR!
Mr. Samuel Washington Davis Jr., You are the only One that music plays to Your lead. I thank you for being You, and RUclips for allowing me to watch you perform, and teach the younger generation how to be a Professional.
If talent is the measure,Sammy Davis Jr was the greatest entertainer in the 20th century-everyone- absolutely everyone-who sees him perform should remember that he paid his dues as well-some heavy dues-that paved the way for others to follow a little more easily-god bless his soul-and thanks ever so much for posting this example of his work
Sammy Davis Jr truly is the most versatile entertainer and one of the most talented. It was my love for Michael Jackson (another one of the greats) that introduced me to Sammy Davis Jr... They loved each other and I love them both. Sammy Davis Jr was the template for the consummate performer! I long for this kind of talent in our day and age. It is truly soooo rare!
Not many like him anymore. He hit each genre with grace, style and always humor. Think how screwed up the times were back then yet Sammy was loved by all.
Never have been touched and amazed by any other singer and dancer, like I have been by Sammy Davis Jr. What a weird personality, what an unbelievably talented man.
I loved watching Sammy on TV when I was little. It's too bad that a lot of kids today don't know who he is. He is one of the greatest of all time. We still love you Sammy
He really was a huge entertainer. I love his tap dance. I remember I wanted to learn how to tap Dance, and Flamenco Castanets, and I couldn't because my mom was not affiliated to the communist party, the ONLY party in Cuba, The "socialist party of Fidel Castro. I remember my girlfriends in the 3rd floor in the building did, and were trying to teach me and even let me practice with her castanets, but with time and the division of political issues, our parents, we grew apart. Then I came to Cuba. Mom why didn't you at least did volunteer ? I asked myself., then I understood. I always loved Tap dance !!! I just read about the roots of it and thanks the encyclopedia, I learn something today.
There are very few people in the history of performance who pull off any of this the way Sammy does!! Want to learn about showbiz folks - watch this!!!
Its one thing to 'do it all' well enough to be cast, or well enough not to embarrass yourself when its called for. Its another to do it all WELL. He did it all WELL. As a singer or a dancer, he was exceptional. This is not just talent. Can you imagine the hours of practice and time it takes to keep your voice sharp, learn new songs,keep your steps agile and learn the routines, your comic timing down learn your lines, and your impressions fresh? Each discipline requires hours upon hours of constant work to stay at the top of your game. There are only 24 hours in a day.
This was wonderful...HE WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY VISION AND I GOT UP AND CHECK HIM OUT..WOW...THAT IS A WHOLE LOT OF PERFORMING...AMAZING AND HE HAS SUCH spirit with what he do..his heart is deep in it..THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO
this is on of my fav videos of sammy and you have to like him because he has so much feel in his song and dance and he is one who changed the world with many other people and this is a video that proves it. and any song he sang so one can compare to this song and many many others thanks to the person who put this video on
I've been looking for a clip to represent HIM in my "All time favorites" playlist - I'm so glad I found this, will put it straight there. WONDERFUL. Thank you so much for posting! I've got goosebumps and a tear in my eye இڿڰۣڿڰღ

Sammy Davis, Jr. was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century.
The tap dancing was astounding. But it all is. We shall never see his like again. What a genuine star.
With respect to all who are and have been entertainers, this man was beyond a doubt the greatest entertainer the world has known.

Love Sammy Davis Jr. I just wished we had had him for longer. What a performer and he gave so much of himself, very rare.
Not many like him anymore. He hit each genre with grace, style and always humor. Think how screwed up the times were back then yet Sammy was loved by all.
He was the greatest performer of his time. I just wish we had come farther. It is still the same in America. People just don't pay attention.
Never have been touched and amazed by any other singer and dancer, like I have been by Sammy Davis Jr. What a weird personality, what an unbelievably talented man.
Sammy DAVIS Jr should be on this list. Amazing and talented singer and dancer.
Sammy was a great entertainer he will be missed
Did not know this man was such a talent until I saw a special about him on PBS. Thank u, PBS.
I loved watching Sammy on TV when I was little. It's too bad that a lot of kids today don't know who he is. He is one of the greatest of all time. We still love you Sammy
arguably the most talented performer ever - especially his appeal to young and old.
I agree my good friend, I'm only in my 20's sir..and I CANNOT get over the oldies! haha I'm a 59 year old at heart!
Uuuuummm ever heard of Michael Jackson????? Who was influenced by Sammy.
I grew up on this, awesome. Luv Sammy's genius, so cool, so human, so spiritual. When people were melancholy.
so much talent in a small frame.brilliant.
Wow.... fantastic and ever so gifted... nothing but respect for such an artist.
Beautiful stuff. They don't make them like Sammy anymore. RIP.
I have to say I grew up Listing to This era my dad used to listen to this all the time makes me remember Dad
Hey was and remains unparalleled in his multi- dimensional talent.
No one before or since has matched him.
Woefully under-appreciated in his day.
Never again will there be a talent like Sammy... thanks for everything....
Imagine being so talented! He was awesome!
All that amazing talent wrapped up in such a wonderful man!
Loved to see him dance, another great was Gregory Hines; may those 'hoofers' both be tapping their way through Heaven!
For those of us old enough to remember and those young enough to have missed a great entertainer
He was my favorite male singer and one of my favorite, all time performers.
God sent this precious talent to us.
the best entertainer of my time, a true Mr Wonderful
He was the ultimate entertainer...I thought so even when I was a young teens in the 70's
Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. , one COOL CAT MAN ! , this man smoothed so cool thru so many doors . from those who knew , they dont make em like this NO MO
And he could sing and was funny and played drums and... died too young. What a great great man. They don't make them like that anymore.
