This may sound corny buy Sammy davis jr was a gift sent from the up above to this planet to brighten up people’s lives. I only wish i was born in his era so i could of gone to see him perform and enjoy his insane talents....Sammy sang the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game sometime in during the 1970’s, i was dumbfounded hearing him sing, i was moved to tears and i’m not american and i’m not a baseball fan... That was the true genius Sammy davis jr was. Rip Sammy.

I saw him late in his life with Sinatra. He performed this dazzling break dance, after which, Sinatra revealed to the audience that Davis had undergone hip replacement surgery just five months earlier! A most remarkable entertainer who literally gave his all to the audience. He may not have been as funny as Dean Martin, he may not have been quite the vocalist as Sinatra, but hell, overall, he was the most gifted and talented of the "Rat Pack" and anywhere else. He could do it all--brilliantly. ❤

No interruptions, no vulgarity, no grand-standing, no hogging up the stage, a class A act all the way, and that's just for starters. DC is like no other talk-show host out there. And, Sammy Davis, wow, what talent. Tragic story, though. I read his autobiography "Yes, I Can" back when it was first published, left a lasting impression. A black man who suffered so much yet gave so much back. They don't make folks like Sammy anymore. RIP, I still miss the man, good to see him again on this site.

I mean bcuz why would you do that on someone's channel?! I get that not everyone likes everything & everybody;....but it's like then don't watch...I usually like everything I watch, whether it's cut great or not...Hey your most likely watching free through your internet & if you see something you don't like don't watch & I figure if someone has taken' the time upload it, especially older stuff like this...Which people relly put time into uploading from probably from a much older medium to the internet so you can enjoy or not! Ya know, if I watch & I'm choosing to watch something, I will just like, bcuz they took the time to do so...If your going to hate or you don't like someones channel & or the person on the show, Don't watch!

I saw Sammy perform live at a "theater in the round" in the early 1980's when I was 10. To this day he is hands down the best live performer I've ever seen. His command of the stage was astounding, made even more so by the fact that he had to play to an audience all around him, 360º. Not one audience member left that show feeling anything less than 110% entertained. His talents were mind blowing. Singing, dancing, jokes, voices, bantering with the audience. All with such ease. He was born to do what he did, and he did it at the highest level possible.
