Sammy was probably the most humble guy in the entertainment business. He was an exceptional singer. He could dance very well and his acting, both comediec and dramatic, were above reproach. He deserved more noteriety then he actually received,. Maybe because of race. But nevertheless, he will go down as one of the greatest performers of all time.

Sammy Davis, Jr. has got to be the greatest one-man-show entertainer of all time. I can't think of anyone like him. A great singer, dancer, stand up comedian...you name, it he did it......and without back up singers or chorus dancers popular nowadays who can mask the shortcomings of today's performers. Sammy was pure talent and I was privileged to watch him perform live on 3 different occasions.

Wow! I hadn’t heard Sammy in years, then stumbled across this video and can’t stop playing it. This is the man at his peak... A stunning song from a brilliant performer. It showcases the artistry of his phrasing as well as his passion and pure vocal power. Every note effortless, as natural as breathing. And he was an entertainer in every sense of the word - singer, dancer, actor, musician, comedian, impressionist... The kind of complete performer who was rare even then and doesn’t exist anymore. Sam was immensely talented, truly one of a kind. At his best, as he is here, there was simply no one better.

They weren't a passing trend or fad. They didn't need an army of backup dancers or bizzare lighting arragments to make a show. All they had to do was show up. Crooning and swooning with class and talent singing a song that was delightful, not frightful. Just a man, a mic, and a melody to sing to.
