This guy was a genius; it breaks my heart see how he was treated by venue owners, etc. He wasn't allowed into restaurants with white diners and some hotels refused to accommodate him. I cannot believe the cruelty; yet until the day he died, he led his life with such dignity and charm. We could all learn something from this lovely and talented man. The best all-round entertainer of his time......and some!

Fantastic.. just fantastic. Sammy was/is a man of great dignity without doubt an absolutely lovely gentleman. The worlds a sadder place without you sir. Till we meet again..
The intonations of his voice, so unique and intuitive. He gives a kind of Jazz twist to the melody too, his own style, brilliant interpretation of Burt Bacharach's composition. It's amazing too how he suddenly strikes up the orchestra too - hadn't even taken his jacket off and still puffing on a cig ha!! He also evokes a kind of euphoria with his gestures, and even the way he dances and physically/soulfully becomes so involved with the music, a healing uplifting performance that gives me goose bumps every time I return to this... and many times. He naturally bends the notes and comes spot on with pitch too. To think too of his private life and all he surmounted in his life, a minority, a black man who beat the odds, amazing. Oh, not to miss mentioning his great sense of humor!
@@terrylawrence8362 Hi Terry! Your message comes poignantly as I was just feeling down in my self-imposed existentialist quandry etc plus just minutes ago realizing I turned off my refridgerator 26 hours ago before I recorded some music and lost $112 worth of meat, eggs, and cheese. I've worked a lot at songwriting and general nonfiction/journal/fiction/screenplay but all great for my soul or to me but to very few else ha! Thanks for your kind words!
The dude is performing like a Boss! Making jokes, and smoking! SMOKING!!! LOL!!! he's so smooth and relaxed of there that he botches the lyric at the beginning of TGE song and recovers so smooth that you don't even notice. Then he starts singing as easily as he's talking...THATS an entertainer.
Perhaps the MOST dynamically diverse entertainer of all-time; singing, multi-instrumentalist, actor, impersonator, dancer, gun tricks...no doubt, there's a lot more to this singular, childhood prodigy!
Total perfection,that was Sammy's trademark. He made everything look easy with his many talents. My wife and I saw him live back in 1982 and we were in pure heaven for the two hours of his singing, drumming, vocal imitations, tapping, and dancing like James Brown, Michael Jackson and others, and telling jokes. Sammy did it all, right up to ending with "Mr. Bojangles", that brought on two encores. We let him go after that, we could see that he was tired, and he sure gave us one heck of a show.
This unique guy had a tremendous self-awareness. A love of life almost unequalled. A great love of jazz - and music itself. A fireball of a character. A wonderful singing voice. Hell, who was his equal in every aspect?
I really appreciate this video. I've watched this over and over again. Sammy's so young and natural improv shows deep into his spirit and character. You can see his careless, unrestrictive, free following performance that leaves me in awe. It's like we're hanging out and Sammy just gets up and performs. Real natural, possibly high, possibly exhausted, but with all the feeling of his life and his life experiences displayed while singing this song. It's extraordinary and fantastic. A one of a kind man. The world truly has lost a talent. RIP SAMMY. AMEN
We were so privileged to see Sammy at the Melbourne Tennis Centre in March 1989, a little over a year later, we lost this fantastic entertainer. Its a great tribute to the man to see all these comments.
They actually did that live on the spot? Man that performance was unbelievable! Im going to learn this song just like that. The bass is "so slammin!" The vocals, my lord Sammy's vocals!! Thank you so much for posting this work of art!
One of my best memories is I was able to see him perform at a Casino in Lake Tahoe. He even sang and danced to Mr. Bojangles. it was magic to listen and watch him.
Sammy was so cool. So smooth. Look how he works the camera (makes it so personal). What a talent! I hate that he had to get old and eventually die. Wish he could stay like that forever.
HAHA. Thank god. I take it you liked Sammy's song? I hope you did. He's from my generation and I really miss the few tv stations we had because the programs were good, believe it or not. So, now I've got the internet to enjoy Tech 9, or Sammy, and all music in-between. My world is wide open now, music, culturally. I'm glad to have lived when I did, glad to enjoy rap, rock, blues, old country, classical, music is wonderful!

Sammy Davis Jr. is missed in this world. Who's listening in 2024?
🙋🏻♀️ he's a cool cat with talent beyond ❤️
Read his autobio..."Yes,I can"...amazing man..
I love that song. I just dicovered it and I am addicted from it❤

@@nicolamandorino6043 sabes que el fue mitad latino?
why not just celebrate one of the worlds greatest entertainers that ever lived ? Why make him a victim, he certainly never thought of himself as one.
The most talented all around showman in history. No one compares to his talent.
Mr Magic - the best 💪💪💪
the absolute coolest rendition of this song ever!
There aren’t performers like this man anymore. The music, showmanship and charisma can not be matched. Only ever one Sammy.
Love his timing with the lyric. Best male singer ever!
Absolutely. The Greatest Entertainer of All Time ❤️
What can one say: he was the most incredible performer, ever!!!
The intonations of his voice, so unique and intuitive. He gives a kind of Jazz twist to the melody too, his own style, brilliant interpretation of Burt Bacharach's composition. It's amazing too how he suddenly strikes up the orchestra too - hadn't even taken his jacket off and still puffing on a cig ha!!

Oh, not to miss mentioning his great sense of humor!
When he kicks in at 1.45 , the power, then he switches again ....beautifully done.
I loved him when I was 5 years old. He remains one of the coolest cats ever. Power, strength and bravery.
Beautifully expressed Sir you would be an excellent author 🙇 Respect

Also the vibrato in his voice during the chorus is masterful.

Musical silk ! Just so damn smooth ! Only Sammy , only Sammy . nuff said.
There was nothing Sammy couldn't do.
My God, this man was a genius!
Sammy didn't have talent, he was talent.
Sammy was in my mind the greatest entertainer of the last Century.
Wow! You go Sammy! Love that he wasn't afraid to just wing it, and he sang the hell out of it!

Sammy would perform until he had nothing left in the tank - the best all round performer ever 💪💪💪
Emotion. Real ACTUAL emotion, and you can see it . . . you can feel it . . . you can hear it. So glad I found this. What a legend.
WICKED COOL!!! This version will go down as the best in history.
+Susan Graham I still prefer Herb Albert's version, but I was always a big fan of Sammy.
+UsfanlovesMinho But you gotta admit pal this version Sammy did has more SASS!
Susan Graham I do like his style, he was always unique and that voice was great. I still miss him.
:)
Quite right Susie Q.
This unique guy had a tremendous self-awareness. A love of life almost unequalled. A great love of jazz - and music itself. A fireball of a character. A wonderful singing voice. Hell, who was his equal in every aspect?
Yes he was multi talented, hell, he even played drums.
Yep, he was a one man show - could keep an audience captivated all by himself.
Back in the day, there were musicians, and there were singers. Sammy was BOTH!!!! God bless his soul....
Well played with that unmistakable Sammy touch of class. Well done Sammy, Thanks. Peace...
The best version so far, Fantastic only Sammy Davis Jr. could do it. With incredible feeling OMG!! We miss you so much!
OWNING just about every performer alive today.

My dream performance is to bring back Sammy Davis Jr. giving spirit.

Correct is it Burt Bucharac the composer of this song
My hands are Shaking........

The perfect marriage of a master singer and a master song writer. just enjoy the brilliance of a true genius.dont focus on the negativity.

The best moment in time. To be in that theater would have been so great. I love UA-cam.
I love you for ever, Sammy!
He was a victim of racial discrimination. RIP Sammy D jr.
Such clear diction very rare these days lol Sammy my parents loved you
He was such a genius! Sammy was one of the cats that got me into collecting records as a kid, that was about a thousand years ago!
🤣😀
Ha it seems like it huh, I'm 69 and always thought this man had class, the voice, miss you !
We were so privileged to see Sammy at the Melbourne Tennis Centre in March 1989, a little over a year later, we lost this fantastic entertainer. Its a great tribute to the man to see all these comments.
Sammy had a serious internal conflict about his race. This led him to be one greatest entaintainers ever.
Absolutely the greatest bar none. The absolute G.O.A.T
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
one of my first crushes on celebrities was Sammy. He was so talented and tried so very hard to entertain his audience. A true entertainer.
Back again for another listen , what a star
How great singer was Sammy Davis Junior...!!!!!!!
The coolest cover of this song ever . Only Sammy ! That's all that has to be said.
The epitome of cool , class, talent and soul
The Best there was.
this is called a class act
Un gran cantante, actor, bailarín, showman: Un gran ARTISTA. Love you, Sammy
"In color, but you can't see it". Lol. I think he was probably one of the funniest men around when I was a kid, but I was too young to understand.
Funny jus like jerry lewis, yes?
1emmain. Sammy cracked me up on I dream of jeannie, funny dude.
It's nice to come back home. Thank you for everything. The candy man. Texas
oh man just freakin awesome. This is what you call real music/ Raw...
i've been watching sammy davis jr videos all day and this is the best one yet
THIS VERSION IS THE BEST HE WAS SO UNDERATED AS A PERFORMER VERY COOL
Oh my God... this is so good.
They actually did that live on the spot? Man that performance was unbelievable! Im going to learn this song just like that. The bass is "so slammin!" The vocals, my lord Sammy's vocals!! Thank you so much for posting this work of art!
One of my best memories is I was able to see him perform at a Casino in Lake Tahoe. He even sang and danced to Mr. Bojangles. it was magic to listen and watch him.
All i can say is WOW!
Yes, I'm in love.. Who listens to this song the way I do? :-)
One of the BEST ENTERTAINERS of ALL TIME!
So Cool! and he Smoked like a dragon!!?? How did those guys of the 60's & 70's sound so good and smoke/Drink soooo Hard???
Trully love this man.. his voice is superb.. he kills this song..
This performance. Beyond greatness.
All of Sammy Davis, Jr.'s amazing songs and only the silly "The Candy Man" made it to the Top 40. SMDH. His 60's work was beyond cool...
I’ve heard many sammy versions of this but this the BEST
I grew up watching Sammy with my grandparents. I never realized what a cool guy he is until I watched this video. Thanks for posting.
throat cancer. miss you Sammy, you were a one of a kind cat!
Sammy was so cool. So smooth. Look how he works the camera (makes it so personal). What a talent! I hate that he had to get old and eventually die. Wish he could stay like that forever.
Sammy was a class act - miss him. What a cool cat.
Ohhh I AM in love with this guy...ALWAYS!

I love you Sammy.
Love this man and his music!!!!!!!!
Brilliant version ....
HAHA. Thank god. I take it you liked Sammy's song? I hope you did. He's from my generation and I really miss the few tv stations we had because the programs were good, believe it or not.
