This man's life is infinitely more interesting and fantastic than Sinatra and Dino's put together and yet he gets a fraction of the respect and attention he deserves. He was fantastic.
He pretended to dub the piano player with his long shoehorn, and instead of knighting him, as the Queen would, he said, "Sorry, George. You're a chocolate malted." A malted milkshake, in other words, with chocolate ice cream, because the pianist was black. A white person couldn't make such a remark without repercussions, but a fellow African American could. OK?
Genius.It saddens me to see Ashley Banjo hailed as a "Great Dancer" Sammy was light on his feet and performed with style and grace.Banjo is a Circus act gymnastic performer and it worries me the he teaches dance classes ignoring the classic disciplines of past years .He is also a racist .
Sammy Davis jr, was legendary.
Aww, Sure can't forget a guy like Sammy Davis Jr.!! He was a triple threat guy, he could dance, act and sing!! Sammy, you were one of a kind!!
You said that right!!
He was also a drummer
Never be ANOTHER like him.
I watch these dances and see the roots of house dancing in them. This is true artistry right here.
Amazing!!! ... the one and only Sammy Davis Jr. ... pure talent!!!
There was a billboard shortly after we lost him, "He took our breath away. Smoking took his."
Sammy you were. Pure TALENT 💗💗💗
Such rare and true artist. Love you Sammy.
You know Sammy could do the old soft shoe !!! Look at that tap dancing though out of this world!!! Never be anyone again as talented as Sammy was!

He was fantastic.
You are exactly right.
Now that's talent.
Sammy should be getting a Biopic soon
I can't imagine anyone doing him justice
I'm only here because of When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong
Does it bother anyone else that, through a great deal of this wonderful number, the film doesn't show his feet? Just me?
So effortlessly.

this guy had match sticks for legs.
0:51 proof even something like an extendable shoe horn was seen as silly and pretentious... I would know cause I used to have one!
Never dropped an ash.
Like si viniste aquí después de ver una entrevista del Joker
Love Sammy but soft shoe? Do you know what your talking about or putting out there? Whatever
soft shoe is a different dance from tap and it’s what he’s doing here. It’s pretty much obsolete now
I still do soft shoe dancing
