Johnny and Sammy There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York

Sammy Davis tells Johnny Carson a great story about going to dinner with Elizabeth Taylor. Johnny and Sammy attempt some brain teasers thanks to Scott Morris, but the real reeason to watch this video is the music.
Mr. Davis is cooking tonight. He performs What I Did for Love and an exceptional version of Lady is a Tramp in the first section. Later he comes back with a powerful version of There's a Boat That's Leaving Soon for New York from Porgy and Bess that's must see.

Sammy Davis jr.always gave superb performances as a guest.when Sammy performed on the Jerry lewis telethon,it was similar to his concerts.there never was and never will be a talent such as Sammy Davis Jr.

If only there were a few entertainers remotely like Sammy these days. Sadly no one comes close. He was one of a kind. ❤❤

Right, he could do it all, and do it all so well. Singer, dancer, impressionist, multi-instrumentalist, and funny too.

@@Rob_Kates ,actually, Sammy did everything excellent.

Sammy Davis, Jr. the best! Love this great man.

There's a Boat That's Leaving was the best moment of the show. If only the Gershwins would release that film, a lot of people would be so happy.
