His phrasing, his musicality....incredible. This is an excerpt from a "Rat Pack" fundraiser show that aired live on my birthday, June 20, 1965. Sammy was a multi-instrumentalist, an incredible dancer, an incredible singer and so much more. He was a child prodigy. He was Sammy....in my estimation, one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and beyond. He is truly a legend.
Sammy is not "one of" but definitely THE Greatest Entertainer of All Time. God surely did a good job of breaking his mold after he was born because nobody has yet come close to matching the many talents of this great artist. Just my 2 cents.
If you want a brilliant singer, an excellent impressionist, an outstanding comedian, a superb actor, an incredible tap-dancer, an accomplished drum-player among many other things, then you call up Mr Sammy Davis Jr. MsG
Ak Jarreau thanks u!!! Ur a badaasss and 2the bone. tough as nails, humor , all of the talent. Jewish black in the 60s ,, but he beyond ROSE ABOVE BEYOND AND GAVE US ALL A GOOD LESSON . LET'S HAVE A LAUGH DOGS SAKE
I NEVER tire of watching this!! It does sadden me though to observe the somber faces of the African American musicians in the background. I wonder if they didn't like Sammy, wasn't getting paid well - I don't know....
No wayyy...where s Sammy Davis? Did we forget S D? He s th best of bests..a beast of Art..& l v just heard about him through Marylin Monroe, who was her favourite singer..along with Ella Fidgerald...she defended equality by th way, but thst s anothrr strory .. Ooo Sammy What a God
They used this song in the movie GAMER (2009) ~ wow! I have never heard of this song until now! GAMER starring Gerald Butler (his early years) the way they did this song with Sammy's voice was brilliant! OH!!!! THE MOVIE IS TERRIBLE, UMPH. BUT I HUNG IN THERE & GOT A BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE (ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE END)
Ah, the good ol' days when you actually had to have talent in order to be famous. 😍 Nowadays, any john/jane doe with auto Tune and crazy hair can be famous. No talent necessary.
After headlining at the sands in vegas. He had to go to a. Blacks only motel to sleep. When he went to the pool. The casino apologized. To the guests. When he flirted with kim novak the head of mgm. Took out a contract. Marry a black now or you are dead. Cho Cho San is a writer in phoenix. My hubby is black. I am a jew. We both do buddhism. Sammy davis jr is my favorite. nice jewish boy

I used to have a dvd of this whole concert do you by chance know the name of this one?!

It was released on dvd and I have it. Shows all the rat pack at their very best.
Incredible performer and human being. The world needs more people like Mr. Davis.
I wish this never gets taken off UA-cam..
He was amongst the best of the best entertainers -- singing, dancing, impersonations & comedy. Thanks so much for uploading this.
I had forgotten how hilarious he was. He gave me a good laugh.
summerblu here's the whole thing : ua-cam.com/video/gNeTd9bWYjE/v-deo.html
He wasnt stiff and funnier than most def
The drummer plays the EXACT same rhythm that Sammy 'sings' for him. Wow! Talent all around!!
Michael Silver had been playing drums for Sammy a good few years before this night at the sands
@@mrcrazyjonpresents4312 can you suggest some albums to put me up on game with Sammy?
@@ClintonJohnson714 Rat Pack box set got loads of sammy in that lot

Amazing. Only drums and a voice. He fills the void with the talent of an entire orchestra.
Coolest performance ever
One of my favorite male vocalists in popular music - in his element.
With the Count Basie orchestra no less...
I like all his interpretations
this guy... epic voice and singer + dancing like a god :D we need more people like that in those times like now
Words fail... What a talent . Such an expression of "Human" I am humbled
certainly one of the top entertainers ever....
philippekogler .. Yes he was! Wow thank you for this video wow!

Sammy Davis Jr was the musical truth
Sammy 💕
I NEVER tire of watching this!! It does sadden me though to observe the somber faces of the African American musicians in the background. I wonder if they didn't like Sammy, wasn't getting paid well - I don't know....
I noticed that too. It's like they don't wanna be there or something
My guess is that as musicians they were sad to see how the greatest entertainer on earth did not or hardly, needed them.
james callaghan So true.... I LOVE this video....
Kathy Miller here's the whole concert : ua-cam.com/video/gNeTd9bWYjE/v-deo.html
They were probably tired 😂
Fantastic!!!!👏👏👏👍
He's so cool...salute✌ no no one...can actually get away with doing this type of freestyle scatting anymore...or they scared
Sammy Davis, Jr. Sammy Davis, Jr. Brother thing
Marvelous
I remember seeing him do this on T V in the early to mid 60's. If not this performance, it was one just as good. But I know it was this one.
Was there anyone, past or present, cooler than Sammy Davis, Jr.?
nope
OMG...just astonishing!
Genius! Just like that!
Amazing!!!!
Love this
That's it! Oh yeah!
Outstanding
Go man Go!
The BEST
Sammy should have run a "groove-on weightloss clinic." Just keep your groove-on and you'll shake the whole world's shit off.
When I watch this and then I hear One Direction I say "what the fuck happenned to music?"
It died.
Huh...music has genres
No wayyy...where s Sammy Davis? Did we forget S D? He s th best of bests..a beast of Art..& l v just heard about him through Marylin Monroe, who was her favourite singer..along with Ella Fidgerald...she defended equality by th way, but thst s anothrr strory

Who could do this now?
Letitia Rydjeski Britney😂
ANGIE she does :: lolll
Letitia Rydjeski .. this day and age.. ha! NO one cuz they need to lip sync and need a technical theatrics! I miss this great man so much!
Nobody has the stamina. And audiences don't seem to have the attention span. World needs a reset, destroy all iphones
Perfection. Too bad the full concert was deleted from UA-cam.
😍😋
