Sammy Davis Jr. | Drum Solo

Welcome to MUSIC CIRCLE
Samuel George Davis Jr. was born on December 8, 1925, in Harlem, New York City. He was an American singer, dancer, actor, comedian, film producer, and television director. At the age of three, Davis began performing in vaudeville shows with his father Sammy Davis Sr. and the Will Mastin Trio, which toured across the country. He made his debut in films in 1933. After serving in the military, Davis returned to the trio and became an overnight sensation following a nightclub performance at Ciro's (in West Hollywood) after the 1951 Academy Awards. With the trio, he became a recording artist.
In 1954, at the age of 29, Davis lost his left eye in a car accident. Several years later, he converted to Judaism, finding commonalities between the oppression experienced by African-American and Jewish communities. He had a starring role on Broadway in Mr. Wonderful with Chita Rivera in 1956. In 1960, he appeared in the Rat Pack film Ocean's 11. He returned to the stage in 1964 in a musical adaptation of Clifford Odets' Golden Boy, earning a Tony Award nomination for his performance. The show featured the first interracial kiss on Broadway.
In 1966, Davis had his own TV variety show, titled The Sammy Davis Jr. Show. While his career slowed in the late 1960s, his biggest hit, "The Candy Man", reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1972, and he became a star in Las Vegas, earning him the nickname "Mister Show Business". Davis's popularity helped break the race barrier of the segregated entertainment industry. He did, however, have a complex relationship with the black community and drew criticism after publicly supporting President Richard Nixon in 1972.
One day on a golf course with Jack Benny, Davis was asked what his handicap was. "Handicap?" he asked. "Talk about handicap. I'm a one-eyed Negro who's Jewish." This was to become a signature comment, recounted in his autobiography and in many articles. After reuniting with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin in 1987, Davis toured with them and Liza Minnelli internationally, before his death in 1990.
Unfortunately, Davis died in debt to the Internal Revenue Service, and his estate was the subject of legal battles after the death of his wife. Davis was awarded the Spingarn Medal by the NAACP and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award for his television performances. He was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 1987, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
