Many, many years ago I had the privilege to assist to a Sammy Davis solo performance in a Broadway theatre. All I can say at my 86 years is that I consider Sammy's the best ever solo musical show that I was privileged to enjoy. With this starting he made master works of each song he sang. May he rest in peace because he was a humble man that made millions of followers.
Agree with you ! One of the best entertainers ever! He could do it all! I saw him live once together with Liza M. and Frank S! Mr. Bojangles = goosebumps! All the best!
Sammy Davis is one of my absolute favorites. And right now, I'm feeling such a need to send this to everyone I know so they can know what they're missing out on (and perhaps become attached :-)). Great rendition of a great song, by a most excellent man.
The man was phenominal! This tribute to him is wonderful!! I hope it will leak throughtout youtube so that others will see and hear a true legend! Thanx!!!
Sammy Davis was the greatest performer I have seen and he could do it all. He and his good friend Frank Sinatra would like me very much because Im another Black man that can do Sinatra like Sinatra. No Brag just facts Im Reginald Blackwell The Black Sinatra in America.
Sammy was 3 years when his mother gave him to his father. She keep her daughter but abandon Sammy... he didn't see his mother again until he was around 12 years of age. A lot of people don't know this, but he never went to school, because of performing on road with his father. When he went into the military is when they discovered he could not read and they helped him from that point on...
As a little boy I actually got to see that Stutz car in the Beverly Hills dealership before Sammy picked it up:) The floors and trunk were all lined with mink fur. It cost $70,000! A new Rolls Royce was only $23,000. A V-12 Ferrari was $15,000:)
David walsh,think of this version as a buddy rich arrangement.sammy and buddy recorded a live album,where sammy does an uptempo what kind of fool am i.believe me,if sammy wanted to sing my way as a ballad,it would have exceptional.on you tube sammy does a medley of sinatra songs during his concert.sammy ended by singing my way as a ballad.

I`m a huge rock n matal fan, but Sammy was a speizial.
One of the best voices ever and stage performer.
He took a melancholy song and really made it his own! Damn, he could sing!
RIP Sammy Davis Jr.
I like Mr. Sinatra's version, but now that I hear Sammy's, it's so wonderful, different, very on his way!

Sammy was one of the most amazing cats to ever grace the stage, studio or screen. WHAT A TALENT!
What a voice this man had. Truly wonderful.

THAT MEANS A LOT COMING FROM YOU
33 people have accidentally pushed the dislike button !!

Léo Jaime.
We even dug him AFTER he HUGGED NIXON ! lol
Man I really wish that Sammy had just been a bit younger. He would have made an incredible Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar
was righting by Paul Ankka but he dit`t sing it first because he was too young
La hizo famosa Sinatra, pero a mi me gusta más Sammi
No disrespect to Frank Sinatra, but this version is prefered, much more happenin'.
I love Sammy but I really don't rate this version at all.

The Great SDjr, but a lousy arrangement.
