You know you're watching a great musician and entertainer - when not just the audience gives him a standing O, but the band gets on their feet too. Why don't we have phenomenal entertainment like this today? Sammy - come back and dance - please.
...his dedication to Jerry and his fundraising efforts was so completely selfless, but his reaction to the record-breaking change in tote is priceless.
I was recording from WGN that year. They had technical difficulties causing them to come in at the last few seconds of the song. If anyone else has it, I'd like to see it too!
La classe non e acqua. SAMMY tu sei nato con la classe dello SPETTACOLO E DELLA CANZONE . POTEVI CANTARE QUALSIASI CANZONE ED ERAUNSUCCESSO. BRAVISSIMO😅😅😅😇😇💟🎤
Yes he was fired but they didn't cancel after he was fired MDA took in another direction which after a couple years it then went off the air. When Jerry was doing Telethons I was working the local telethon in LA.
I was very disheartened to learn that the telethon will be cut to only 6 hours. Even more disturbing was the fact that the press release on the MDA website had no comment from Jerry Lewis. In fact the press release didn't even mention him at all!
Interesting version? What? this is live. Probability no. or very little rehearsal. The man is a super talent. And look at the joy in the room. Jerry is on the side rocking, and at the end Sammy crying. Come on. And someone please explain again why Jerry was thrown off the telethon? By the way - where is that telethon now? How much money has it raised since Jerry left?
There was no room for Jerry's telethon in a 140 character world. It was reduced to an hour and was soon stopped. I read somewhere what happened to Jerry, but I can't remember.

Love you forever Sammy. No one else like you ever in the history of entertainment. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Greatest Entertainer of the 20th Century! Sing, dance, act, lead a band! He could do it all, and he was the best in every genre.
He could also do impressions and play several instruments.

Well! What can you say? Could it be better ? Thanks for a fantastic clip!
Best of the best
Rest in Peace, Jerry Lewis.
This was fantastic. I think it's a crime that the MDA fired Jerry and cancelled the telethon.
Yes he was fired but they didn't cancel after he was fired MDA took in another direction which after a couple years it then went off the air. When Jerry was doing Telethons I was working the local telethon in LA.
anybody else see the Superman pin on his suit jacket
with Jerry gone so is the last of my youth.
I was very disheartened to learn that the telethon will be cut to only 6 hours. Even more disturbing was the fact that the press release on the MDA website had no comment from Jerry Lewis. In fact the press release didn't even mention him at all!
Show em how it's done Sammy!!!
This is good stuff. I have this on tape as well. LOL. Am wondering if you can post any of the cutaways with Ed McMahon?
true talent and humanity will always shine through - why do we have such crap today?
Someone should try to get the HBO special he did, there has been nothing better.
@phuckizlam Your kidding right, he's adorable.
Your a doll!!!
Sammy did an even better version of "Birth of the Blues" on Telethon 1984 if you can post that one.
Tell us how you really! ;-)
@narutomustgonow Lol ,you tell 'em
