    This man is an underrated legend. He clawed and earned his flowers, in spite of everything stacked against him, and he was immensely talented while doing it.

      I agree Sammy was totally amazing. But I don't think he was underrated, he was a legend all over the world Wherever he went he was always booked out.
      EVERYWHERE. He was absolutely adored.❤

      Yes, Elvis did all of those things. I forgot to mention Prince, who did all of those things well, except for impressions. Sammy wasn't the greatest at that.

    The original interviewer was late to the taping of this interview so they used a body double and overdubbed his voice after the interview was done. That's why you notice they only show the body double from behind and never show the interviewers face

      You preoccupied with what people do with their genitals? Reducing a human being to their sexuality is to invalidate them by 99%.
