I'm 70 years old and I weep for the days when we were all so much happier. Today everything is upside down and there's nothing to be proud of anymore.
Don't despair Bill. As we age our memories play tricks on us and make us think our youth was golden. Yes the world seems broken, but there are good people out there and good will prevail.
na he is right all down the hill..... @@paulreilly3904
Bills right am just 30 and long for these days
❤❤❤
I agree, Bill. Our culture has gone down the toilet as America has turned her back on God.
I miss seeing performers do their thing so purely. Sammy. Mic. Band. No glam, no schlock, just pure talent shining.
I couldn’t agree more the only props he has was a cigarette a cocktail and a microphone. I truly miss those performers.
Bingo !!! Stone Talent ! Rap Crap could NOT hold a candle to This kind of REAL TALENT. The, band is killer, good Gosh-A-Mighty what educated Talent !!
His performance gave me chills. He was am amazing talent.
@@dbii6349yeah and the cigarettes killed him.
How about the drummer in that band. I don’t know who he is but his playing is amazing, unbelievable.
If anyone knows his name please respond
@@murraycharters6102 I think it's Ed Shaughnessy based on his sideburns. He was a VERY good drummer!
Sammy Davis Jr. was one of the most talented people to ever walk the face of the planet. There was nothing he couldn’t do.
The 1970's ... those were the best days for American television. 📺 ❤
And it was free!
Для СССР тоже.
Not only television but it was the last great time America will ever see!!! I'd never have imagined that I was growing up at such an incredible time and in such an amazing place. South Brooklyn was like Mayberry back then and I didn't even realize at the time all the history I was right in the middle of, I lived right in the middle of Mafia Town with notorious people all around me and I've seen quite a few things growing up, ahhhh it was all such a blast looking back, God I miss it all so much even with all the bad, nothing is worse than what's happening today😢
@@JoeBilello1969 Except for the clothes. 🤣 They were terrible in the 1970's. Look at Sammy's clothes. They don't even match. 😁
@@jillkjv3816 Yeah, you're not kidding!!!! Especially for me, I was the youngest of three boys and got a lot of hand-me-downs😆😁
Does anyone else misses Johnny Carson?
Because I sure do.
Yes I miss Johnny Carson and all the entertainers of that era. Again there will never again be times like this ever !!
I miss Johnny Carson and all of the stars of that era also. What memories! They will never be replaced. Good clean fun. Thank you for posting this gem!
Terrible nighttime shows now, I haven’t watched for years.
One of his many qualities was he could adapt differently to each guest and change his approach if it wasn’t going well. Real smart guy.
Here in Ireland we never received this show and it's only through the power of UA-cam I've discovered johnny Carson. What a joy to watch these nuggets. I can see how he was adored and greatly missed by the American people.
Sammy Davis jr. Was like a five tool player in baseball. He could do it all. What a legend. RIP candy man you are sorely missed.
Totalclassact.
Watching Sammy sing like that bring s back so many memories. This show was the only place to see talent like this. We need shows like this today.
If only there was talent to put on today!
@@bill-88many talented people out there, they just don’t get a spot light
One of a kind. One and Only.❤❤❤❤❤
@@bill-88 there exists talent but technology and competition dilutes and dulls it
This type of tv will never be seen again. Loved Johnny and Sammy.
What a wonderful rendition of 'In the still of the night'- Sammy's voice was one of a kind!
I miss this kind of television so much!!! Those were the days when performers really made their mark in their career. Simple but ever so entertaining😊👍❤
Yep and they weren’t arrogant. They were so talented. Put praised everyone around them. I miss them to.
Simple?
@@agomodernmaybe they mean it like "pure" - real musicians, real singers, no autotuning and crazy lights and digital backgrounds and flamepots and whatever. Just simple, authentic, refined human talent.
Sammy could really sing. Great enunciation, which I miss from today’s singers. And personality galore.
That was one HELL of a performance!
Sammy’s sheer intelligence was almost always overlooked.
He definitely was the complete entertainer he could sing he could dance he could act, A true legend
7:04
Difficult song to sing, but as expected, he did a masterful job. RIP.
Who misses classy TV line ups? The clothes, the swag, the clean dialogues, the intelligence. SO much of the advent of REAL talent in “Hollywood” came through Johnny and the brilliance of the his producers. Lost. On. America. Today.
Oh yes. Bittersweet memories.
Love Sammy so much. Always and FOREVER.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes it's sad for the rest of the world too.
What a performer, no one like him anymore.
I love this! I was born in the 80s but feel like I should've been around in the 50s-70s. Everyone was so classy back then.
Yes we were!
U would suffer from the backwardness too a lot
Absolutely the most talented, well-rounded, extra-ordinary performer of his generation!!!!!!
So true
Not sure about that. Who were his contemporaries? I think Sean Connery was more talented, as was Chuck Connors.
I didn’t know Connery sang and danced.
How can you not love Sammy Davis Jr.
He was great
We will never see the like of Sammy Davis Jr. again. The man was beyond tops.
We'll never see entertainment like this again. Wow!
Class act , there was and is nobody like him , and never will be, he was the best all round entertainer ever !
Him and the rat pack
Ever! Hands down.
Sammy was great! This performance is pure fantastic jazz. His rendition of "Birth Of The Blues" is the best ever!
Love Sammy. Real class and beautiful human being. We have lost so many great ones. Sadly the era of class and true talent is gone forever.
Yes it is.
Damn, imagine missing that episode back then! No UA-cam to view it the next day. I would have been pissed if I missed this episode 🤣
Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. The Consummate Performer 👏🏾
Class act as always. Sammy thought of himself as just another guy, but was on top of the charts.
The Greatest Entertainer of The 20th Century !!!....Bar None !!!....
He could dance , sing, act everything!
He was so humble on top of his talent like no other .. I got live during these days so lucky!
An incomparable talent backed by an amazing band and spectacular arrangement to whom he pays due respect! ❤
Those of us from that era, IMO, took the talent we were surrounded with SO much for granted. At least I know I did. Imagine a ho-hum response to a Sammy Davis, A Sinatra, a Dean Martin, etc appearing on stage, on the Tonight Show, etc. We were so very, very blessed.
The man can sang!!!
The experience you're left with after watching the Tonight show was so genuine, like you got to know these people just a bit. No other show has ever made me feel that way
So nice watching a talk show where the audience doesn't hoot and whoop every five seconds.
I have no words to say how much I needed that today. Sammy is magical, magnificiently talented, and a complete charm of charisma. Might as well have Carson cone to his mini-concert. Sammy continues to live on in these incredible recordings and videos. One of, if not the greatest Rat Pack in entertainment!
Sammy killing it here
Wow! Sammy Davis Jr! Love his performance!
Sammy was an amazing talent,but unlike the performers today he was not full of himself.
What a guy Sammy was!! Just a genius..I feel sad I was too young to see him perform
Humble days,we will never see the like again❤
Sammy had class and what A. PERFORMER .
Sammy Davis needs a biopic. Probably most talented of the Rat Pack, an epic career in a difficult time.
Agreed, he was the most talented, and versatile. That's saying a lot when he's being compared to Frank and Dean.
Hart will never do it
Dean was pretty talented
sammy was the coolest dude bar none of his time, and it was natural no fluff and facade. one of the saddest things i've ever heard about him was that even after he made it his biggest fear was of dying broke.
SAMMY DAVIS JR what a multi-talented legend
The Incomparable, total entertainment, infinite perfection…. That was our Sir Sammy Davis Jr- American Royalty!!!!!!! 😊😊
I never heard anyone do Garfield, he was perfect.
In Mean Streets, Harvey Keitel's character does him for a few seconds.
Sammy! One of my favorites back then. I liked him better that Sinatra!
I remember him saying this about the cat in Cleveland. I was 13 and it stayed with me.
Simply a legend.
This shows that you can be a little guy and be successful and loved.
Sam was just an enormously talented human being. So great to watch!
I like seeing the hair and the clothes. Lived through those times myself and know pretty much exactly when it was. Part of the fun.
Love Sammy so much. FOREVER. Till the day I die. ❤❤❤❤
At 9:56, as part of the cast of Poor Devil, Sammy mentions Adam West, glad he did, his role was one of the highlights of that funny made-for-TV movie.
I was also glad to hear him mention Christopher Lee. I remember Lee having an awful hair style in the movie. I guess that is what happens when you play the devil.
@@davidsheridan3513 Yes, he had a weird hairstyle !!! 😁
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the greatest performers who ever lived. We're still watching in 2024.
One of the best entertainers
Unfortunately we no longer have talent like those form the era of Johnny Carson. RIP to all the entertainers of days gone by.
I still bust a gut every time I see the episode of All in the family when Sammy Davis Jr was on it and the look of Archey’d face when Sammy planted a kiss on his cheek. What a classic.
Simply marvelous. A prime example of what "slaying it" really means. Spectacular performance and then casually walks back to take a seat. Incredible.
This was the America I grew up loving. How naive I was.
Sammy was absolutely the fourth unofficial member of the Rat Pack! Keep that Swing goin in Heaven Sammy 🙏
Unofficial?? Sammy was just as much a part of that group as Dean or Jerry. The chairman himself moved Sammy into Vegas when all of the other blacks were forced to live on the outskirts. They all treated each other like brothers. Unofficial my eye! (See what I did there?)
@@timm1139 Jerry Lewis was never in the rat pack. Sinatra, Martin and Bishop.
Also Peter Lawford, for awhile @@markbirchette8740
@@timm1139 Well said with an eye for detail.
Sammy, Frank, and Dean were the main members with Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop.
300 channels on tv today, and nothing close to this to watch. I'm glad I was young, when I was young !
Will never forget the legendary Sammy Davis Junior
When entertainers had real talent!
Sammy was just beautiful guy 😢😢😢😢
There's nothing he couldn't do. Probably the most talented star of the top 3 of the Rat Pack.
Around 6:45 was such a good answer to Johnny’s question about when he knew he’d made it. What an insightful guy.
What a showman.🥰
What can anyone not say what a Great Entertainer Sammy was! Then you hsve Johnny Carson! This was a time when Entertainers were so Outstanding! We will never see their like again! Davis Jr. could do it all !!
Both could never be replaced.
Great live performance with a great live band by Sammy!!
As I watch this I think about those times and get that feeling. If you know what I mean, you know.
omg i love this guy such a great performer all around.
I am watching Sammy sing and its just magical. Only Sammy takes me to that place. Look at how he dances with the lyrics and hug his style of pronouncing his words. Damn! how i miss those songs and musicians. Now i listen and cry, because i miss the love of my lfe and i miss the music. Thanks for posting.
OMG!! I forgot how amazing Sammy was, utterly astounding, especially accompanied by this elite Tonite show band. I appreciate this so much more in this day and age, where we get such garbage thug music from rappers.
Sure wish people today would see Sammy as a role model. The entertainment world would be a much better place.
What a great legend. Only starting to appreciate him now as an adult and not something I could have done as a child in the 70s
Such a voice. Fun listening to him.
Love Sammy a legend truly one of the greats.
Better than anything on 2023 tv
The tv being off is better than anything on it. Lol
Unbelievable! It's like people forgot how to have conversation nowadays! The first few seconds in and I'm already captivated!
Sammy did such a good job introducing the clip I wanted to see it, even if I would never be able to find the show now.
In today's entertainment environment it's easy to forget just how much pure talent Sammy and many of his contemporaries had. There are very few today that come close. Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey (too bad for him), and Eddie Murphy all act, sing, dance, and speak in an intelligent manner about any topic. It's a dying art form to be so well rounded.
Sammy. A sweet man. Look forward to meeting him🙏🏻
I can’t help but believe what Sammy was saying was true about being accepted. He fought a very strong headwind for most of his career and hats off to whatever help Frank Sinatra provided which many believe and with good reason was real.
Great show! Loved it since I was young back in the 1960s. I wish they hadn’t cut out the plugs and old commercials. I’d love to see those! Back in the day, the commercials wouldn’t have been interesting to me, except for a few. They are now, because of the nostalgia.
Super class guy and the most amazing entertainer of all time (with Cagney and Kelly), the “triple threat” few few can attain. My fav of the Rat Pack and that says a lot.
The Sam Man is the shiznit! Raised up in my parents OG Piano Bar since I was born. All through the 60's the Rat Pack and others is what I was exposed to. And I never realized how really great the music and talent was. There's no business like Show business!
Had only heard him do Candy Man, and Bojangles, that he was a Rat Packer…. I really like him singing!!!! Will have to listen to him more!!!!
Good job, Sammy, Jr.! You are and always will be one for the books.
The greatest can never be duplicated only replicated.
What a great treat to start the long weekend. Thank you!
I have always loved the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. ❤ (A member of the Rat Pack).
Sammy was the absolute 💯 best of this country's TALENT! AND A TRUE SHINNING STAR! I want to know where are his children? None of them came out with his talent???
Johnny Carson was one of the few stars who didn't dye his hair, and it looked great.
WOW! U'd forgotten what a great singer he was!
How nostalgic! This was great...
Man... That Band!, and the arrangements CRUSHED IT!
Pound for pound the greatest entertainer. He could do it all, very well. RIP
Love Sammy singing.
Thanks so much for every one of these peeks into the past!
