At his worst he was still the most talented of The Rat Pack ... sad to hear he went through so much but despite it all he really opened minds and doors ... he was just so likable and entertaining, how could anyone dislike the guy!
I had such a crush on Mr. Davis. When he sang Mr. Bojangles and danced, it just pulled at my heart strings. I recognized the same in my daughter who loved Michael Jackson. We live our black men and admire our innate talent.
Sammy could sing just as well as Frank Sinatra? Let me say this "I love frank" however vocally, Frank could never level up to Sammy, period. Frank would sit in the audience when Sammy performed at certain shows. Frank never envied Sammy's vocal magic he respected him for it. He knew Sammy was a better entertainer than all of the others in the Rat Pack and they knew it. Boy oh Boy I miss those days. I love the musical arrangements and lyrics. Sad that Sammy had to go through so much in America. The problem is America never evolved on a human level. Sadly, it is going backward in time once again. Glad that Sammy was able to triumph over those service men who belittled him. WHERE ARE THEY NOW? I HOPE THEY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED. Thank you Frank Sinatra for standing up for justice. I knew you must be a Sagittarian. Only a Sagittarian would go out of his or her way on that level, to stand up for what is right. REST IN LOVE GUYS CANT WAIT TO JOIN YOU GUYS AGAIN. HEAVEN MUST BE ROCKING. THE DEVIL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF
"Sad that Sammy had to go through so much in America." All our Sammy Davise's had to go through a lot in America; being Black in the land of the free continues to not be so easy. But we've come a long way. Hell, we've even had an official Black president. Our forefathers would not have believed our realities of today. "You've come a long way baby' remarked the Virginia slims commercial, INDEED, WE HAVE!
Sammy Davis Jnr, very talented performer. Porgy and Bess was a classic musical, that demonstrated the natural and wonderful talent of the Afican Americans. They are the only ones that could perform such songs, dance movements and acting. Performances that will live on forever.
Not all Black people dismissed Sammy Davis, Jr. In the 1950s and 60s, he was beloved by them. Any time he was on television, it was something valued. His presence was a positive influence on the nation, as he was a "crossover" entertainer, not just a "Black Entertainer." To be successful in Show Business, talent must appeal to all people. Any negative attitudes coming from Black people were based on jealousy and ignorance of his history and the fights he went through to attain his status. This is, and always has been a problem with some Black people who fail to appreciate Black celebrities who fought to overcome racial barriers and pave the way for others following them. He was also a human being and needs to seen in that respect as well, In short, Sammy Davis, Jr. accomplished far more than his critics, and also told his story in his book, YES I CAN. He was a remarkable man.
Now you're just making stuff up. Black people weren't jealous of his success. Right after the CRM, he pivoted to conservative Republicanism. He also endorsed Tricky Dick Richard Nixon. You can Google what Nixon thought of black people back then. And some of his biggest critics were civil rights icons who accomplished more for black people whether they accomplished anything for themselves or not. And a problem with a lot of black people is that they are ahistorical.
I don't believe Tracy was Sammy's biological daughter. I remember back in the 70's "The National Enquirer" did a story of another man claiming to be Tracy's father and Sammy's ex-wife admitted she did have an affair with that man.
Who cares. Did she love him. Did he love her was he there throughout her life. Did he make sure she wanted for nothing. Did he make sure she was safe and secure? He was her Dad and Father ❤
Man 🤦🏾😅 I was just a little girl 💞💁🏾♀️ and he caught my eye on tapping on the floor 🤦🏾🤣 yes he did and my father put me through everything tap dancing 🩰 Sis 💞👍 piano yes everything and I enjoy everything my father done for me just because I want to follow Sammy Davis Jr he is a legacy I will never forget 🙏🌹👏💁🏾♀️☺️ rest brother Amen 💁🏾♀️💞👍😊😊
He has not faded into obscurity. He is still loved and remembered by his fans. He has been my lifelong celebrity crush. As a child of the sixties I discovered him at sge 17 yrs. Been a fan ever since. Tracy definitely was Sammy's daughter. She had the DNA test to prove it at the time when one of his adopted sons thought he could be a biological son. He wasn't but Tracy definitely was.
Who ever made this video needs to do better research.....Joe Jackson was incarcerated for a marriage to a while women in 1912😮😂😂😂😅. Didn't you mean Jack Johnson the great heavy weight boxer....Joe Jackson is the father of Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5....was I the only one that caught that?
Are you people serious or are you just mocking black people ,you show MLK as if it was his farther really ,in every one of your posts you seem to do this are you trying subliminal messaging or what come on DO BETTER.
06:56 "Force to THE reckoned with"? This is an obvious typo, but "read" with such conviciton. By a "robo" voice, I presume? Although it doesn't sound like it.
I intensely DISLIKE being labeled as an African-American! In my family tree on my father's side is Irish and British on my mother's side, all from the British Isles! Besides, there are thousands of white people born and raised and many still living on the African continent! No one can judge a book by just looking at the cover!
16:27 I can understand him being a satanist, but a republican? That's crossing the line. That's a joke of course, being a satanist is not cool with me, but that's my personal opinion.
You guys are very annoying you show Michal Jackson’s dad joe Jackson as the boxer jack Johnson REALLY you guys seem to just be about the money NO JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY come on guys standards are slipping this is 2024 come on…
As much as we would like to claim him. He was born in Harlem, Manhattan, the son of dancer Elvera Davis (née Sanchez) and vaudeville star Sammy Davis Sr.. His father was African-American and his mother was of *Cuban* and African-American ancestry. This is what happens when you don't research you posed to BS
Mr Davis was a Legend
I'm so grateful I got to meet one of my heroes. One of the best entertainers on earth! Loved him.
In the end, Sammy Davis Jr. was a good man, with a great talent.
Rest in peace Sammy. ❤️
I LOVED and ADORED Sammy Davis Jr and his fabulous talent! We were sooo proud of him! I was very sad when he died!
At his worst he was still the most talented of The Rat Pack ... sad to hear he went through so much but despite it all he really opened minds and doors ... he was just so likable and entertaining, how could anyone dislike the guy!
D.E.W. ....
A GREAT ENTERTAINER ..
WITH SO MANY TALENTS
FROM DANCING TO
SINGING TO ACTING.
A GENTLEMAN
TO EVERYONE.👏👏👏.
He was on the best episode of All In The Family ever.
I had such a crush on Mr. Davis. When he sang Mr. Bojangles and danced, it just pulled at my heart strings. I recognized the same in my daughter who loved Michael Jackson. We live our black men and admire our innate talent.
Greatest entertainer of all time
My mother passed on the same day, Sammy Davis Jr. did May 16, 1990 . It makes me smile to know they went through the pearly gates the same day.
My birthday is on that day ❤ RIP Sammy ! 🙏😇
Knowing Sammy if he met your mom at the Pearly gates he would escort her right up to the bandstand. HEAVEN CAN WAIT LETS BREAK A LEG. Lol

RIP SAMMY❤
Joe Jackson , you mean Jack Johnson
They loved them some Jack, and he obliged.
Loved watching him on TV growing up
Very talented and a phenomenal entertainer! RIP Sammy Davis Jr.
When I first saw that pic of him & father, I thought I was looking at MLK jr..
You were.

"Remarkable" brother indeed!

Right!!
Knowing this gossip will.have no effect on my life.
The enquirer..really
So then how did she get that flat nose and those funny looking eyes??
Who cares. Did she love him. Did he love her was he there throughout her life. Did he make sure she wanted for nothing. Did he make sure she was safe and secure? He was her Dad and Father ❤
A credit to his race; the human race!
Man 🤦🏾😅 I was just a little girl 💞💁🏾♀️ and he caught my eye on tapping on the floor 🤦🏾🤣 yes he did and my father put me through everything tap dancing 🩰 Sis 💞👍 piano yes everything and I enjoy everything my father done for me just because I want to follow Sammy Davis Jr he is a legacy I will never forget 🙏🌹👏💁🏾♀️☺️ rest brother Amen 💁🏾♀️💞👍😊😊

Why can’t people let the dead rest?
I don't know, it seems that they are respecting his memory.
Who ever made this video needs to do better research.....Joe Jackson was incarcerated for a marriage to a while women in 1912😮😂😂😂😅. Didn't you mean Jack Johnson the great heavy weight boxer....Joe Jackson is the father of Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5....was I the only one that caught that?
Who would think someone who smoked like a chimney on christmas would die from throat cancer. Cigs are killers
Hey. Timecode 12:39 that is Michael Jackson's dad not the boxer. FYI
Sure was.
Are you people serious or are you just mocking black people ,you show MLK as if it was his farther really ,in every one of your posts you seem to do this are you trying subliminal messaging or what come on DO BETTER.
No, just culture vultures.
Something about him reminds me of Bruno Mars.
06:56 "Force to THE reckoned with"?
This is an obvious typo, but "read" with such conviciton.
By a "robo" voice, I presume? Although it doesn't sound like it.
I love watching him appearing on Charlie's Angels
🙏🏾🤔YES✌🏽
Wow who would have thought! Such a talented man to have been put through so much b-------t.
It was Amerikkka; what people experienced behind the scenes was congruent to those times .
What the…. 12:37
I thoght black cuban
I intensely DISLIKE being labeled as an African-American! In my family tree on my father's side is Irish and British on my mother's side, all from the British Isles! Besides, there are thousands of white people born and raised and many still living on the African continent! No one can judge a book by just looking at the cover!
He had a glass eye? I had no idea haha
This was written by Ai
disclaimer indeed
How many children did he have

16:27 I can understand him being a satanist, but a republican? That's crossing the line.
That's a joke of course, being a satanist is not cool with me, but that's my personal opinion.

Jim Henson also died someday Sammie die

As much as we would like to claim him.
He was born in Harlem, Manhattan, the son of dancer Elvera Davis (née Sanchez) and vaudeville star Sammy Davis Sr.. His father was African-American and his mother was of *Cuban* and African-American ancestry.
This is what happens when you don't research you posed to BS
We dont care he worshipped the devil
Your sick
