Sammy Davis sings Baretta's theme

[@richardkatz9928]

two weeks before he passed away, and with virtually no strength left, he visited a Children Variety's fair in LA to lightened hundred of children's faces singing, "Candy Man." What a wonderful giving soul. So glad I was there to video this wonderful demonstration of kindness.

[@PatrickRyan150]

I met Sammy at a grocery store where I worked. He came there to promote his BBQ sauce. He was very nice to us all. It was a thrill I'll never forget!

[@Ron71997]

"May I drink to your health , may I say God bless us all... may we all live as one.... may we have peace, happiness, love and togetherness with each other on this planet Earth" This one toast summarizes everything that we all want in life on this Earth. God rest your soul Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. you were one of the best.

[@jamesbova3134]

RIGHT ON, RON A! I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU.AND YES, SAMMY DAVIS JR. WAS ONE OF THE BEST! I AM ALSO A HUGE FAN OF "THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL"ELVIS AARON PRESLEY! IF IT WASN'T FOR ELVIS PRESLEY AND MY MOTHER I WOULD NOT KNOW WHO SAMMY DAVIS JR. WAS.I CAN IMPERSONATE BOTH MEN.I AM AN ACTOR IN THE MAKING AND I CAN SING AND ENTERTAIN.THANKS FOR BEING A SAMMY DAVIS JR. FAN.

[@jamesbova3134]

P.S.ELVIS WAS ALSO FRIENDS WITH SAMMY DAVIS JR.. THAT WANNABE MANAGER OF ELVIS', THE PHONY PIECE OF CRAP, AND THEIF COLONEL TOM PARKER WAS PREJUDICED AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE! HE DISLIKED SAMMY DAVIS JR. SAMMY TALKED ABOUT IN HIS 1989 BOOK "WHY ME?"ELVIS WANTED TO HAVE SAMMY BE IN HIS MOVIES.

[@Ron71997]

@@jamesbova3134 That's interesting James, my Mom was a huge fan of Elvis too. btw Elvis was also a big civil rights advocate. I will say that I believe Elvis, Sammy, Frank and Dean were some of the best entertainers that ever graced the stage.

[@Poohdaddymagic]

The epitome of class. This man had more talent in his pinky than all of Hollywood today...

[@nate9975]

Mr Sammy Davis Jr is a true national treasure. There will never be another like him. Pure talent!

[@scottmanduzy]

Even Elvis was aware of Sammy's special talents. He once called Sammy the finest entertainer around. For his size and stature he could belt out the tunes with the best of them. Sing, dance, act, perform, and was the fastest quick draw pistol packer in Hollywood. Oh, and all with one eye by the by!

[@TheTayedrums]

elvis wished he could be in the same room as sammy...

[@hallson2917]

R.I.P Robert BARETTA Blake..and Sammy Davies JR

[@lordcron]

Started out in life as a 5 year old in vaudeville. Performed through Racism and Jim Crow Laws. All that America could throw at him and he kept going. This man was way past a class act. He did what all the white acts was doing with twice the talent half the respect and done it with a smile. Do you know what kind of spirit you needed to have in those days?! Unshakable! Rock Solid! This man was truly great! Miss you Mr. Davis!

[@lindajones4350]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[@20alphabet]

Yet he was never bitter and most of his close friends were white. He was bigger than any such petty issues... the key to greatness!

There was never ever anyone like him and never will be again. He has been my fantasy my whole life.. it will go to the grave with me. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is from the time not that long ago, where people actually had to have real talent to perform at this level.

[@Freakeasy_chicago]

Sammy is wasted here, he's not even in time w the band. this is a disgrace

[@20alphabet]

And he STILL blows away anything on the charts today!

[@juancarlosperezsandoval5706]

THIS IS A DISGRACE ???, MY GOD YOU ARE A REAL JERK.

[@HamCubes]

Matt Fusello Are you not entertained? I know I am.
Sammy doesn't have the luxury of an IEM and so can't hear himself. I suspect that because it's being broadcast live on tv, he doesn't even have a stage monitor to hear himself and the band.
Sammy is a goddamned legend!

[@markwinberry8095]

Matt fusello I cannot even fathom why would you say such? This man is far from wasted. You need to learn about him before saying anything of the sort.

[@openmind1966]

He was just one of kind......dance, comedy, and sing......
I haven't seen anyone do it all..

A great humble human being, just such an awesome entertainer, that you he loved his audience and they gave that love back! Never another one like that! Sammy Davis, Jr!

[@kimalonzo4912]

Sammy Davis Jr was a major talent, He could sing, dance, act and run rings around his contemporaries. Unfortunately when he died, he was in debt even though he worked 52 weeks in a year. His business manager stole most of his money. His wife,Altovese had to work tirelessly after his death to pay off his debts. Now that' s love!! And he deserved it, too!!!

[@irina.bulgakova]

[@markwinberry8095]

Kim Alonzo people got to stop believing crap like this. A lot of musicians insist on being paid in cash which makes it easier to hide from the thieving tax man. A lot of stars cry broke just to keep up the charades. Sammy probably had a million dollars in pinky rings alone, let alone all the other fingers. Don't even ask about necklaces. Chuck Berry was notorious for demanding cash wherever he played. He would roll in, play the gig, collect his cash and roll right on out to the next city.

[@luisoswaldoramirezzevallos3049]

[@Autostade67]

Okay, so he never had the sly easy swing of Dino and Frank that seemed to appeal to so many, but as pointed out below, his personal and professional story is so much more intriguing. 2oth century civil rights in miniature (literally!). Unconventional in looks, size and faith (his conversion to Judaism) and full to the brim with that other, more profound, kind of swing: SOUL!
