"Say it LOUD, and there's music playing. Say it soft, and it's almost like praying." This is mesmerizing - West Side Story in 5 minutes 49 seconds, by the singing actor Sammy Davis, Jr., with Johnny Mendoza on bongos. Over the incendiary driving groove, Sammy fits all the different moods beautifully.
God daaaamn that's freaking awesome!!!
Like a metronome....soo impressive.
I love uncle Johnny. Juan Mendoza born in Managua Nicaragua 1925.
Just seen this clip on a Sondheim doc. BBC. Mendoza wasn't credited that I could see. Tremendous musician.
.................forget it man............Johnny Mendoza ........the best.......
Brilliant.
