It's RARE that I hear a man sing this! & He did it beautifully! Incidentally, I heard a guy sing it @ karaoke & he tore it up! I personally want him to audition for AI singing this song!
This song just so happens to tell the story of Mr. Davis' life and career. Surrounded by a culture seeped in racism, Sammy refused to be refused. And as a result, he made the world love him. I salute the memory and the legacy of the great Mr. Sammy Davis Jr.
When I was younger, i did not appreciate Davis' talent, especially when I see what is passing for entertainment and talent today, and they are getting paid ten times as much money if not more than these old and extraordinarily talented old entertainers. Davis has a range in his singing voice I did not know her had. I know Jerry was tired but he could have been a lot more enthused about Sammy's performance.
I was very disheartened to learn that the telethon will be cut to only 6 hours. Even more disturbing was the fact that the press release on the MDA website had no comment from Jerry Lewis. In fact the press release didn't even mention him at all!
eople dislike this video, this is a dieing man singing something completely out of his genre tells you how versatile he was, people should admire sammy
i dont just think he was the greatest performer of all time i actually think he could possibly of had the best voice out of the rat pack, cause i really dont think dean or frank could isng this, sasmmys voice seemed to just suit EVERYTHING, i am so gutted i never got to see him live
It's nice to hear this song without it being screeched at you! It's interesting to ponder whether Sammy had been working on an album of songs from recent stage musicals when he became ill, what with this, I dreamed a dream, music of the night, memory and more in his repertoire at the time. It would have been a nice last hurrah if he had completed something like that - certainly a more fitting end to a career than his country album.
hilarious -Lewis gives him this nonchalant, "eh, you were okay." I have to admit it was much better than I was expecting. The guy was great, no doubt, but I could not imagine him singing it.
A great man singing a great song. Best version of this song I've ever heard. No other artist sings it better. What year was this? Thanks for posting it.
Effortless perfection and know-how. BRAVO
