  • I play this on clarinet I love the song!

  • Sammy's voice was better than Sinatrs's...a wondrous range. Seems he was overshadowed by Frank's popularity.

  • I saw the revival of Stop the World twice when it came through Chicago in 1978. And each night, his performance was as electrifying as you see here. A magnificent talent and national treasure.

  • This made me tear up :'( but it was amazing!

  • Oh God,I never see that...I`m crying...He was the Best !!! What a Gift !!!! THANK YOU !!!

  • Sammy was and is the Best that ever was !!!!!! In the Rat Pack he was the BEST ! I remember him Dancing , one time only, on Carson Mr. Bo Jangles ! In his Biography He said that is My Story and I'll never do this again ! What a Man What a Talent What a Gift to us that loved him !!!

  • Never trust a woman my friends.

  • This is such a captivating performance. One of Sammy's best.

  • c'est magnifique!

  • Yes, people like Sammy should live forever so the generations to come can marvel at his limitless talent.

  • Does the entire video of this 1979 revival exist? Where or how did this come to you?

  • joe, thanks for posting! im the little kid at the end of the song. ive been looking for this on and off for years and randomly watched the whole song and almost fell out of the chair! if you know where i could get a copy of the movie that would be great. best, charles!

  • It wouldnt accept my post.. >>>??

  • Sammy! there'll never be another you.

  • Awesome!

  • sammy's the best ever :D

  • u should see regine velasquez's version :]

  • No other singer will ever better this song. Sammy was king!

  • slightly amazing!

  • I agree better morals Nice Talent in those days I guess thats why People Love susan Boyle

  • goosebumps indeed!!!!

  • way beyond words. too amazing SDJ. He is the father of MJ in entertainment.

  • Micheal Jackson is the 2nd greatest entertainer , sammy is the 1st

  • On performers today: no doubt sammy is great! But there are performers today who are of equal quality, you just need to look in the right places.

    Society today has changed today from sammy's time and values different types of performance.

  • @luciusvanderbilt Like who?

  • Everyone above said it all.

    How bout we give Sammy a free pass for an unlimited life and bring him back. He earned it with the beauty, love, talent and joy he gave all of us.

    I have the passes. Bring them back (Judy,Dean, Frank, Ella, and on and on) and I will give them all the passes.

    Shoot don`t we all miss them terribly. At least we have their recordings.

    Hats off to YOU TUBE

  • goosebumps! michael and sammy were the men. yeahhhh......

  • He was the man...A hell of a lot of soul...Look in his eyes when he sings, he really feels this song.

  • 5 stars to Mister Davis, a Highest Star Himself

  • Sammy was the greatest entertainer to grace our lives.....He could sing, dance, act, and do it all....You will never see another with this passion for greatest

  • Sammy was great! this song is fantastic, the music, the lyrics...one of my favorites. thank you for sharing with us.

  • John ..you said a mouthful!!! "He had more talent in his little finger than the whole of today's plastic performers! " 100% agree!!

  • Where have all the great entertainers gone? :-(

    Everybody wants to be a star today without talent or putting in the hard work required.

    God bless Sammy David Jnr, a real star. He had more talent in his little finger than the whole of today's plastic performers!

  • The GREATEST ENTERTAINER EVER LAS VEGAS

  • Hollywood in now The Brat Capitol of the World. The Great Stars are gone forever. All we have now are Brats, who could not sing or dance, if their life depended on it.

  • i saw this stage production with sammy davis jr. in nyc---obviously nothing on b-way now to match this

  • Sammy was a marvel,,wonderful voice,,sense of humor,,could stir all emotions with his voice,,and did,,,

  • What a stunning interpretation of a truly great song. Sammy Davis Jr could have sung his laundry list and been brilliant. However, Mr. Newley never came at 'Fool' twice from the same angle, and that is what makes him the master.

  • It is truly amazing how a great artist can twist phrases or melodies of even their own signature songs, and create a new remarkable version... SDJ is an American treasure.

  • This is a wonderful rendition of a song written by Anthony Newley

  • This song is amazing! ima learn this!! lol

  • I LOVE SDJ!!!!

  • do you still have 'mountain'?

  • 3:23 is awe-inspiring. To be in Vegas with this guy performing (along with Dino and Frank) is one of the first destinations I'd hit if I had a time-machine.

  • WOW!

  • One of a kind.

  • WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

  • Im singing this song for an audition i have coming up I hope I can perform as well as him!

  • Legend... truly majestic

  • you show me anyone who can sing this the same ... and i, will pay 100 .notes.......

  • Thank you so kindly! This made my day. Now it's making my playlist and my favorites. I miss this man so much.

  • thats why he was the man!! sammy lives and breathes this song, tony newley loved sammy,s versions so much... legend..we will never see his kind again.....
