I had the great pleasure of seeing Sammy at about this time - singing, dancing, brilliant impressions (particularly of film stars of the time like Bogart, Jimmy Stewart etc), comedy - he even did the most amazing tricks with guns. In every respect he was the complete entertainer and it was one of the treats of my life. We will never see his like again..
This is back when Democrats allowed african americans to perform for them but not stay in the same hotels or dine in the same restuarants. They still do don't they? A black staying in an expensive hotel is assumed to be a gangsta rapper. Meanwhile the Repubican party that was formed to stop shit like is portrayed as the racists. How many blacks did Clinton have in his administration again? Oh that's right, zero. How many Democrats voted for the civil rights act. Oh that's right, zero.
@JamesTKirkCobain You are desperately misinformed. T.V.literally brainwashes you. It's not Rep. good Dem. bad. They both are purposefully selling off everything in the United States for their personal profit. Romney got rich taking over American buisnesses and throwing people out of work n selling off the assets. Chinese banks were his partners. It goes on and on. The truth is not on T.V. I'm sure you don't know what started the financial collapse. By the way the civil rights era was Kenedy. dem
Any chance you have the whole show on video? My mum was the openning act and we only have a snippet.... Would love to get the whole show but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere.
ive sung Bojangles on that stage. thank you Sam

Here ! Here ! Sammy's the best - of all the rat pack he had the most passion for his audience and gave his all.

There will never be another Sammy Davis Junior. He was the consumate professional, Frank Sinatra came in second place.

The prop handed to Bruce at the end of the clip indicates who was the next act on the show....Liberace.

Boy, I miss him. What a lavishly talented person. Those impersonations were spot-on, and his own singing and dancing were superb.
