Sammy Davis jr. "Live in Germany"

[quieterrps]

Please tell me that he does Shaft live somewhere? So many reasons why and how Sammy was great but just consider how he really didn't like this song and you can see him smooth his disdain with Jerry Lewis sarcasm and then gives it such heart all the way after that. One of the best total package entertainers in my mind.

sorry guys but I believe its not a 88 release, because that was in munich with frank and liza. this must be 1976, grand openig from dortmund hohensyburg casino, thats why he is more or less so close to his audience.and i saw him live 88 in munich and sorry to frank, he was the best act this very special evening. god bless them heavenlydays

moonwalk. michael jackson who? and was this before or after motown 25- 1983. If it was before then we have been wrong about michael.  does anyone know the date of this video?

[iehduery]

it was recorded in 1988.

[Ruggbjerk]

Moonwalk is just a term made popular by Michael Jackson the "dance style" and feet shuffeling moving around on stage have been done at least since the 1950's by Jazz and Rn'B performers.

[CR65]

I just bought the DVD of this performance and it is a classic. The entire show is fantastic. Sixty minutes of showmanship and swinging style with Mr.Entertainment himself, Sammy Davis Jr.

[frankenzie]

great footage of one the greats on stage, love it! but whoever yanked the footage of Frank in Germany and Italy should have their foot yanked shoved their ass!

[coc177]

R.I.P. Sammy

[daassoc]

Sammy is just classic.......

[Karebair]

I'm on board with Thumper17. In fact, if I had to rate the number one worst song from that time period it would have to be The Candy Man. It's even worse than Captain and Tenille's Muskrat Love or The Archies Sugar Sugar. The very words to Candy Man put me into a diabetic coma, and I'm not even diabetic. But Sammy was at least smart enough to know that it sucked, I guess the melody was what grabbed people.

[Thumper17]

I never said i didnt like it :P

[minenmagier]

cool this is in my hometown

Dortmund

[millsbrothers]

IT IS ON ORDER!!!

[J5MARLON]

I wanna convert to Judiasm, marry a German, Loose an eye, hang out with louge lizards, and then convert to the church of satan. Just like my Hero.

[alschilling]

The Best of the Best Samy Davis RIP

[alschilling]

SPECIAL SUPER SPECIAL VIDEO

[metzfan31]

No one ever took his place!  RIP Sammy

[ArmCharm]

If they ever did a Sammy Davis jr story I think Flavor Flav would be perfect for the part! Without the Viking hat,gold teeth & the clock necklace.

[utubeissad]

Yeah, I know what he means. Like Sinatra hated "Strangers in the Night"

[MauritiusHolland1]

I prefer the version of 1972 so much differant

[wayn03]

Thanks Krautmaschine. Love the man. Nice to see others who do too.

[avionguy]

He was a fantastic performer, but this is my least favorite of his songs I've heard.

[Thumper17]

He actually thought that song wouldnt sell a single record. He thought it was a stupid song.

[Krautmaschine]

From 1985...

[davidhazard71]

from what year is this?
