and to think that this greatest of cultured men never set one foot into a school room. Wrote six books himself, conversed with presidents and kings, loved all humanity and God bless me, was my godfather and it doesn't get more wonderful than that.

He was so adorable! What a great talent this wonderful human being was. Sammy is my favorite male singer and always will be. Thank you for posting. You made my day! :)

Where are these IDOL performers today? Could act, sing and dance... Even Cagney was a marvelous dancer, and accomplished guitarist. Sigh....

The actress playing young Sammy's mother is the great Ethel Waters. She was at the height of her Broadway fame when she did the soundie featured in this video.

Wow, Sammy had an old face even as a little kid. I love it. I wish there was actual video on her.

sadly he was being exploited, but the true test of this man is that he has triumphed and hs spirit lives on, more than 20 yrs post his passing!

Thanks a lot, I'm glad that you liked the slide show and singer. Oh by the way, the singer is Linda Redd

Fantastic version! Especially love seeing Sammy dancing slow enough to see the steps he did before the newcomers.

I'm glad that you liked Linda Redd's version of this classic song. I intentionally edited the slide show so that Sammy Davis's foot work could be displayed
