Thanks for posting, never seen, Sammy acting in it is amazing. Tom would follow up Sammy Davis in Ceasar's Palace, both watched bij Frank Sinatra..

I think they really loved perform together, because he wasn't just once on the This is Tom Jones show...

@racer111259 Respect accepted. I draw two thoughts here. You are right--as a total song the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band rendition is the definitive version. Few fair minded people would disputed that. Beautiful performance by a group. But as a vocalist, Tom's performance is superior to the band's lead singer's vocal performance, and that is not a knock at all on that other guy. After all, Tom was one of the greatest pure vocalists of his time.

As Jolson was probably the greatest performer of the first half of the 20th Century, Davis, the actor, dancer, comedian, and singer MUST be the greatest performer of the second half of the 20th Century

Sammy agreed to this as this was before he (Sammy) had recorded the song. He had yet to make it his own.
