@VictorVargas3185 What Sammy really had to do was adapt to all situations he encountered. During his time racism was at its all time high so whatever he did was only to survive. He always knew what he was (a black man) its just some people really didn't understand what he was going through. Because of racism, at times things were really rough for him but he wheathered the storm and in the end came out on top! Also, thanks to people like Frank Sinatra who stood by him and supported Sammy.

@rstdot loool I guess that chocolate milk is too hard to resist

We do have talent out there these days but it is often hard to locate up under all the booty shaking, nasty lyrics, auto-tuned crap that is most prevalent. When they sing I feel like I'm at home in my kitchen listening to the frown-ups talk when I'm supposed to be in bed. They seem so natural and even among the real talent that we do have out there today they are over produced and managed till you can hardly hear their real voice or know who they really are.

he LITERALLY could do it all, which is part of why this is so effortless to him... the songs he did were so vocally challenging and then he had all that grit an expression when he needed it... he sliced through standards like a hot knife through butter and pop like he could do it 10% awake... just the finest entertainer the world has ever known.
