  • omg thats is amazing.. he sounds exactly like him.... sammy is awesome.. such a talent!!!!

  • He sounds like him because he;'s miming to his voice! The talent he was showing was mime/lip synching, not impersonations. For his impressions see the other video.

  • There is no end to his talents !! Not only was he one of the greatest singers and dancers that ever lived, he also did voices of other performers... just like this one.. if I wasnt watching the vid, I would swear it was Robert Preston talking.

    Sammy Davis Jr. was and always will be, number ONE !

  • The lyrical rhythms has the sound for rap music.

  • I don't suppose you'll ever do a part three, huh? Especially if you could highlight more of the gun tricks. I remember as a little girl in the 80s I was always trying to spin my cap guns and even water pistols like Sammy. (I'm the youngest of 4 & the only girl so I was a bit of a tomboy.) Sammy was always my favorite member of the Rat Pack.

  • the best

  • He is NOT singing ,he is doing pantomime, as he mentions at the start of the act. Sammy was one of the best, and he wanted to show off his ability to do pantomime, which is the art of mimicking. I would not be surprised if Sammy could actually do Robert Preston, but he is showing respect to the man by using the original soundtrack.

  • oh-oh look at Sammy jerking! lol i love this!

  • Sammy was the best entertainer of all time! Hands down.

  • Beyond a doubt the greatest entertainer this world has ever seen. God bless you Mr. Sammy Davis Jr.Thank you!!! R.I.P.

  • it's ok have a good nite

  • @coporal4 Description says he's lip syncing. I do know that Sammy was an awesome impressionist and wouldn't doubt for a second that he is doing the voice but gattino12 says it's miming and I'm just going by what he says as it's his video :)

  • @comradet0m Hey partner Sammy is not doing lip sync. He is imitating Robert Preston in the first set he was a great impressionist.
