  • saw Sammy much later when he had finished his show he got a police escort on to the Don Lane show, where he sang Begin the Beguine, one special night of television, never had heard this version. Won't get into the Sinatra thing that might be going here, except to say his version is up tere too. The second version is closer to the version he did on the Lane show. will always remember it, might find it on youTUBE one day...if you want to listen to a very ordinary try the new Paul mcCARTNEY one..

  • I saw Sammy live in Melbourne in 1969 and never saw the point in seeing any other entertainer from then on. Nobody could match up to that talent.

    

  • Fabulous I have him on my car tape.

  • ROTFL

  • @lebarosky lol a mule...lol

  • This is a Sammy tribute ,shut the hell up about Sinatra

  • Just like to point out at 4:00 the little guy is hung like a circus mule. Also that SDJ is to Prince as the Empire State Building is to a bank building in some small town.

  • @lebarosky Yes, I would feel privileged to know I was going home with Janet Lee too. Great version. Sammy rules. Love the eye patch over the glass eye.

  • mustangred - dont think you quite got my meaning - it was Sinatra that opened doors for his talent to be displayed - days of Civil rights remember - he gave him opportunities because he knew how immense his talent was.

  • @MsBedwell Er, what? He was one of the most popular and highest paid entertainers in the world, with a career stretching literally decades in everything from Broadway to recordings to TV to movies. I'm pretty sure he was recognized as a great talent by a whole lot of people. Nice try at commentary. Too bad it failed.
