Sammy Davis, Jr.

"John Shaft" should easily be one of his top tracks. Such an amazing rendition of "Shaft", read up more on the track and you'll find out why it's so impressive!

идиотская песня из вилли вонки превратила этого реально большого артиста в некрасивую подружку синатры, которую по другим поводам и не вспоминают, а очень жаль — это был большой певец, очень многоплановый (отличный пародист и имитатор, кстати, тоже), и прекрасно исполнявший хоть арии из «порги и бесс», хоть вкрадчиво-сексуальные номера (эти получались особенно хорошо), хоть заводно-танцевальные.

Now in my library forever

He did some commercials in 1977 for Melbourne, Australia music store Brash's, unfortunately only one of them is on YouTube and it's in stretch-o-vision. I hate stretch-o-vision. The commercials do still exist, they are held by the National Film and Sound Archive and have been digitised, I wish they'd make them available (outtakes also exist and have also been digitised).

HOW is the top picture not the one of him clicking his heels midair?

Sammy would have been 90 today.

Just listening to the Lp "In Person '77", WHAT a live album...

He was a cool cat. My mom saw him live once.

i would like to know if anybody out there has a spare copy of sammy davis jnrs 1960s ep-extended player where he sings and imitates many other artist ,i think it was called sonny boy as sung by al jolson noony75

It's too bad Sammy Davis was never even close to as popular as Louis Armstrong yet felt the need to make very insulting comments towards him. Sammy Davis outlasting the Beatles? It's too late for that - the whole world loves the Beatles, Sammy Davis is remembered for hugging Nixon.

I am a wedding curator I work in "the square" (Indy, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago) and I make serious cash. The first thing I did was get rid of wedding bands who sound like Bon Jovi but they're playing 50s pop songs. I found serious musicians who can do Sammy Davis Jr. numbers and the people love it. People say Sammy Davis Jr. will last a lot longer than the Beatles.

The Jefferson's Theme "Movin' On Up" is on Best Of Sammy Davis, Jr. & The Mike Curb Congregation. Not his best stuff, unfortunately.

I have a Sammy Davis Jr You tube channel with tons of his music spanning his career for anyone who would like to enjoy his music: http://www.youtube.com/user/1PamGordon?feature=mhee

I was trolling youtube and ran across this gem. Alternate version of the Jefferson's theme song. Was it ever officially released? I would love to have it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKYH4HYZCtg&feature=related

YAY Sammy! (better late than never huh :P)

One hell of an entertainer[2]

One hell of an entertainer.

He once heard someone complaining about discrimination, and he said, "You got it easy. I'm a short, ugly, one-eyed, black Jew. What do you think it's like for me?" the man was hilarious

One of the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.

i wonder what sammy song came in at No.20 on Oz Hitztory Blogs Top20 Of Pre-Rock'n'Roll Pop http://theozhiztoryblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/top-20-of-pre-rocknroll-pop-no-20-16.html
