Only MJ would deliver such a beautiful and truthful poem , in song. He was so talented....I know everyone is saying this, but, "There will never be another artist that embodied what he gave, He was original thru and thru. He will forever be King, not just of Pop, he was/is so much bigger that that!

The voice of an angel. When I see some of the Michael Jackson haters on this video I thank God that Michael is not around anymore to hear that shit. He really was too good for this world. Now he is gone and there will NEVER be another like him I promise you that.

Gunter Butler Don't you ever tell me to shut up or sit down. You do not deserve to be on any video pertaining to Michael Jackson. Go take yourself to some other video where you can spread your self-hate and loathing. We don't want you here.

My heart!....I love MJ, no matter what ANYONE says, Never will anyone ever surpass his contribution to music!! EVER!

Sammy died shortly after this so it's fantastic that Michael thanked him in this beautiful way for opening doors for all the great black artists who followed him. Such love!

Genius. He could sing about anything and that is what you call being a King!!

Lyrics of this song...that apply to Michael so perfectly... You were there, before we came. You took the hurt, you took the shame. They built the walls to block your way. You beat them down. You won the day. It wasn't right, it wasn't fair. You taught them all. You made them care. Yes, you were there, and thanks to you There's now a door we all walk through. And we are here, for all to see -- To be the best that we can be. Yes, I am here.... Because you were there. THANKS TO YOU MICHAEL!

Michael, this is your song now... We sing this for you now

Two men I wish were still alive. Sammy's expression for Michael's singing says everything. May God bless your Soul Michael Jackson!

Wow! Sammy! Michael! MJ seemed to fight off tears at the end. Two legendary talents who left us too soon.

Michael's voice is phenomenal in this song. Sammy was one of Michael's Heroes. Michael learned from the very best of Master, Sammy and Michael, TWO EXTRAORDINARY TALENTS OF THE STAGE. BOTH MASTERS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. R.I.P. MR DAVIS. I LOVE YOU MOST MICHAEL.......L.O.V.E

Wow what a performance from Michael and a very apt song for Sammy....I got goosebumps...There is no doubting Michael Jackson was one of the most talented stars of our time... Beautiful.

Michael jackson was THE most talented star of HISTORY

Oh my god! You can't help but to love that beautiful face. Sometime its so painful to see him and know he's gone, but it was a pleasure to know that I was alive to see a great and extraordinary person like Michael J. Jackson. Thank you Lord!

I remember seeing this tribute on TV and thinking, "Leave the world better than you found it." Two inspirational icons who are sorely missed.

I pray that Sammy and Michael are singing and dancing together in Heaven now. We miss and love you both!

Hardly anybody else could sing with so much love like he did! He was a true King of Music , King of Love!

Two minutes of pure talent and heart - you can't teach it - you can't buy it - and there will never be another - may they dance together for all time.....

The two greatest entertainers who have graced our planet !!! We were truly blessed !!! Thank you Sammy Davis Jr and Michael Jackson !!!

Thanks u Sammy & Michael for being there. RIP :)

The look on Sammy's face is priceless. Well done Michael. Your fans miss you!!!

Michael used to go over to Sammy's house early in his career to borrow tapes of Sammy's concerts. He studied them and took what he could. His stance in the spotlight with one hand up and one hip out is SAMMY....Mr. Bojangles. He meant what he says in this song. Sammy opened ALOT of doors and was 'there' first. Before MJ, before James Brown, before Jackie Wilson....there was Sammy Davis, Jr.. My idol for 50 years! God bless them both.

Boy could Michael deliver a song. You could see in Sammy's face how moved he was. RIP Sammy & Michael.

Michael and Sammy are bigger than life. They put their heart and soul into their music. When they cried, I cried too. RIP.

Damn, I just got chills watching him perform this song for Sammy. My eyes started tearing each time he hit a note. MJ will be never ever be replaced!

Sammy Davis adored Michael. He was very touched by the performance

I never tire of watching this. I wish I would have been able to meet Michael more than once.

omg, michael was not even dancing here but his performance is stunning. he's got the voice, he's got the moves, no one can ever fill his shoes.

You do not see LIVE performances like this anymore .. two men with so many abilitlies to make us smile.. I love them both and they have both influenced the way I treat people... along with my father.. I believe we all have been blessed to hear them...I just feel so so much and can say I understand

wow this is got me in tears. Michael sang a true song. Sammy ah Mr. DAVIS paved a road for many of us. In the entertainment and in history period. For a long time people called him names and said he wasn't for the black race, but those were simple minded people who didn't see the MAN. Mr. Davis was black and for his people how he lived his personal life was not for us to ponder, he was a man of many talents who gave us history and memories. R.I.P.

In an era where so many like Sammy Davis had to deal with prejudice, whether in showbiz or not, it's thanks to the many like him who came through it to pave the way for black artists to be accepted. Sad reflection on society that many wouldn't accept them. MJ's tribute is heartwarming, sincere and truly deserved. No one will ever replace MJ

Such a moving performance by Michael to another great man Sammy Davis Jnr. People like Michael don't come along very often... and it is depressing to know we can never hear his voice again in personal tributes like this one. Elizabeth Taylor is gone now too, so hopefully they are flying the heavens together!

That's the gorgeous deep bravado that people don't realize he had. Just simply beautiful!!!!

I feel the same way. His talent was extraordinary. It is one that we will never see again. I cry and become depressed almost everyday because of the death of michael and music. Music will never be the same. It was him who kept us anticipating great music.

i adore michael jackson and i was lucky enough to see sammy live in concert. two of the most phenomenal talents ever. , they both knocked walls down....may they both rest in peace

Sammy paved the way so we can hear and see Michael perform.

I just started Crying because if Michael didn't do what he said in the song then I would not be here Thank you so much Michael

Michael looks so good in red. His songwriting is brillant. What a genius. Michael puts so much emotion in a song. I love this video and can't stop watching it.

King of pop!That can only be Michael Jackson.R.I.P

I remember this back in 1990 this is was one of the best tributes to Sammy Davis Jr. that night R.I.P. King of POP

MJ lived long enough to see the downward spiral the music industry was heading in..when asked to comment on modern music, he always remained humble and never insulted...he always said "Music is music" but deep down, you can tell that he was hiding the truth, and that music truly died. Music Left this world when MJ died, and truly packed its bags for another planet when Whitney Houston died. Sammy, Fred Astaire, James Brown..all of these great people :( RIP LEGENDS.

Michael always there to pay tribute to those who went before. Such a beautiful man inside and out!! I love you Michael

That's the most touching musical tribute ever. Sammy's expression was precious, he looked like a little boy. I hope they're both dancing and singing on the other side.

I remember watching this special when it aired back in 1990. It is one of the best performances I've ever seen on TV. RIP Sammy and MJ.

I almost lost it too. Wow. The two best stage performers EVER. R.I.P. guys. You are missed.

Finally= A Michael Jackson song I like! Good song with good meaning and sung with true emotion.

He Was the King.......and He IS Still the King,for Nobody is ever gonna be like Him!

The whole time i thought he was singing a song by someone else, but i just looked it up, and this man wrote it himself, in direct dedication to Sammy Davis Jr, unheard of before by Sammy (thus the looks on his face). Damn, he is such a slept-on songwriter. Why don't things like this about MJ ever come to light?

I stummbled upon this & cannot stop the tears. Such beautiful talented men. RIP. God Bless.

After seeing this performance I now believe in angels. Michael was an angel walking this earth. I will love you Michael with all my heart 4ever and ever.

O my gosh that was beautifull I wanted to hug Sammy and Michael so much THANKYOU Michael so very much for your being there and every thing you lived for L.O.V.E. Tinkerbell.

Amazing, so much emotion, it gives me goosepimples. The world has lost a legend in Michael Jackson.

Two unstoppable talents. One tribute. Not a dry eye in the house.

Beautiful and he paid his respects to a man who inspired him and yes opened the doors for many others. Perfect MJ, Just perfect. RIP SaM and Michael

his voice is amazing, and its so incredible to see sammy Davis JR. nearly crying, never seen him like that, he was an amazing man, as Michal also was.

Such a heart felt tribute to Sammy Davis Junior, Michael you made me cry, you were brilliant as ever xxx

god he's voice is so magical and pure ....god what a talent ...i love mj RIP

It's almost eerie how even though the words that Michael came up with in this song to describe Mr. Davis, are definitely accurate, they now have a dual meaning for him as well. Sammy & Michael's success was something they fought for with the talent they were blessed with, nobody handed it to them. I mean these two were not called the greatest entertainers ever for no reason.

So touching. Both gone but never forgotten. They must be singing and dancing in Heaven.

Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful person. MJ for ever.

Sammy looked so touched :')

Beautiful absolutely beautiful - Paying Homage to those in the struggle ----absolutely beautiful...#I'm crying too

he is beautiful! i cant belive his voice it is so pure and magical i love you michael

Sammy's eyes say more than a thousand words about this amazing performance

This is utterly beautiful. I love Michael with all my heart.

this is just a wonderful song, how can it be possible to write songs like that?... hes amazing, love u mj, will never forget u!

This touches my heart each time I watch it. Such genuine emotion on both parts. Two best dancers ever.

Damn, I started to cry while watching this video. Both extraordinary talents....GONE. Rest in Peace, Sammy and Michael.

Michael's the best of the rest! He puts so much passion and his soul into music and his performances.

THIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING I Love Sammy Davis Jr.. Micheal you are simply the best better than all the rest..

There is Not enough adjectives to describe this performance! May Peace be Upon the both of them! Jersey City!

wow, it was an awesome song choice to sing for Sammy Davis Jr, Because it's true, Sammy Davis Jr. Did break a lot of racial barriers as well as michal Jackson did. It was a very moving song, a great performance by the worlds best performer.

Wow.....Two of the greatest Performers of all time, both gone, R.I.P MJ&Sammy, may you both live on through the beautiful music you created forever.

me too! I teared up at the thought of both of them being gone. That was a beautiful song and when they hugged it gave me chills!

This was a very moving tribute to one of the greatest legends of our time sung by another great legend. Thank you, Michael, and thank you, Sammy. You'll both be remembered throughout all time.

Ok Michael, Im getting off line now, I cant cry any more today! I MISS YOU SO MUCH! MY ANGEL!

Love this! Rest in peace both of you! Michael and Sammy! Two of the Greatest Performers that ever graced the planet earth!

Beautiful Michael Jackson. An angel who was too good for this world.

I was and probably am a harsh critic of MJ the man ...........but not the performer. I remember when I saw this broadcast I was moved to tears ... still am. MJ you had a very big heart and were a magnificent genius performer. Thanks for posting.

There's always a good side in all of us. I hope we can touch that part in him. Thanks and God bless.

Wonderful! I hear that he wrote this song the night before. Just amazing. From one legend to another!

Wow ! with all the talk of mike's strangeness this performance was soo heart felt and humble it makes me miss him more and it also saddens me that there's no one today that can radiate that level of vulnerability on stage. cause they are all so damned self-centered. his sis and only his sister and a small hand-full of others can really draw u into their hearts and reveal their souls as he could.

One of the best salutes to a Legend ever! 2 Greats awesome & unforgettable !!!

Aaah..now it seems like he's singing this for himself..yes MJ, you were there, you opened the door for others to walk through... I miss him so much...

Simple and beautiful. You were there too, Michael.

I grew up loving them both- yet can still be amazed by footage like this. Just beautiful.

Damn. Damn. That just hurts. So much charisma, so much talent, both of them, now gone. That hug should have caused divine trumpets to sound and angels to appear and applaud.

OMGOSH I love Michael so much! This performance made me cry, it’s so beautiful. I can't even put into words how sweet this is. Everything from the look on Sammy's face 1:01 to the passion in Michael's performance and of course the union between the two greats at the end 2:23. Phenomenal!!

Waaaw I love this one so much!! amazing voice Michael, and so beautiful person! :) U touched my soul so much...just about to cry Mike, LOve you

Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful HEART.

this made me smile like crazy. There's no talent like this, and never will be.

tu es trop beau Michaël. Ceux qui ont eu la possibilité de te rencontrer ont eu beaucoup de chance. Que ton repos soit doux pour l'éternité.

What a Moment; Sammy hugging Michael! What a Moment in Time!!!

Beautiful Michael !. I will love you forever and ever.

That's because he wasn't fake like so many entertainers today. He wasn't all caught up in the little stuff. He was real and his emotions were true.

I'm reading a book by Redd Foxx who gives a history of the minstrel shows that Sammy Davis, Jr. sings about in the song, Mr. Bojangles. Michael's song not only pays tribute to Sammy, who watched, through personal experience, those many, many minstrel performers who are today unheard of and lost in history. Sammy saw them erased from time, believing he would be too. Michael's song says, "No, I'll remember you because I remember the others. If I am remembered, you will be too."

Two class acts with similar childhoods. God Bless them Both.

This is why I like mike because he respected the talents before him. He always gave honor to Sammy, Ray C.,and James Brown through his short life on Earth. Panthere1308. I must say that michael and sammy are equally the best entertainers that ever lived. We all saw the artistry that michael has done, yet sammy did it all: sing,dance,and acted on tv, broadway,movies,and live concerts around the world being called the "n-word" by his enemies and being called "colored" by his friends. nice video.

MY GOD THAT WAS AWESOME...SAMMY DAVIS WAS YET ALIVE..MICHAEL JACKSON DID A LOT OF STUFF,,THINGS TO HONOR PEOPLE,,,SINCE HE HAS GONE TO PARADISE,,,I FOUND OUT HE IS MORE,,THAN A SINGER AND DANCER...HE IS SO RICH IN LOVE AND MERCY,,,THAT IS WHAT STANDS OUT TO ME...THANK YOU SOME MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

There will never Be another...End of Story!!!

These two men made a difference. as did Sidney Portier. What talent .

Great performance. I like how he managed to squeeze that little dance move in at the end.
