Incredible performer and human being. The world needs more people like Mr. Davis.

His phrasing, his musicality....incredible. This is an excerpt from a "Rat Pack" fundraiser show that aired live on my birthday, June 20, 1965. Sammy was a multi-instrumentalist, an incredible dancer, an incredible singer and so much more. He was a child prodigy. He was Sammy....in my estimation, one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and beyond. He is truly a legend.

Sammy is not "one of" but definitely THE Greatest Entertainer of All Time. God surely did a good job of breaking his mold after he was born because nobody has yet come close to matching the many talents of this great artist. Just my 2 cents.

It was released on dvd and I have it. Shows all the rat pack at their very best.

Amazing. Only drums and a voice. He fills the void with the talent of an entire orchestra.

I wish this never gets taken off KZread..

I like all his interpretations

One of my favorite male vocalists in popular music - in his element.

With the Count Basie orchestra no less...

If you want a brilliant singer, an excellent impressionist, an outstanding comedian, a superb actor, an incredible tap-dancer, an accomplished drum-player among many other things, then you call up Mr Sammy Davis Jr. MsG

The drummer plays the EXACT same rhythm that Sammy 'sings' for him. Wow! Talent all around!!

Genius! Just like that!

I remember seeing him do this on T V in the early to mid 60's. If not this performance, it was one just as good. But I know it was this one.

I NEVER tire of watching this!! It does sadden me though to observe the somber faces of the African American musicians in the background. I wonder if they didn't like Sammy, wasn't getting paid well - I don't know....
