I played in the band that followed this performance on the telethon. I met them both and got their autographs backstage at Caesars Palace. They were both very gracious and kind to this young musician. RIP

Ain't that the truth😊
We've gone backwards if Kanye West is a musical icon...just my opinion
That was pretty good! They were on a tight rope there, Sammy holding on for dear life in the presence of The Divine One. He held it together, hit his harmony note impressively and showed proper respect for the greatest female jazz vocalist of all time.

Mary Anne walker,this also applies to Sammy Davis Jr.
If I know anything about the two of them, this was minimally rehearsed, if at all. It was just two wonderful wonderful singers following each other in full command of their art. We don't see this kind of performance anymore, let alone these kind of voices. We can only imagine. Just fantasize about Sarah singing Pink's "Glitter in the Air".

This is what you call a moment.
Two stupendous singers and stylists. Sarah is unbelievable, but Sammy can't help mugging. :)
Divina divina per sempre 💋♥️💋
The look of total admiration on Sammy Davis Jr.'s face, for Sarah Vaughan, says it all. He even gave profs to Billy Eckstine.

I wish Ella and Sarah could’ve sang something intimately onstage like this. I’ve seen a few performances where they share a stage but we never got to saw the both of them working with each other like this.

On a couple of occasions they did sing together. Didn't come out too well because Ella was so competitive with Sarah. Singing over her. Ella sang fast Sarah slow. Men can be more generous with women than women are
Truly great entertainer
So good!
this was a time when real talent existed not like like these trash wannabes today who steal songs and call it sampling
How lovely!
It was obvious Sammmy was in awe of her. I saw Sarah Vaughan perform for the first and only about this time, in the early 1980s, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Dave Brubeck opened for her. I noticed that she was missing a tooth, but in all TV appearances before and after, she wasn't, so maybe she was between dental visits.

What a stupid thing to mention that she was missing a tooth...go sit in the corner with a dunce cap "jazz aficionado "
How would any 'Playah like Sammy' be born with such a chiselled Visage, let alone Ears, Steps, Rhythm, etc? No accounting for Talent? But he certainly Never Lost with that Sarah Style. Not too Bad!
Sarah, Sammy, duo lindo, inolvidables, gracias
Maravilhoso, brazil.
Wonderful and brilliant
The Rat Pack Is Dead but I want to give my respect at the age of 60 and I'm a black woman from the south side Chicago if it wasn't for the Rat Pack Sammy Davis jr. Will have never became the first black man on stage God bless all the gangsters they did not let them kill Sammy Davis Jr one eye asked
Omg "Sammy Davis @ 2:00 states thats Billy Eckstine stuff - i dont know it!
