I met him after a performance of Golden Boy on Broadway in the 60s. My sister was an usher in the theatre and there was a party after a performance to which theatre staff were invited. We were just teenagers and stood in the wings revelling in just seeing him up close. He called us over and asked about us and gave us a glass of champagne. I will never forget it. Dean Martin once said that Sammy can't stop performing. "When he opens the fridge and the light comes on, he starts singing." See Sammy on Dean Martin's roast on KZread for more jokes.

He knew how to develop the narrative of a song. He understood how to use phrasing and exploit the lyric to create tension and anticipation from the audience and of course he knew how to deliver a finale that completely satisfied expectation. He was a masterful storyteller with perfect pitch and timing. As for the actual instrument in that larnyx and diaphram, what control !

Unforgettable voice and unforgettable persona!! ❤❤
The Man who could do it all. Rest well Sammy😢
Over the years when I find myself feeling a little low, just not where I need to be mentally, I find this song, put on the earphones, and like magic! that last note brings life back to my very soul.

I think I hear this song in my sleep and when I get up in the morning after hearing it a couple of time the day before.
What an era, Sammy the best.
His voice makes me happy🎉
His voice is so relaxing and soothing, I love his music ❤❤❤❤❤
The best cover of this song I have ever heard
Sammy was the whole package. An incredibly talented person all his life.
The delivery, the tone, the timing... this guy's amazing.
The worlds greatest entertainer. Ever.
Mr Showman himself, the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. One of the trail blazers who made show business what it is today. What a class A" act he was. Love and miss you 💞 RIP
All D love. One of my all-time favorites..an out rages artist on all levels, a consummate musician, an absolute people’s entertainer. What can you say the great Sammy Davis Junior.. Frank Sinatra definitely loved Sammy beyond words what a great pal

Rap is better
For some reason I thought of this song , and by this artist... I now know why!!!, such a beautiful delivery, and arrangement... they don’t make EM like this no more!!!!!
Sammy had such a presence. So cool, so stylish, so elegant. His voice is rich, like a delicious cake.
My friends and I had a luau for him and his entourage in Haleiwa many moons ago. He sang, danced and laughed under the starry Hawaiian moonlight. He was a lovely man. That beautiful evening will be forever in my heart. C’est magnifque. Aloha oe to the magnificent one. 4:15 pm Hawaiian time January 27, 2023
That voice... and the whole time holding on to the cigarette.
The greatest entertainer of all time!!! Rip Sammy
Sammy Davis Jr deserves his own biopic.

Mr. Excitement
Beautiful singer
Yes. Strictly speaking if we are honest, 😆 Sammy was the best interpreter of songs even though others may have been given that title. if for no other reason than the inherent dramatic quality of his instrument! He played it like a master violinist on a Stradivarius!
Wish i could sing like him
They don`t make people like this anymore!!
