Wow. Never saw this. Them together. Amazing.. Can anyone today dance and entertain like either of them? Loved it.

Rest In Peace dear old Lionel Blair. One of the last of his generation of showbiz dancers. Dancing with Sammy now 🌹

Priceless. Two legends. Blair is impossibly graceful.

Just amazing talent from both men. That sort of live performance is rarely, if ever, seen today.

Which sad person didn't like this? Such fun to watch. RIP Lionel and Sammy.

Theoobivril,Sammy Davis Jr was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.

OMG they were seriously brilliant entertainers, all round, fun, excitement, and heaven now has a duet about to be reignited.

Both now tapping in the sky, RIP.

I can tell you now...Sammy didn't upstage Lionel, he held his own with a more understated performance that let Sammy take the lead and still managed to have stage presence in his own right...that takes talent, especially at the side of Sammy Davis Junior...RIP Lionel, this footage goes to show how talented he was and not just a regular on 'Give Us a Clue'. There was so much more to him x

So glad I came across this! RIP Lionel Blair. What a showman!

Amazing talents. RIP Sammy and Lionel, gentlemen both.

What a wonderful way to remember Lionel Blair. Such exuberance, such talent, such fun! RIP.

what a great entertainers and marvellous performance. They don't make them like that any more. RIP Sammy and Lionel

One of the last of that generation of Showbiz gone. Tarbuck probably the only one left now from that era.

RIP Lionel Blair. I had never seen this clip before. What an amazing performance from two great entertainers from another age. Fabulous!

Thank you, that was beautiful.. They are back together now tapping for the angels.

TWO GENIUS’s absolutely brilliant ❤️❤️❤️ RIP TO BOTH

I can't really add to what has already been said, some wonderful tributes to these fabulous entertainers, & that's what they both were, entertainers, & they lived to entertain, a former friend & colleague of both these stars, probably would have rounded up both their career's with his own catchphrase, " Well, didn't they do well", guess who ?. Hasta luego amigo's TJR Canary Islands.

RIP Lionel Blair 🙏

I love this-thank you. The world needs more tap dancing.

Two words to describe this. Amazing. Magic.

RIP Lionel Blair

Lovely! I had no idea Lionel was such a hoofer. RIP.

Can't help but smile. Brilliant stuff!

So glad to have seen this! Just the sheer exuberance of it! What incredible talent on display from both men. Thank you so much for posting all things Sammy. ❤️

Fabulous. Thanks for sharing. Two amazing entertainers! RIP x

I can't believe I have never seen this one!!! That was AWESOME!!!

Fantastic stuff. RIP Mr Blair.

Absolutely fantastic !!!!

Brilliant. Both still tapping and thrilling, just elsewhere and new audiences (or maybe old ones!). And reunited.

RIP Lionel Blair, always entertaining, never took himself seriously.

I love this dance

My earliest recollections of Lionel were dancing with his sister on TV, always a wonderful personality and between him and Una Stubbs absolutely first class on Give us a clue. Will be sadly missed by his legions of fans

Love this as they're both so obviously enjoying it and so evenly matched!

Great childhood memories of watching this clip over the years. 👏👏

Joyous.

Two total legends that we have lost!! 😞 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great clip, thanks for posting it.

Absolutely spectacular. Sammy Davis - what a god of talent. Lionel Blair was so underrated. He was incredibly talented.

A Loving, Loyal family man Hi 👋🏾 Dad and family Still waiting for your infamous appearance and knock ✊🏻 on the door 🚪 NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER THAN THE “ Originators”!!! ALL HAPPY AND NO Birth pains brought forth by sinful tendencies Bring it on HOME DAD Just a few minutes away from tapestry………………………….. Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah “ I CAN DANCE WITH MY FATHER!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!” Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye I promise not to stand atop your Size 12’s

RIP Lionel

Lionel more than held his own in this one. Bravo.

Sammy of course was a genius. But Lionel Blair was underated, with there being much more to him than met the eye. He was a smooth compere, in the same class as Bob Monkhouse and Sir Bruce Forsyth, and just like those two he was also a great ad libber as well as a talented dancer. He was never out of work for long, that's for sure, because as well as all of the above he was often hired by film producers as a choreographer, his skills being used in films such as The Beatles vehicle, A Hard Days Night. Because of his flamboyant dress style and laid-back manner people used to mistakenly think that he was a homosexual and also smarmy but he was a favourite with the ladies, although he had one of the longest and happiest marriages in showbusiness and he was brilliant at putting the contestants at ease on shows like our version of Name that Tune. Of course, I didn't know all this as a teenager when he was one of the captain's on the charade based show, Give us a Clue but now that he's gone I kind of miss him for the talent and professionalism that he had.

Now that’s entertainment

WOW!

Wow

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I have got a movie DVD of Sammy Davies Junior Dean Martin Roger Moore Burt Reynolds Jack Elam and Jackie Chan in The Cannonball Run and I am dedicating this movie DVD to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx 🔑🏠😀

👍👍

SAMMY WAS A BAD MAN

that lionel could keep up with sammy speaks for itself

サミーは歌はうまかったけど　別の動画サイトでダンサーベスト10で歴代2位にランクインしていた!

And now we have Ant and Dec.

Entertainment by these 2 ‘OFF THE RICHTER SCALE’ Lionel could hold his own against Sammy and others from across the pond. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

💚2021✨Thank you, Blessings #MillenniumLanceAndTheOpenScroll 🌹 🎠🌈🌈🌈💍🌈🌈🌈🔥 keeping the Faith 💜😎

Sammy; "What do you wanna try lionel?" Lionel "How about this (dances a few steps)" Sammy "Wow,How do you do that, show me.!" Lionel "teach YoU?!,,,," friends ever since.

Blair was 5ft6inch tall and looks like Tyson fury next to Sammy i would estimate Sammy's Hight at 4ft9

why didn't this tall slender dancing entertainer play the Dick Van Dyke role in the Mary Poppins movie? he's Canadian / British and actually has a British accent, albeit not a cockney accent. i guess the film being made by americans/disney gave Van Dyke the edge for the role.

Lional blair was often the butt of jokes but he really had talent.
