There's not enough early Sammy Davis Jr. footage. Thanks for posting this rarity.

Yes thank you my Grandfather Will was a remarkable dancer and grandfather I miss him dearly. My father Will Mastin Jr looks a lot like him.

Will Mastin, (Sammy's uncle) on the right, was 75 years old here (born in 1878). Remarkable!

Richard Harrison I was just thinking the same thing but you guys already covered it! is it any wonder he lived to 100? Wow!!

Sammy Davies Jnr the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And thanks to Will Mastin for giving him the stage to get him started, a talent in his own right along with Sammy Snr. Great stuff

Gotta respect these guys, they overcome incredible hardship to get there

Dude, that was probably THE most impressive imitation of Jerry Lewis I've ever seen in my LIFE! Sammy was amazing!!!!

its so cool to type in Will Mastin and get the right stuff!!

I'm 70 years old. So glad to see a younger generation discovering the remarkable Sammy Davis, Jr. who was probably the greatest performer of my lifetime. Just saw the PBS documentary

Wow this performance blew me away especially when Sammy went on the floor and did his aerobatics on the floor.

Entertainers who knew how to entertain! Incredible talent on display.

Now we know where Michael Jackson got the kick from

DANG!!! The dancing at the end blew me away!!!!! AMAZING! Thank you SO much for sharing.

Thanks so much for this! I'm reading "In Black and White " and wanted to see what I'm reading about. Thanks again.

Leo Fouc You are a very lucky man! NanaAnn

Sammy was doing break dance waaay ahead of it's time

HOLY MOLY! I've just been entertained!

Wow, I'm impressed! Sammy didn't need his dad or uncle. Can you imagine seeing this guy live? He did this stuff for years. Sammy was the most talented member of the Rat Pack. He was a singer , a dancer an actor, a mimic and he played the drums and other musical instruments. Sammy gave his audience their money's worth and then some!

Yes, not when he was grown up. But he sure as hey-ell learnt a lot from them while he was growing up!!!

Stephanie....I've read Sammy's autobiography several times and almost feel as if I know Will and Sammy and his dad personally even though they were before my time. I guess I don't really have anything breathtaking to say, just that all three were highly talented and totally unmatched by any of the so-called talent since their time. Wish I could've been around back then. Honor to meet you!!!

They were good friends and Jerry really helped Sammy in honing his skills. As a matter of fact as a copywriter I have learned certain things from Jerry as well that I apply to my writing. Jerry was a smart and generous man. I miss him but oh how I miss Sammy I recommend Sammy's 2 autobiographies but I also recommend the book by his buddy Arthur Silber amzn.to/2HMhoYT There are some details in it that you simply would not believe. Sammy shares a lot about his life but he omits some things. Silber put some things in there that had me having my mouth open

Milton's weekly series was known as "THE BUICK-BERLE SHOW" at that time (1953-'55).

AWESOME

Superb live performance.

wow sammy with both eyes :D

A-Ma-Zing!

Sammy was a talent. I hate how he didn't get all the money he earned look so many of these great master entertainers.

woooaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuu

Sammy Davis Jr. doing Jerry Lewis?

Mastin is my maiden name

Sammy Davis Jr Movie ? 2023

Many good impersonations. Particularly liked Jimmy Stewart, though Cary Grant wasn't at all impressive. All three are legends.

Shit Sammy steal the show

Sammy was a stud when he was young. Too bad he let all those ciggies and alcohol ravaged his health…not to mention the methamphetamines he must've shot up for this manic performance.

Please
