That's really sweet to see Father and Son be really loving and affectionate toward one another.
True talent! love Sammy! Greatest of all time! RIP Sammy we miss you sooo much still after all these years. rest in peace....
I loved him so much and still do. And will till I die.
So sweet to see Sammy dad say he’s proud of Jr. and kiss him. That’s why Sammy was known to be a loving person because of his dad. Beautiful
If you read his biographies you will see how close and loving his Dad and Uncle were toward him... his. Childhood wasn't normal, but it was loving.
It was normal for him.
Yes I already know Will wasn’t his blood Uncle
When I hear Mr Bojangles...it makes me want to cry.x God bless you Sammy!
Wow! This was uploaded 11 years ago and I just found it December 21, 2021...I Love Sammy Davis Jr. My first record was Candyman, my Mother bought for me...what a wonderful gift, I think I was under 10 years old and I'm 53 yrs. His voice always brings my spirit up when I'm feeling blue... So much charisma and energy, with his presence and his voice just reaches out and touches the hearts of his audience
Whoever uploaded this has a good heart. And not too many people got it like that.
Takes me back to the 70's with my family watching this gentleman entertaining us in our living room leaving us with everlasting memories, God blessed us with Sammy Davis Jr.
rip sammy davis jr and sammy davis sr.
Really lovely - thanks. So moving. Altho' l was a typical '60's teenager into the Beatles etc, l was always totally entertained by this man when l was lucky enough to see him on Aust. TV.
Omg he was as gorgeous then as he was as a grown up
They say that Jazz was the first American artform. Well i contend that the second was the T.V Special.The lighting, staging, camera angles, material, costume designs, musicians, arrangements. I mean as the tiniest detail just watch the mike lead in this clip. Masterful all round.
Sammy Davis Sr. honestly looks 10 years ahead of the pack in terms of style.
Sweet.
Greatest
Thank you so much for uploading this show. I saw it in the 70s on TV, and could only remember bits of it. I'm so glad to finally be able to watch it again.
I love this video : }
OH THANK YOU FOR THIS UPLOAD! Wow as a huge Sammy fan I just love this!
the moment at 5:30 is the awsome..... the look in sr eyes broke me up
what a great video :D
Thank you for sharing this video Johan
wow sammy was looking later on in life when he was in his 60s that his mom grandmother and father where all alive
I was just thinking exactly that.
ya know, a lot of times I can't get past Mr. Davis' sugary presentations, his overly dramatic laughter and cowering before an audience for their approval. I understand that was his act, but in my lil ol opinion, it was too much. SO refreshing to see him here more relaxed and I think, honest. That said, Mr. Bo Jangles comes off as very sincere, rivaling John Denver's version (quite under-rated). Thx for posting, cat!!
makthnife - Sammy had to wax humble because during his life and times, any other attitude could have meant the end of his life . . . crossover appeal was important . . .
@MegaGum1 no, but even though I didn't fight in the Civil War, I can still talk about it. I'm was talking purely from a show business view point, as a performer.
@makthnife
but you weren't walking in his shoes
