@@arncoo63 rape is rape no matter how long ago it happened
@@willohealy4737 so what a lie is also a lie too no matter it's the Truth or not!
When Sammy died, I cried that night because I knew that someone truly magnificent had left this earth. I remember watching The Cosby Show after he passed and Bill was wearing a button that said SDJ as a tribute to his friend for the whole season. Both awesome entertainers and I am honored to have been apart of that time.
Sammy Davis is is the Greatness of all times Entertainer and a Great human being. He is missed . Bill Cosby is also a Great trial blazer. He has done some great projects with education
YES! 💙
That opening was a riot!
I have laughed all throughout this video. I love Dr. Bill Cosby and Sammy Davis Jr., they are two of my heroes. Thank you for sharing this video.
Shout out to Sammy and Bill
Bill Cosby one of the greatest Performers of my time could control and audience better then most!
This was recorded between 1988 - 1990. What a rare gem! 💞
~Queen~
There's something magical about Sammy's rendition of Mr. Bojangles.
I was just thinking that!
This Bojangles was good, but the best I saw him do was on live TV -- he wore a dark suite & the set had just the spot light with a street lamp post located down stage & right...this one comes close: czcams.com/video/n5ZFvAS24PQ/video.html
Thank you
Fuck it im still a cosby fan from tv and movies not his personal life. Sammy is and will forever be great.
Two of the greatest
Whether I'm right. or whether I'm wrong.. whether I find a place in this world or never belong. I gotta be me! I gotta be! That dream that I see makes me who I am 👑🔆🙏💙💙💙 Sammy and Bill much love & respect 💙💙💙👑
sdj is soo neat and clean and gentlemanly on this stage....1111111
When BC was doing his tribute to Sammy, I thought it was brilliant how they had the camera on Sammy in the background so you could catch his reaction! Even though his face was blurred, you could see his full reaction! The first time I saw this I screamed, I was laughing so hard! That’s still my favorite part! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ I miss him! I miss his wonderful talent!
Sammy Davis opened so many doors broke down many barriers! Thank you great man! R.I.P.
What a great performance!👏🏿
Sammy Davis Jr. was alive and so cool! Bill Cosby too, unlike his current situation now though (we have to try to ignore it)! These guys were living the real life, because in that dispensation of time they were truly enjoying themselves and living life for real! There would be no need to resurrect Sammy now in this day and age, because surely if he were to see what is going on today, he would be sad.
When I heard Sammy Davis Jr. bust out singing, I had just realized that I was Born In The Wrong Era! I wish I could say, "You can keep this dispensation of time to yourself, with all its misery and Covid - 19, but I wish to be sent on a one way trip back to the 80's and remain stuck there forever!" I only wish.
If any of you wish the same thing by any chance, then do yourself a favor and keep repeating this to yourself (tapping your heels together as well is unnecessary): "I was Born In The Wrong Era! I was Born In The Wrong Era! I was Born In The Wrong Era!"
Keep on repeating it to yourself until you really believe it, because deep down, you know it's the truth!
Mr Cosby will forever be my life saver man opened my world to so many ideas 💡 and whoever places a negative comment on this ya mother sucks breath mints in my best fresh prince voice.
Man, I grew up watching these men. I didnt appreciate it then but trust me, I DO NOW!!! This made my evening. Thank you for uploading this. Ive never seen it before. Fantastic 👌
Two great entertainers 🥰
SEXY ENTERTAINERS STICK TOGETHER. 💋
Bro I have seen the half clips of this show on CZcams and found this full video I'm laughing my ass off soo hard my head hurts this Bill Cosby true comedy at work and Sammy Davis Jr awesome performance man nowadays people need to look at this fr fr
Salute to these brothers
Much love and respect for two legends Sammy and Bill💛❤️💜💙💚💖💞🎶🙏🏽🙏🏽🔆🔅
Thank you for sharing this! Sammy was my ❤️! Even though I was a teen in the 80s, I admired him so much! It hurt me badly when he passed! My younger brother recorded this off BET while I was in the military doing Basic Training and AIT. He had missed some parts of it, so I didn’t get to see it all until now! Thanx so much!
23:28 The yr is 2021 and as the years go by we've faced Covid, highest unemployment rate, highest gas prices, poor housing, inflation ect. As an adult you realize this era "isnt heart warming or fun" I have to go back in time too keep my sanity
Very Classy Brothers.
THIS IS AMAZING
Reality is there are alot of people from old Hollywood with shady pasts that for most we didn't learn of until long after their deaths. and yet, we still call their works Hollywood treasures. Cos is no different, even though he lived to go through paying for it. it is what it is, his works from the past are treasures. If a person can watch gone with the wind knowing what happened to the black actors on the cast and the celebration of slavery... I do not see much of a difference in looking back on what we loved cosby for. before we all found out about his life antics. hollywood scandals. they are what they are or dont watch any of it. not even youtube.
Thank you for sharing this. You can't find treasures like that anywhere else. Sammy Davis Jr and Bill Cosby, two friends, two great entertainers.
Thank you REALBLACK this is special.
This was recorded in 1988 not 1990!! Sammy was too frail and sick to perform!! Sammy passed on May 16th 1990!! Bill Cosby and Sammy Davis, Jr. filmed this live at Harrah's Lake Tahoe, NV, on November 15-20, 1988!! For several years weeks!! Bill Cosby and Sammy Davis, Jr. collaborated in live performances on Broadway and on tour in selected theaters across the country!! 💯
It would seem that it was recorded in 1988, but released after Davis' passing in 1990, hence the tacked-on "I'll see you later, Sam." It was not one man saying good night after a performance, it was a tribute.
A Sammy Davis was one hell of an icon he was once a friend and I was once his booking agent over the years to always be remembered now for Bill Cosby he was in prison and should be getting out soon even though he's in his early '80s he should be able to still do 100 City tour when he gets out will be as hot as a pistol
BROOKLYN NEW YORK, GoD Bless u Sammy, Rest in Paradise, Thanks For The Memories
I love my people....and ReelBlack, our Smithsonian✊🏿
These two men paved the way for many artist ; they walked through a lot of back doors so others could walk through the front. Sammy was a mastermind at the one liners-just an overall awesome entertainer! "Spent all your money on clothes huh?" "You have let jello pudding go to your head." 🤣🤣
If i could i would take a flight back in time......way back to. 1983.....thanx Reel Black #WerdUp
Magic all around. Thank your this curating!
Oohh! I don't know how I missed this upload! Can't wait to get comfortable with my popcorn while casting this to my TV 😍
Who would have ever thought the beloved Cos would fall so far from grace? I think it was his need to preach to others, esp black comedians, that brought him down
EXCELLENCE.
Quality, quality and quantity.
Congrats and thanks for providing this beautiful evening second to none.
Thank u VERY much for posting this. I NEVER seen the complete show. Once again, Reelblack rules. They have classic, rare, hardly seen, or forgotten footage and they post it on CZcams for the world to see. Please keep it coming! This concert was in ‘88 not ‘83.
Amazing performance. yeah, I was looking at Cosby's outfit thinking that's not 83 fashion...
Dr. Cosby was presenting Sammy and the way I see it it was Sammy's show to this point that I've seen. Dr. Cosby did a fantastic job and allow Sammy to have the spot light.
Great talent by both men
Two of the GREATEST! Bar NONE!
This is the best TV show I have ever seen. At the concert celebrating Sammy Davis Jr.'s 60 years of acting career (he's 63 years old❗), the members are amazing, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Whitney Houston, and so on. According to Koichi Kitamura's "Jazz Vocal Sentimental Journey", Sammy Davis underwent surgery for pharyngeal cancer a little while ago, lost his voice, and the progress was not so good, and the performers also said their last farewell at the same time as the celebration. It seems that I knew it would be.
OMG, ABSOLUTELY LOVELY, GREAT SHOW.
This was great!!!!
@reelback You will never know what it means to be a member of your forum. This is just too wonderful! Thank you for your time and effort to bring us together!!
☺️
He was the greatest and I still love his music and watching all the shows he did in the past. He was the BEST!
Thank goodness for RB!!!
What a phenomenal person! Magical miracle memories!! Excellence.
Thank you for sharing #love
Considering that Bill played ALL WRONG NOTES makes him quite astute at the keyboard.
We still miss you both
Only miss sammy. Fuck Bill cosby.

William Henry Cosby Jr. (Filadelfia, Pensilvania; 12 de julio de 1937), más conocido como Bill Cosby, es un comediante, actor, músico, escritor de stand-up estadounidense.
Sammy davis jr.was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.to be candid when ever bill cosby was on stage with sammy davis the show went down hill. When sammy Davis jr.and jerry lewis performed together ,that was a classic night.sammy was great,cosby was boring.after watching this show i couldnt wait to watch sammy and jerry live at the ballys hotel.that was pure entertainment.from robert,the s.f. giant fan
You can take all his money defame him and block him up guilty or
Duas feras
never saw this...thanx homie!!!
Just Dynamite!!!!
Cosby had been working on Leonard Part 6 since 1983? It didnt come out until 1987.
It takes awhile for some movies to get to screen
D Robinson let me get this str8. You're taking the time to spew your hatred over another human under each comment... 🤔 *is everything at home okay*
Hatred is the lowest form to be so for you to try & play the judge how are you any better than Bill or the rest of us normal folks who openly accepts our flaws?
@@DonovanRobinson420 you were educated by a uneducated school and it shows.
This performance was actually done in 1987/88. They began working in Harrah’s hotel in 1983. That’s why it’s copyrighted in 1983. They had been doing the show together for several years before they did the video tape. That is why you see a Leonard part six sweatshirt.
Can you get us another one PLEASE!?.
My grandmother had met Sammy Davis at the same clinic we're they have gotten their eye 👁️ replace with a artificial eye 👁️
When in doubt, give em' some benadryl.
Sammy would have made a wonderful Phantom
This is such a beautiful photo.
Man that set starting at 1:00:00 is pure gold lol
What is it about the mark of a champion comedian is being able to exit with Toilet Humor? All of the greats do it really well.
Why was BCs piano tune somewhat decent though 😂 that joint was swingin what the heck 😮
"Put the hat on at a rakish angle"
(Reaches for roofie)
*"I said RAKISH, not RAPE-ISH!!!!"*
and on a conspiracy note . . . look at bill's hoodie, then remember his "disastrous" 1987 film of the same name. it would take forever to type out the connections between this show and that movie, but i suggest you watch the two and analyze all of the masonry going on.
How on earth do you get these videos? i am subbed
I had the distinct honor and privilege of meeting one of the finest and greatest human beings that I have ever known who went by the name Timmie Rogers? He once said to me that I must have done lost my mind taking a black man to go eat RAW FISH?
J Constitute
Bill Cosby and Sammie Davis that's a show full of comedy
Song in the intro?
So classic. Who is Sammy today
Does anyone find it strange that Sammy Davis Jr. died shortly after this great celebration? I do.
He died in 1990.
Was Sammy short, or was Bill very tall?
Duh?
The eye joke lol. No PC crap.
@Samuel Martin Fuck Off!
Cosby and Davis were longtime friends and Davis had a sense of humor about himself. I don't think that either you or I could walk up to Davis and start making eye jokes. Cosby has spoken to far more audiences for a living than you or I, so he has, by this time, a good idea of what he can say.
As for "PC", standards and times change. Social media has allowed organization of outrage, so change* happens faster now. PC is not a great term: I prefer "responsible". Free speech is expensive, won at a great cost. It does not mean spouting off at one's heart's content.
Complaining about political correctness should be better framed as "context". Watching/hearing art and having a grasp on the sociological trends of the times makes for a better experience. That is why "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen was such a scandal in the 19th century. It is no longer a bold move to write a play about a woman thinking of leaving her husband.
*If you don't believe that humor changes (and should), take a look at this link:
www.ozy.com/good-sht/shaw-and-lee-vaudevilles-loony-futurists/41753/
@@brianphillips579very well said. Thank you for this. PC has become a pejorative, where it doesn’t mean what people think it means. Many think it means brutal honesty and that what is said is somehow an infallible truth. People also tend to think being “free” is saying everything you think when in reality, they wouldn’t say certain things in front of their sweet old grandma. Strangers deserve that same basic respect. It’s being like you said, simply responsible.
This was a tribute to someone. Who was it?
Tom Mix
Bill Cosby was born in 1937. In this video, did he say, he was 53? If so, and this event took place in 83, something doesn't add up?
The fact that Cosby sweat shirt says "Leonard Part 6' Crew means this show had to have taken place in 1987 or 1988 or early 1989.
At 1:38:10 he gives his age as 51, which would make the year of performance as 1988. He was married in January of 1964, which would be 24 years of marriage. He mentions 25 years of marriage, but let's face it, this is a comedy routine, not a documentary, interview or biography. Also, his sweat shirt mentions "Leonard, Part 6", which was released in 1987. The "Two Friends" show was performed in 1983, 1985 and 1988. This was recorded at a 1988 show and was released by Jemmin, Inc. in 1990, hence the tacked-on, "I'll see you later, Sam". Davis had died before this was released.
"I don't know if it was the fifth year, or the fifteenth..." shows up in 1991 on his album "Oh, Baby".
