      Sammy is not only one but definitely IS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER.....EVER! Name one who can sing, dance, acts (in movies or Broadway stage), be a stand up comedian, impersonator and proficiently play at least 5 musical instruments out there.......NO ONE!

    I saw Sammy Davis in Vegas in 1977. One word describes his show. Magic. It was magic! He sang, joked danced and was charming to the audience. What a priviledge to see him perform. Greatest performer ever. He could do it all.

      Saw him the '70s, he was all of the superlatives people gave him and more. Got standing ovations, thunderous applause. Still say to people his talent was quite unbelievable and his sensitivity and connection to the audience was one would call 'magical'. His ability to bring to life a song as intended by the writers and then add his 'heart' I have never seen/ felt since.

Maybe that'll cut down on the dirty dancing that these kids seem to have to do no matter what kind of song comes on. Learn to have some pride about themselves bc its a damn shame what they calling music and dancing now.
