Sammy became a parody of himself in later years. The over the top laughing and so called looking hip in the 70’s was cringe worthy. Supporter Nixon…headscratcher! All that said he is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

In nursery school I played a role as Dr. Sammy Davis jr. It was Jesus sweet great -I just pray that All the RatPack are in HEAVEN Now!!&& please pray for my favorite star socialite and entrepreneur Dr Kim Kardashian esquire forever ♾️💍 and mother Kris Jenner and families and one day we'll all have our own individual universe's With Jesus sweet permission -Dear tiny tots John 14 :12-and Jesus bless the Humble Great President Donald John Trump and you all's families 🙏🙏 thank heavens for peaceful presidential election 2024AD--🙏🙏✌️✌️🚭👠🏌️🏌️😍🌎🌍🙈🙊🚭🚭🚭🙏

He could do it all!!! One of the GREATEST entertainers of all time!!!!

The antiquated Bruno Mars😥

I am here in 2025 ... who else is here? Can't get enough of Regina's singing ‼️ She sounds grrrrrreeeeeeat❗️ 🎶🎤💖

I saw Luther perform times. He was and is my absolute favorite artist. No one will ever take his place. I saw him perform twice in one year. He was truly an entertainer. Everything was flawless. I was always In awe of his performances. He was a genius on so many levels. I really miss you, Luther. Why did you have to leave so soon?

Why is it impossible to find a live version that isn't lip sync?

Sammy wasn't a sellout and them guys weren't racist against him they loved him

RIP❤

He was incredible

Missing Luther in 2025. 💔

CHUCK BROWN DOING 'LL COOL J I'M BAD' IS EPIC

It's always easy to judge!! And not have the balls to take a stand!!!

One of my Favorite Blaxploitation flicks

My boy. Back then meant My bro. Nuff said. Ok.

I'm glad Sinatra brought Dean and Jerry Lewis together on the MD Telethon

Oh,GOD how to bring back dis kind of talent! Mizing dem so much!!! Dean Martin l love his " ALL D WAY"

News of his passing broke my heart I didn't even go to work that day....😢

You're one of the few that actually pronounced his name properly.It's pronounced: Crow-setty.Not! Crow -shetty.How do I know, because of several interviews on KZbin where he corrected the interviewer when they would pronounce it wrong.

Sammy was the youngest of the Rat Pack, ten years younger than Frank, and eight year younger than Dean, Frank said he was "a wonderful boy" because he and Dean thought of Sammy like a kid brother. If you think it was "racist" you should probably off yourself now because life get so much worse than this, and you're already a pathetic piece of shit, why go on any further?

Davis was a stupendous talent.... and very much a race icon...before there were any really. The Rat Pack were a political contradiction. While Sinatra rudely forced Las Vegas to integrate, specifically standing by Davis, Sinatra obviously a philosophical liberal , a huge vocal supporter of JFK , felt crushed by not being welcomed to the Kennedy celebration, into the fold. Another Rat-packer married a Kennedy. And then Sammy Davis suddenly supported Nixon. Dean Martin's son died whilst training as a military pilot, a career he chose. Military pilots don't necessarily do good things. I think basically they were a bunch of good guys who enjoyed every minute of it and got the most out of life.

The world misses you

The nicest man…

Excellent film with a strong message. This is my first time seeing this. It wasn’t the typical “let’s get whitey” film. Paul Winfield did an excellent job. Mr. Ossie Davis’s direction truly captured the times of NY in the ‘70s. It looked very raw, edgy, and gritty.

Hi, It's Annette Hollander posting my latest recording of a Jazz Standard entitled "Invitation" by Bronislav Kaper with an arrangement from Quincy Jones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpvHfKOhqrdsgJYsi=Q1FpqLMtAfOxGnk7

I miss the days when R&B sounded like and was SUNG like this LIVE!! All this synthesized vocals and now A.I. vocals of today make me puke.

Jermaine was and still is a beast vocally and playing the bass❤🙏👑

So grateful I was alive to see this. NO better one than Dean Martin.

I loved Sammy Davis Jr. Played his records over and over. Read and reread his book, "Yes, I can!" Best entertainer of his time.

Great upload, thank very much, you get reminded of humankind's best, so good you can overlook him, let him sink into the background as a carrier and creator of a certain culture, iconic as they say.

RIP

I can imagine that Sinatra was very mournful as the two were very close.

This is one of my favorite blaxploitation flicks of the 70s my father had this on VHS 📼 in the early 90s and I use to watch with him when I about 3 years old and didn’t even know that it was filmed in the city where I grew up NYC. Also when I got older I bought the movie on dvd digitally remastered by shout factory and also for everyone who doesn’t know the pimps the drug dealers the prostitutes and junkies were not actors or actresses they were real life NYC street hustlers and even the actor who played in the movie Tony King even said it himself in the commentary of the movie.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE . NO FUZZ CLEAR . HD 💯 . 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

THERE IS A STORY SURROUNDING ON WHY SAMMY BECAME A REPUBLICAN. A STORY THAT WAS NOT TOLD UNTIL YEARS LATER. HE BECAME A REPUBLICAN RIGHT ALONG WITH FRANK SINATRA BECAUSE OF HOW THEY WERE TREATED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AROUND THE TIME JOHN KENNEDY BECAME PRESIDENT. FRANK AND THE BOYS DID EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP KENNEDY GET ELECTED. I THINK THERE WERE FUNDRAISERS U NAME IT THESE DUDES WERE INVOLVED IN TO HELP THIS MAN GET ELECTED. IT WAS SAID ALLEGEDLY FRANK WAS HELPING JOHN K. GET WOMEN. THERE WERE STUFF INVOLVING FRANKS CONNECTIONS WITH THE MOB HELPING KENNEDY BECOME THE YOUNGEST AND FIRST CATHOLIC PRESIDENT EVER ELECTED. THE MAN GETS ELECTED THEN SOME CRAZY FUNNY STUFF STARTS HAPPENING. FRANK I THINK DUE TO BROTHER BOBBY ( JOHN K BROTHERS)FELT FRANK AND GANG NEEDED TO BE PUSHED OUT OF THE PRESIDENT INNER CIRCLE. ONE OF THINGS WAS SAMMY WASN’T INVITED TO ATTEND THE INAUGURATION BECAUSE HE WAS MARRIED TO A WHITE WOMAN AT THE TIME. THE WAY THE MOVES WAS BEING DONE WASN’T GOOD KINDA OF SHADY, LASTS MINUTE TACKY. THEN THERE WAS SOME STUFF AGAIN WITH FRANK LIKE KENNEDY CHANGING THE HIS PHONE NUMBERS ETC.. YEAH THE SAME DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT CAME TO DEPEND ON THE MOB TO WIN IN 1960 NOW WANTED NO PARTS OF THE MAN WHO HAS A HUGE ASSOCIATION AND CONNECTION WITH THE MOB - MEANING FRANK. FRANK “THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD” FOR REASONS WASN’T KIND TO PEOPLE BACKSTABBING NOT BEING LOYAL SNITCHES. YEAH HE HATED BEING PUSHED OUT AND HATED BOBBY KENNEDY EVEN MORE. PLUS HE WASN’T OKAY WITH THE WAY SAMMY DAVIS JR WAS TREATED BY THE PARTY. FRANK LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HE WANTED NO PARTS OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY ANY LONGER. I THINK HE SUPPORTED REPUBLICANS CANDIDATES UNTIL HIS DEATH. SAMMY AND FRANK BEING CLOSE DID THE SAME DECIDED TO DISTANCES HIMSELF AS WELL. THE ONLY PERSON WHO STAYED DEMOCRAT WAS PETER LAW FORD. THAT HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH PETER LAW FORD MARRYING A KENNEDY SISTER. MY UNDERSTANDING DEAN MARTIN WAS ALREADY A REPUBLICAN ON THE LOW. SO THAT IS THE STORY BUT THE STORY WAS NEVER TOLD UNTIL YEARS LATER SOMETIMES IN THE 80’s/90’s. I NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND FOLKS BEING SO EXTREMELY JUDGMENTAL ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON AND THEIR JOURNEY. WITHOUT REALLY FULLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT THIS PERSON JOURNEY WAS REALLY LIKE AT THE TIME. PARTICULARLY A TIME WHERE IF U KNEW OR EDUCATED YOURSELVES TO THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN FULLY. THEN U KNOW WHY WHAT SEEMS LIKE UNCLE TOM LIKE BEHAVIOR WAS REALLY A MAN TRYING TO SURVIVE. SURVIVAL THAT MY GENERATION AND GENERATIONS AFTER NEVER WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH. SO THIS VERY TALENTED MAN WAS ABLE TO SHOWCASE HIS TALENTS BASED ON THOSE POWERFUL WHITE CONNECTIONS - MEANING FRANK BEING THE BIGGEST MIND YOU. SO U CAN SAY HE WAS A UNCLE TOM SELL OUT A OREO COOKIE AND MAYBE SO. BUT WITHOUT U NOT KNOWING LEARNING OR BEING ABLE TO WALK INCLUSIVELY IN HIS SHOES. IT IS A LITTLE HARD IF NOT HARDER FOR U TO ACTUALLY GO THERE WITHOUT REALLY BEING THERE IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Couple of class acts. Dean was Koool.

I think the truth is way darker. In her book its written that she started doing drugs, then entered porn, and after that she came close to death from drugs. They were a couple when she started porn, so probably both Jack and her were drugs addicts and he fooled her to do porn for money.

Dan Martin was one of the most talented men in Hollywood. His vocals were so beautiful and lovely to listen to. He was multi talented, he could sing, act and do comedy brilliantly. Love him so much.

Good times!🤓

Man I walked around wit this jont In my pocket slim In everybody house gogo for life....❤️

Sad loss of of great singer!!

LOVE HER! NEED SOMEONE LIKE HER AGAIN!

The people objecting to Sinatra calling Davis a boy fail to realise not only Sinatra’s incredible advocacy for African Americans but also the fact that Sinatra was ten years older than Davis throughout their long-standing friendship. It’s as natural as someone calling their kid brother a “boy”

Nice film showing parts of the city that just doesn't exist anymore.

Wonderful wonderful BOY HUH FRANK I understand how his heart meant it but it’s use at all leaves one wondering

the G.O.A.T.

I LOVE ❤️ 😍 💖 EVERYBODY LOVES DINO .❤😊💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
