[@marleybob3157]

Jerry Jeff Walker wrote this in 1968. Walker said he was inspired to write the song after an encounter with a street performer in a New Orleans jail. While in jail for public intoxication in 1965, he met a homeless man who called himself "Mr. Bojangles" to conceal his true identity from the police. Mr. Bojangles had been arrested as part of a police sweep of indigent people that was carried out following a high-profile murder. The two men and others in the cell chatted about all manner of things, but when Mr. Bojangles told a story about his performing dog who was killed by a car, the mood in the room turned heavy. Someone else in the cell asked for something to lighten the mood, and Mr. Bojangles obliged with a tap dance.The homeless "Mr. Bojangles", who was white, had taken his pseudonym from Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (1878-1949), a black entertainer.

Well explained ! I looked into it and found those videos of the real Mr B dancing with Shirley Temple in a movie and realized the guy in the song is not him, but another guy using the nickname.

The song "In the Ghetto" was first offered to Sammy. He told the writer he couldn't do it justice because he never experienced that kind of life and said they should give it to Elvis. Sammy and Elvis were friends.

[@brheinfeldt]

I never knew that. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@fittrad3r687]

Mac Davis tells it differently....Elvis called Mac and asked if he had any more songs, as they were working on a new album. This was after the success of "memories" (which he wrote for the Comeback Special). According to Mac he had a list of like 19 songs. First 2 on the list was "in the ghetto" and "don't cry daddy". Elvis liked those 2 and recorded them.

As mentioned, song by Jerry Jeff Walker from Texas and his experience in a parish jail meeting Bojangles. The tune was the biggest radio hit for the iconic country-folk-rock ensemble, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

[@albikes8484]

Anything Sammy and Dean Martin is just gold. The whole Rat Pack was amazingly entertaining.

[@hockemeyer1]

Sammy Davis jr. started performing around age 3 after learning to tap joining his father and an uncle. The trio was named the Will Mastin Trio. Young Sammy became an accomplished dancer, singer, multi-instrumentalist and comedian. Sammy jr's nick name is Mr. Entertainment. He has been playing in films since 1933 when he was 8 years old. I grew up listening to the music of Sammy and his Rat Pack bothers Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, literally, as I was born in 48. Our radio was always going with big band music and early rock and roll. There was a real life Bojangles, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson not the Bojangles of the song but highly respected dancer, actor and activist whose career spanned 39 years, 1890-1949. He was the first black performer to appear in a Hollywood film in an interracial dance team. The film was the 1935 "The Little Colonel" with 7 year old Shirley Temple as his dance partner. He also taught Shirley to tap. Their dance included Bill's signature routine, the stair dance. He would tap up and down stairs in a rhythmically complex sequence of steps. As an activist he persuaded the Dallas Police Department to hire its first black policeman. His biography is worth reading. Wikipedia has a good biography on him as well. Bill was highly regarded by his entertainment contemporaries both black and white

[@matthewbecker964]

He had the purest voice imaginable. He sang from a place deep within yet still showbizzy. He had to put up with a lot of crap but kept his sweetness.

[@AP-gb3eh]

I’m amazed no one has made a movie of this amazing performer. He was onstage as a toddler with his parents in Burlesque. A great dancer actor, he was part of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack of Vegas. He married a beautiful white actress but the powers that were threatened their lives so they annulled it. He is a amazing story

[@seekexplorewander]

I grew up with my dad's mom in the house. She was born in 1922. I grew up watching modern stuff but also "classic" or "old" stuff like movies from the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's, etc. music - big band, jazz, blues, motown from that same range of time and I'm SO thankful folks even older than me and folks younger can go back now and discover this stuff online. It's not to knock modern stuff. I love modern music just as much and there are plenty of great modern musicians, dancers, actors, etc. BUT there is something classy and other worldly about performers like Sammy who had to learn how to entertain people without mics, without expensive props and stage design, and just be WILDLY great entertainers. Kudos to you for diving into such a gem of a performer and performance!

[@AJMjazz]

Sammy Davis Jr. was one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century. So many from his generation were of the same caliber. Dancer, singer, actor, comedian, musician; this was what an entertainer did for a living. Miss Britt, you missed out on experiencing some of the greatest entertainers between 1930 and 1990 and some of the greatest music from 1955 to 1995. Fortunately, most of it is available online for you to enjoy. I'm in my mid 60's and I enjoy your reaction to these greats from the mid 1900's. Enjoy and learn.

[@tnolddawg]

Sammy Davis was a life-long performer, literally singing and dancing professionally since he could stand on his feet ❤ So much a performer, at his last on screen appearance, not long before his death from cancer Gregory Hines did this number in tribute to Sammy and presented him with a pair of tap shoes...to everyone's surprise, Sammy put them on, got out of his wheelchair and danced with Hines a few steps and STILL outdanced him 🤩 Hines immediately dropped to his knees and bowed to his idol 🥰

[@dwh58]

You should react to Sammy as a kid dancing with his uncle and dad. He steals the show. Talent = Sammy Davis Jr. !

[@ahs1723]

Mr. Davis was the greatest all-around male performer in modern history. Singer, dancer (especially tap), drummer, Broadway and Hollywood actor, comic, raconteur, and even quick-draw shooter. Please react to him singing "Who Can I Turn To", live.

[@edprzydatek8398]

Years ago I read Sammy Davis Jr's book: "Yes I Can". He started out at a very young age ( maybe 8 or so ) in Vaudeville with his father and uncle I believe in an act called The Will Matson Trio. He became the star of the act and went on to stardom, overcoming many obstacles including losing an eye in a car accident. You should check out some early footage of him doing some amazing dancing.

[@PatrickEdwards-k4y]

There is a later performance of this song when Sammy was much older. For me, in that performance, you get the sense that he wasn't singing about someone he encountered. He had become Mr. Bojangles and was singing about himself. Quite striking, if you ask me.

Beyond singing and dancing, he was a serious actor. In his stage act he included comedy impressions and was quite incredible, he also had a passion for 'quick draw', the old west style of drawing your pistol out quickly.

He was a performer and entertainer that excited audiences with all he did.

Country /folk singer / sound writer "Jerry Jeff Walker "wrote the song "Mr. Bojangles" based on a man he met while he was in jail for public intoxication. The man was a homeless street performer who was actually a white man, he'd perform his dancing to help to lighten the mood in their jail cell. He assumed the name "Mr. Bojangles" based off of real tap dancer, actor, & singer "Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. So, the story goes, Jerry Jeff Walker at one time was actually in jail with a street performer who called himself "Mr. Bojangles".

Sammy was one of the greatest all-round performers; Sing, dance, act ... and one of the greatest tap-dancers. You should see more of his work. The show in Detroit I saw them at (Frank, Sammy and Dean Martin used to tour together) was the very first show that their other touring partner Dean missed due to personal troubles ... Dino never got well again ... and it was before Liza Minnelli took over for Dino's spot on the rest of the tour ... so I just missed Dino and also Liza. Bojangles is a tear jerker.

Thank you Miss Britt. You are without a doubt my favorite reactor and your comments are thought provoking. Three words to describe Mr. Sammy Davis Jr, TALENT TALENT and TALENT. He was a dancer, singer and an actor. He had more talent in his pinky than most entertainers have in their entire body. Mr. Bojangles was a culmination of hoofers, also known as tap dancers. Sammy said he hated performing this song because it reminded him too much of the performers he knew that got caught up in drugs or alcohol and their careers were never what they could have been. Sammy himself started performing at the ripe old age of three, traveling with his father and uncle. If you want to know more about him, I highly recommend watching The Sammy Davis Jr. 60th Anniversary. Aside from a massive array of celebrities honoring him, there’s lots of footage of his years in entertainment. He was short and very thin but his stature was enormous. I hope you do more reactions of him. Till then, Accept your blessings today. 😊
