The amount of talent on that stage is almost unreal.

[@karenstrycharz1499]

“THE RAT PACK!” Wow! Seeing them here reminds me of my childhood, laying on the floor as my parents & Nana watched them on tv, roaring w/ laughter at their antics! This is so heartwarming to watch these four men who obviously loved & respected each other, on stage, poking fun at one another & just having a great time! This was pure entertainment & so great to see Johnny Carson there too( he looked so young but then again they all did! Ha!)! This was so very long ago! “Thanks to UTUBE FOR ALWAYS GIVING US THE BEST VIDEOS/PHOTOS, ALLOWING US ALL TO RELIVE SPECIAL & FAVORITE MEMORIES!❤️

The whole concert benefit, was great. Loved this and after years, still watches the whole thing. Just so sad, that times will never be like this again

[@russellcarter1872]

Classic! 4 legends! Love this stuff. We will never see this much fun and natural talent again. It was a different time.

[@Harlin67]

As a person in his 50's, having watched SDJ, FS and DM in films, I'm unsure why I'm so nostalgic when I see these guys together. Can it just be a simple as four mates having a laugh, four guys who genuinely loved\liked each other, I think so, I really do.

[@cookingforfools8691]

This almost makes me cry. These guys are able to joke around about race relations, because they are good friends. It feels like we have gone backwards. :(

[@dragons8822]

WE HAVE !!! They were great friends & there's a story about Frank & Dean, they heard that the hotel/ casino wouldn't let Sammy Davis in thru the front door, that he had to enter like all blacks who worked there, thru the back. So the guys got ahold of the front desk & management to tell them that either Sammy was allowed to enter thru the front doors with them or like them 8or they were leaving & would never play there again.... So low & behold Sammy was allowed to enter thru the front doors & so were "all" the other black employees, know why ? They'd lose too much money & also, didn't want to take a chance of the other employees being backed by The Rat Pack....

[@mulberryjohn7413]

Holy Moly- they were not only outrageously hilarious-. But what talent they all possessed ! All superstars in their own rights- but as a Team- unbelievable ! Nothing was off the table and it didn’t matter- because they all truly respected and loved each other and the talents they brought to the act. ! Gosh I miss this !

[@anoneumouse3156]

Sammy the Jester, Frank the Performer and Dean the Entertainer. "I bid you a very heartfelt good night."

[@AccordionJoe1]

All great talents, but SDJ was the greatest. Sammy was a world class dancer, an incredible impressionist, an excellent actor and a pretty good singer.

[@cmurdock5256]

A pretty good singer?? You sound like the old movie studio exec who said once that Fred Astaire could "dance a little".

[@barbarafischbach8480]

And an all around nice person!

[@patscott8612]

You said it man. Sammy Davis was one of the most underrated all round entertainers ever.

[@cardlover6]

He was more than a pretty good singer I would say. Check out his performance of "What Kind of Fool am I" from the Andy Williams Show. Classic.

[@johndelvecchio5245]

Frank Sammy and Dean were so smooth and cool and had alot of talent rest their souls.

[@trishlangford5773]

Just adored Sammy. I've loved him all my life. And the rest of the Rat Pack. They knew what entertainment was in those days. Not the whiney, woke, preachy, lecturing drivel that spews out of Hollywood today. They had fun and brought some light and levity into our lives.

[@natalie1315]

I don't know how many times i've watched this but i get so much joy out of it every time.
