That's incredible. Nat King Cole's voice was so rich, I didn't think any one could imitate it. Sammy Davis Jr was an awesome talent. How ever, it was hilarious to see my favorite male singer turn the tables on Sammy and imitate his voice.

+larry potter I don't think he was trying to imitate Sammy's voice - more like make fun of Sammy's impression of him. I may be wrong but that's what I got from it. :-)

Craig Haylett, +larry potter - Craig Haylett that's how I ,too, "heard" it, which made it that much more fun, wonderful and magical. That clip, made what occurred between them look effortless, fun and easy, but it belies the the years of hard work and dedication, that each man put into developing and honing his respective craft. These two artists could "talk" to each other, in the language of their art, only as they could. The respect had to be mutual, because they had that inner knowledge, of what each had to endure, of what it took for both of them to[ eventually] be "there" and share that moment in time. Maybe it might be likened to two Marines of different periods, sharing a knowing look, when they speak of(going through) Parris Island. The rest of us can't relate.

They were both heavy smokers, which contributed to that richness, and I think made it easier for Sammy to do the impersonation, although he had a knack for doing them.
@nicjacksonmusic2 жыл бұрын
I heard it as Lary heard it, which was NAT turning the tables and imitating Sammy’s voice, which to me still had the same magical effect you described. Everyone knows Sammy can imitate anybody, but I need not think they were ready for NAT to do Sammy. I I know I wasn’t… lol

Only Nat King Cole could do this. His talent and charm was on another level. And his voice was actually his 2nd instruments. He also pioneered the Piano, Jazz guitar, and Bass trio combination. No one had done it before and no one could do it as well as him either since.

How gracious of Nat, I have to say though, Sammy Davis jr has yet to be equalled as an entertainer, many have been good dancers and singers but he was an 'above-average dancer', actor and singer AND he could do spot-on impersonations and he was funny as hell, no one equalled him then or since and this is coming from a die-hard Sinatra fan, Sinatra could sing and dance and will always have my heart but Sammy was the ultimate all-rounder! He had enviable talent, that a higher power put so much in a single living soul is deeply unfair, really!

Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by best vocalist outside opera. Does this mean that opera singers are just better than other genres. I don't think there is such a thing as best, it's a matter of taste, but if you want to talk about technical abilty(outside of opera if you like) Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald were untouchable, Ella's command of time, pitch and fluidity and Sarah's phenomenal vocal quality, range, ear and control the equal of anyone that ever sang. Nat was fabulous as he had a wonderful quality to his voice but was in no way a superior singer to the two ladies I mentioned.

One of the highlights of my career. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one wish, and I couldn’t have my wife with me, then it would have to be my Nat King Cole record collection and something to play it on. Thank you Nat for such beauty. Loved Sammy too. Superb professionals. No artificial intelligence needed.

Nat King Cole....I became a serious fan when I was about 14 years old. Stay As Sweet As You Are...I thought that song was the bomb....I was into disco, funk, rock, reggae, calypso, even liked country tunes but Nat, who died in 1965 even before I was born was the man. Also loved Sammy Davis Jnr. ....one of the most versatile, talented entertainers ever. As if being a great dancer and fantastic singer wasn't enough he could play the vibraphone, the piano and was a bad ass jazz drummer as well.

Absolutely. And there is very little of that to be found, unfortunately. It's very hard to make a living without singing. I'm thinking of Chet Atkins as just about the only acoustic guitar player who didn't sing, but that's bc he wasn't black, and was much better than anyone else at the time, and maybe still is. They also cancelled the show, even though it was the most viewed show on TV at the time and the quality was unmatched.
