If I Never Sing Another Song - Sammy Davis Jr.

[@JaniceCarter-ws7lu]

Sammy⚘️..😌

[@MerceditaMallari535]

When songs of yesterday are having real messages and no auto tunes❤

[@ShlomoEden]

Written by the Austrian Singer Udo Jürgens. First offered to Frank Sinatra who turned it down. Big hit for Matt Monro and one of the greatest hits in Japan.

[@LordOfTheBored]

Why does Sammy then thank a Mr. Black or so for composing that song at the beginning of his performance?

[@nicocolt6652]

@@LordOfTheBored Don Black was Matt Munro's manager. He wrote the English lyrics.

[@andreichivu7653]

RIP Udo,Sammy,Frank & Matt

[@carolgoldfinger6381]

A wonderful song sung by one of the greats. Sammy was the best of his generation.

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

Alexandra ("Illusionen") will always be the best version for me. ❤

Sammy Davis Jr. His song's are the theme of my entire life. His voice takes me home and to a much better place. I was young, I was lucky enough to see him live....What an experience... I listen to Sammy, to feel my heart, my memories. He was 1 in a million.

[@jeribuckner3481]

Leslie Watson Sammy was absolutely brilliant amazing talent. I'm reading his biography right now. The abuse, the hatred and discrimination he endured tears my heart to pieces. Like anyone else he wanted to be treated with dignity and respect. Leslie I will never understand how a person could hate someone they never met.

[@lesliewatson8133]

@@jeribuckner3481 I wish that part of people's thinking could change. It causes me great disappointment that all these year's later. People still have to fight for their place in our country. When can we find that place, can we ever respect each other as human beings? Discrimination is unexceptable. It hurts everyone. We need to grow as people. Except our differences and move on together.

[@jeribuckner3481]

@@lesliewatson8133 Leslie I like the lyrics to Michael Jackson's song "The Man In The Mirror" We all have to do our part...Each One teach One. Enjoy this holiday season.

[@lesliewatson8133]

@@jeribuckner3481 I loved Michael Jackson. We we're born the same year and about 10 day's apart. People wanted to believe that ugliness that was reported about him. I thought. I am a Virgo, we feel everything with our heart's first. The song's he sang. He to me was a soft soul with a huge heart. He was gone way too soon.. When your that famous, I could not begin to imagine the isolation he lived... Performer's get millions, overall I think the price is too high... Yes Man in the Mirror touched me deeply...

What a great voice, love Sammy Davis since I was a little Kid (started with Candyman Song 😍) Rest in Peace wonderful Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. we will never forget you 🙏🥀

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know too much about Sammy , I’m now discovering what an incredible singer he was . Passion , emotion & incredible vocals . I’m now a huge if belated fan of his .

[@barbaraboyd3967]

I LOVE YOU Sammy...Thanks for the memories.

[@sigmarpuchert3768]

The composer is Udo Jürgens, the German version is "Illusionen" and was written for the German singer Alexandra, who died 1969. English lyrics are written by Don Black.

[@ihno45]

For years I thought that Paul Anka wrote "My way", till I found the original frech version. :D Thank goodness that Udo Jürgens is remembered for many other songs as well, so no harm done. :D

[@clannad99germany70]

@@ihno45 Indeed ! This occurs often in pop, music biz.

[@jurtifabio668]

It’s a typical Udo Jürgens tune…. And Davis is doing it beautifully

Shirley Bassey version totally awesome remember her doing often in 70's concerts, love this Sammy Davis version they each make Matt Monro classic their own, great song...

[@stevebrookstein]

I find myself coming back to video again and again. Sammy is one of my favourite singers. A singers singer. From the soul every time. Thanks for sharing x

[@sonienuswantara]

I'm such an old soul...this kind of music n especially this song by Sammy always comporting me everytime I listen to it.Thank you 😘🙏

Amazing Mr Sammy!

[@DavidWilson-ix9rn]

The wham of Sam. Wonderful voice.

[@TheBrandonHazel]

You know you're the man when you can just turn around and direct your own 20 piece band and the song sounds so damn good it should be on the album.

[@Julie-le9fx]

Amazing voice, rest his soul!

[@cesaracebedo1595]

OMG!!! ONE of the BEST!!!

[@artyasiswanty6449]

Beautiful voice.... ❤

[@michellepriore5610]

No other singer can hold a candle to Sammy. What a perfect song for what he was put through in his life. We not only know his name we still love him and his voice. He deserved so much more respect from the entertainment world and his so called friends. He is a truly the greatest singer of all time Just listen to the smoothness and power of his voice and try to find someone else who can up him, you can't. Phenomenal singer, entertainer, actor and all around person.

[@marion3386]

Sammy and Frank love Matt and would always be so gracious to say he was thee most amazing singer! ❤❤

[@RedBud315]

You Tube is amazing. Every time I think I've seen all the Sammy stuff I see something I've never seen or even heard before. Sammy gave it all from the very beginning to the end. He should almost have his own holiday because he definitely broke the barriers for so many to follow in his foot steps. You ever notice how he always acknowledges his band or orchestra members or fellow artist who provided him with the songs he sings? He never took anything for granted and appreciated all the love his fans gave him. Hell, we still give him love as you can tell by all the comments. He entertained for the sake of bringing people together and not so much the money. Sure he used his money to live an extraordinary lifestyle but, gave so much of it back to those who needed. Todays artists, not so much the same characters.

[@paulmckenzie6039]

Sammy’s comment on Matt’s height reminded me of when my dad randomly walked into my room and started talking about Monro, he mentioned that he was a kind person and was very short

[@patrickbalanzat8207]

In my heyday, young girls wrote to me Everybody seemed to have time to devote to me Everyone I saw all swore they knew me Once upon a song Main attraction, couldn't buy a seat The celebrity, celebrities were dying to meet I've had every accolade bestowed on me And so you see If I never sing another song It shouldn't bother me I've had my share of fame You know my name If I never sing another song Or take another bow I would get by But I'm not sure how Always posing, but you love it all Though you have to learn to act like you're above it all Everything I did, the world applauded Once upon a star Framed citations, hung on every wall Got a scrapbook full of quotes I can't recall at all There were times I felt the world belonged to me And so you see If I never sing another song It shouldn't bother me I've had my share of fame You know my name If I never sing another song Or take another bow I would get by But I'm not sure how La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la La-la-la-la-la, la-la La-la-la-la, la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la

Ein Song von Udo Jürgens.

[@lobsterludwig]

Der großartige Sammy Davis Jr. gibt hier als Composer Don Black an, das ist nicht richtig: Das Original "Illusionen" ist von UDO JÜRGENS und wurde von Alexandra gesungen. Don Black hat den schönen englischen Text zusammen mit Udo Jürgens beigesteuert.

One of the best interpretations of "If I Never Sing Another Song." Sammy just carries you away with his soaring, full-of-hope, chorus part of the song and I love his despondently Hebraic conclusion. I posted Englebert Humperdinck performing it about a month ago, enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3i1YmmNer2Zask

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Ok...but the recently passed English comedian Joe Longthorne sings it in a different league.

I agree Joe was fighting leukaemia and hid power was extraordinary
