Jerry Lewis & Sammy Davis Jr. - Move & Come Rain Or Come Shine | 1981 | MDA Telethon

[@JeffHogge-n1f]

Hasn't anybody (but me) noticed the most incredibly entertaining aspect of this video yet? Sammy said it within the first 4 seconds. "Jerry since we're on SPlIT -SCREEN"... Suddenly it hit me. There in 2 different cities... talking to AND "HEARING" each other AT THE SAME TIME! ... GET IT! It's 1981there, BEFORE the time of this "DDD" (DAMN DIGITAL DELAY) that were all forced to live with now, AND accept GRACIOUSLY. Hell... They're singing together in perfect synchrony! In 100% "ANALOGUE -AUDIO"! The same way we USED to be able to talk to each other on a telephone call... AND ENJOY IT! But CAN'T now so these damn "VoIP and Cell phone companies can make BILLIONS of dollars forcing us to be CONTENT with the $#/+ they hand us and say "BE HAPPY "! "Just forget the quality and comfort we all had with "The Bell Telephone System " that we just HAD to destroy because after all... A phone is"just a phone ". Who'll notice the difference. To all of you I say "YA SEE " damit! Now it's too late! REAL telephones are gone forever, and now we're stuck with this $#/+ . I'm going to SAVE this video specifically to show to these "YUPPY" little bastards that work in the communications industry now... And SAS me out everytime we have a conversation about "MY-TIME", and how back then you could watch a news correspondent at a news desk talking to a field reporter without the reporter standing there after being asked a question (looking like a damn IDIOT saying nothing back for 3 seconds waiting for a damn computer to stitch the audio back together before they can hear it! Well... That's my take on it. Oh yeah... Enjoyed seeing "Sammy and Jerry" alive again. Helps me forget the Hell we all have to live in today!

I watched the whole clip aside from the first few seconds and never realised that hahahaha

I totally agree 100%.

Sammy Davis Jr used to come all the way to my city, Perth, Western Australia, for our local telethon to raise money for the Children's Hospital. Very beautiful and humble man. We miss him every year.

You suddenly don't realize how great someone was until we loose them. We take them for granted because we have them and see them on television. And then all of a sudden you have time to think and reflect on the pass and then you realize how truly great they were. It seems like we don't have real people in America anymore because we don't have real entertainers anymore. Everything is all fake with the worst kind of debauchery you can ever imagine, and then they get paid millions to live in mansions with no talent compare to the real entertainers like Sammy Davis Jr.

Jerry Lewis telethon was a tradition every year for millions of Americans on labor day weekend which was usually the last day of summer vacation before school began. Good memories.

Yep. Good memories of the Jerry Lewis Telethon right before school started. There was less choices of programs, and anyone bug was featured on the telethon, which lead to it being a must watch.

Oh how my mind is flooded with such fond memories of.. Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr. together singing and being comedic is wonderful to be reminded of such happiness.. It's such a shame after how many years Jerry Lewis did the MDA telethons and they don't even have it any more.. not one bit after all of Jerry's hard work and love for his "Kids".. Sammy Davis Jr. on the other hand is Soo talented in so many different ways, he could sing anything.. he danced so smoothly and his acting was impeccable!! Jerry Lewis also was talented with his acting in movies and so many times I cried laughing.. Ah, memories!! Plus its something that the younger generation just don't have a clue about..
