Sammy Davis Jr. had a career resurgence of sorts in the 1980s. He got off of drugs, stopped drinking and straightened his life out, and as a result his live shows became his best since the 1960s! His energy increased, and his voice became the best it had ever been, especially towards the end.
In this video, I've compiled 2 hours worth of my favorite performances from my archives of 80s Sammy concerts to share with you all. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.
