'S Wonderful - Sammy Davis Jr. with Ella Fitzgerald

Here is Sammy singing with Ella Fitzgerald on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, supposedly it is the first time they ever sang together.

[@michaelmorgan9876]

Love that Sammy seemed so genuinely thrilled to perform with Ella!! I love these two, who were performed when there was real talent!!

[@Luizzzz450]

she is a great lady ... like the music ... Ella is wonderful ....

[@Bw12334]

Ella stating that Sammy Davis Jr. was "T-A-L-E-N-T" at the beginning of this video really says something about how incredible Sammy truly was.

[@MrRodBelt]

Two of the greatest icons of American music: Sammy and Ella! Oh how I wish they had more performances together. 🥰

[@tonyh4257]

Watching and listening to this just lifts my spirit. Ella and Sammy - what a delight.

[@mrg7407]

Ed Was A Visionary. He could see the future, IMO. You can tell by his comments

[@richardgornalle4536]

It is a wonderful thrill to experience this clip. Sammy is terrific, Ella is sublime.

[@poullax]

This must be one of the ten best jams live in tv ever

[@michaelwoodward9894]

Being there is the only thing that top that

2021 watching

[@rodneyallen9874]

When Sammy added that "Yeeeeeeeeeessss!!!" at the end of the tune, the audience applause had swelled to a higher degree of satisfactory approval! 👏👏👏👌👍 FYI: That wonderful ending was a big surprise out of the blue for the audience and people at home watching, & Sammy had never rehearsed that part of the tune! There you have it! DY-NO-MIIIIIIITE!!!

Ellos han enriquecido la música Norteamericana sino de donde surgió el rock and roll (de que fuentes vino esa música) que hizo famoso al Sr. Elvis Presley

I remember this episode of Ed's when I was 15 years old and I fell in love with both Ella and Sammy. I've seen them both live, Sammy on Broadway and Ella at Dangerfield's in NYC. I miss this kind of talent. These kids today can't touch this. Rap is all they know and everybody sounds the same.

[@Afrocentricpoet]

2 of the best ever. No drama just pure singing.

[@rosss1959]

If not for the DECADES CHANNEL bringing the Ed Sullivan show back on television, I wouldn't have seen this great performance.

[@1mespud]

This is definitely one of the greatest videos on KZbin!

[@kevinfitzmaurice4072]

This aired Feb. 2, 1964--a week before The Beatles' first Sullivan appearance. But I consider this one of the finest and most signifiant moments in the show's 23-year run.

[@marilynmichaels8358]

greatness forever

[@Fannyyyyy_]

They are literally sooooo cuteeee😍😍😍

[@Ms.Delphine1204]

Just caught this on Decades rerun of Ed Sullivan and had to come find it here. Beautiful sweet duet 💙😍🥰

[@syneathiabell1350]

These two are Wonderful and Marvelous singing together 💗..I love me some Sammy. I listen to him everyday🌼

[@pattigee1]

Sublime. Appreciation Ed's heartfelt acknowledgement at the end.

[@michaelwoodward9894]

That's wonderfully done by great ones

[@Ms.Delphine1204]

This cut Sammys verse before they started scatting though. He was so excited when he got the idea that they’d both scat 8 bars each.

[@4711bella]

It's beautiful,it's wonderful and marvelous 😍😆

[@kona702]

What a classy duo!!! Love them!!

February 2, 1964: The Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan the next week. This performance is truly classic.

@@michaelwoodward9894 no I doubt it , Sammy paid his dues defining his craft and talent , it was a much different experience and time back then and will never be duplicated again . Just like the movie studio system of the past.

2/2/64: What many people considered to be the greatest moment on the Ed Sullivan show up to that time. However, "that time" only lasted a week. For on the very next show......

[@poulakisalexandros1582]

Probably the best jamming on TV broadcast ever!

[@ellalena1873]

The three greatest female singers of all time...Ella Fitzgerald three times

[@willdrucker4291]

“Be sure to tune in next Sunday night when Ed’s guests are Mitzi McCall, Frank Gorshin, the cast from the Broadway hit, “Oliver”, and some from England called THE BEATLES”

Ella....instantly recognisable voice.....she always came across as being a bit shy ....one of the truly great singing voices.

[@janedow1319]

NOTE: Listen to "Basella" with Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald and also Ella's rendition of "What's Going On," Marvin Gaye's classic. AWESOME!!!!

It would have been better had the unedited version was used as apposed to the clip from Sammy's documentary.

Real talent from two legends 😀

Always was a fan of Gershwin songs, and these two sing them awesomely.

Sammy Davis, jr. An all-time great performer. He is sitting there admiring Ella. And he is looking at her like "How in the heck does she do that"? When you can make soneone as great as Sammy look at you like that....I mean wow.
