Sammy Davis Jr Birth Of The Blues Reaction

[@scottbennett8819]

Sammy Davis Jr. is possibly the most talented entertainer ever. He could dance, act, do fabulous impressions, play the drums, play the vibes, and , by the way, he coluld sing a little, too.

[@RyanWitalison]

Not only a great actor, singer, and Dancer, he was also a fantastic impressionist and would often sing as other performers in his concerts, such as Tony Bennett, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, and even Frank Sinatra.

[@solitarybee3714]

MRM, I really hope you have some idea of just how people appreciate seeing you react to someone like Sammy Davis, Jr., who was enjoyed, loved and respected by so many fans decades ago. I am a (white) lady in my 70s and he was one of my absolute favorite performers, from back in the 50s until he passed from throat cancer in 1990. He could, of course, sing and dance like nobody else! But he also shared his great personality and persona with the public. Bravo for letting us see it once more.

[@andreaschmall5560]

It's not for no reason the he was known as "Mister Show Business".

[@patriciadowning4036]

Sammy was the best, powerful voice, soul, and crisp and clear and fearless.

[@brendapaddlety2413]

Sammy Davis was one of the best Entertainers around,he had style and what a voice 💚 👍

[@BarnicleBillable]

4:16 is Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. Prior to eithers Presidency. Someday people will understand how important, talented and groundbreaking he was.

[@achristinaportillo3548]

My favorite member of the rat pack. Mr. Sammy Davis jr

[@jimithy47]

He was a very talented singer, dancer, actor, comedian and more. He said he's colored, Jewish and Puerto Riican and none of his people accepted him. His talent was what he aspired to be; it's who he was. An entertainer that was also a man. It would be nice if we humans could be just people be it black, white, Puerto Rican, whatever and nothing bigoted or derogatory attached to it. We're just people. Another great reaction Ty!

[@thrummer1953]

" Here come da JUDGE, Here come da Judge"!

[@thrummer1953]

That is a line Sammy Davis used in a recurring gag, from a comedy variety show of the late 60's called "Rowen and Martins Laugh-in".

[@charleshonig7080]

Ty, Sammy Davis Jr. was "The Greatest Entertainer who Ever existed. He started singing and dancing with His Father and Uncle at age 3 in a trio that toured extensively. His career lasted over 60 years, (he passed away I think in the late 90'S), He could sing,dance,act, play many instruments, and conquered all the entertainment media available in his time. He also was a good and generous man. Sorely missed to this day. This video is from a Kennedy Center Awards Program.

[@waynegrieco9752]

May 16th 1990

[@Constance8722]

@charleshonig7080 You took every single word right out of my mouth!! The Greatest Entertainer who ever existed, and the world will never see another talent of his calibre.

[@colkidglen8802]

I was so fortunate to live thru the 1950's and 60's music.

[@christinelegate8137]

Sammy was the triple threat legendary all round entertainer. Check out his version of Mr Bojangles - the one where he is wearing a one piece brown suit-. He is also an amazing dancer. You’ll see where Michael Jackson got some of his moves.

[@MrDarkMagnus]

The man was THE MAN. I know he was always connected to Sinatra ( who I love) but Sammy could sing(duh) dance ( he is the nephew of the Nicholas Brothers ( who you freaked on in the Cab calloway vid), act, do impressions and he is criminally underrated.

[@blippacg]

Sammy did terrific impressions of other singers and entertainers. Look for one of those clips, he was amazing.

[@southernwanderer7912]

Sammy Davis Jr was a master. I grew up watching this guy on TV. He ended up as part of the Rat Pack, with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. A great singer and entertainer. He was also an impressionist of other singers and actors. He's another guy who started in Vaudeville, but he started out on stage when he was a child. He was an awesome tap dancer, too. By the way, he had a glass eye from losing an eye in an car accident. Hope you'll do something by Dean Martin soon.

[@dabdella1460]

Now that you are plugged in to Sammy Stay there and do my request I've been waiting on Mr Bojangles Please Dd

[@southernwanderer7912]

This is definitely my kind of music. I love the old music. These singers really had it going on.

[@billbohner4374]

This man was a phenomenal talent. Often overshadowed by the others in the Rat Pack. In recent years I have come to know and really appreciate his talent and contribution to his craft. He could dance, act, sing, and play several instruments. An ultimate entertainer.

[@deneenjeffries2768]

Sammy was simply a powerhouse 🎤

[@tiaelina1090]

I grew up watching movies with Sammy, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra in them. Sammy was so cool and embodied the blues, his voice was soo smooth. This had me tapping my foot and grooving to the rhythm. So cool, what a great pick Ty

[@roz7056]

This man was one of the best entertainers America has ever know he could sing, dance, do spot impressions, played any instrument he put his hands on and was a quick draw artist with Western 6 shooters. This man was awesome!!! Not to mention acting.

[@colkidglen8802]

I forgot how great Sammy's voice was. Also a great Entertaining.

[@dinodasbunce6224]

Talent of this level is very rare today.

[@robertr8386]

What you observed was the greatest entertainer that ever lived.there will never be another sammy davis jr.

[@grahamwright8175]

You need to watch him singing Old Man River.. to feel the drama of the song through that rich voice that only he has

[@bluesoulsession]

I have never heard or seen that before...my first time too...unbelievable...brilliant...gonna go buy this right now! 😎

[@davidfitnesstech]

LOVE ME SOME SAMMY! A CLASS ACT.

[@juliaperkins9962]

Sammy is great!!! He did this song when he was with the DAY PACK too. He can dance too ever since he was !jttle

[@jeanne2597]

Great review Sammy Davis jr As time goes by (live in Germany 1985) you can get a lot more of his many talents in a small package

[@margaretervin8895]

I love it when you do the head thing.

[@bobbyecrockett9032]

Always loved him better than Sinatra! Elvis and he were friends!!! He saw a ring Elvis was wearing and admired it. So Elvis took it off his finger and gave it to him! Sammy Davis,Jr. wore it until he died! He always laughed and said Elvis wore it on his little finger and he had to wear it on his ring finger!!! By the way you do a lot for that blue shirt!!!

[@jimearnest4342]

Love that big band sound! Sammy Davis was so versatile,he don't get near the recognition he deserves....I don't know how many people know this but, Sammy was a quick draw artist,he won fasten gun in the world back in the 60s.

[@cynthianavarro4316]

A great song, a great band, and Sammy Davis Jr. Doesn't get any better than that! He could sing, tap, act, play the drums and do impressions. MR. Entertainment! (He also was a photographer and worked as an assistant to Bunny Yeager, the lady who took many iconic photos of Bettie Page!)

[@RedBud315]

I have yet to see a channel do a Sammy Davis Jr reaction where the host didn't have a smile on their face the whole time. I can never watch a Sammy video without smiling for sure.

[@brendapaddlety2413]

Love the hair tug Ty 💚👍

[@Bandit77TA]

That was awesome. The music was right on too.

[@kaafromoz]

The Late GREAT Sammy Davis Jr..What a fantastic entertainer he was..out of the so Called "Ratpack with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra" Sammy was the Greatest of them all!!..Pure God Given Talent. He owned any stage or theatre he showed up in RIP Sammy..Keep Well Keep Strong

[@frankscarborough1428]

Thank you loved it

[@richardw4336]

I had never seen this performance but I'm so glad I have now.

[@ladyspeed18]

That was awesome!! music I grew up on!!

[@maryspaabeck2074]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! MR ENTERTAINMENT HIMSELF! MISS SAMMY WHEN HE GOT GOING HE BLEW SINATRA OUT OF THE WATER! MISS HIM!

[@MrHowie18]

Number 1 entertainer of all time!

[@beefonweckeastside3323]

A complete creation of a man

[@patriciadowning4036]

There is a live video of Sammy Davis, Jr. imitating Michael Jackson's "I'm Bad." He was a great friend of Michael's.

[@brendapaddlety2413]

Mr. Candy Man Sammy Davis Jr. 💚👍😁 WOW! the audience was entranced by him 😊

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

Sammy Davis Jr was most famous for The Candy man

[@andreaschmall5560]

No..that was very late in his long and illustrious career. "What Kind of Fool Am I?" was a huge hit...kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXvKaKp8fbyLipY and "Mr. Bojangles" was a tremendous hit kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3fNpmeLls9_bck

[@cynthianavarro4316]

What Kind of Fool Am I is his signature song!

[@cherrymcgregor535]

I loved him in sweet charity

[@BrummieGal]

Mr Bogangles.Bang Bang(Robin and the 7 hoods..my favourite ..plus gunslinging routine ....

[@jucadvgv3449]

absolutely loved that song growing up

[@BBBYpsi]

Sammy Davis jr. Singing Old Man River he's in a white shirt is the most powerful version of that song I have ever seen. Another good one to react would be Danny Kaye and Louis Armstrong singing when the saints come marching in.

[@maryspaabeck2074]

React to Sammy Davis singing what kind of fool am I please! ITS FANTASTIC!!!!

[@nhallett1]

I really like this I know who Sammy Davis but have never heard this song. I know him and Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra were the Rat Pack.

[@frankscarborough1428]

He was so talented and that was president Reagan and Vice President Ford. Watching agaîn loved your reaction

[@RoryVanucchi]

Multi talented.. Videos of him tap dancing as a young kid in the 30s.. Long career

[@roz7056]

I grew up watching him on TV. On variety shows and movies Robin and the seven hoods was my favorite of the Rat pack movies. This man knew happiness and pain he was severely beaten while in the army by racist and so much more good and bad.

[@sherrymonfils9342]

The best entertainer of all...my opinion

[@bluetopguitar1104]

The real deal. Saw a lot of his stuff growing up. My parents generation. Multitalented

[@_Lisa_S_]

Sammy = Legend

[@timothyteater4868]

You ought to check out Jessy Dixon who is dead now singing "I saw the Light" in a live performance in Memphis, Tennessee. Jessy was a great gospel singer of the same genre of Sammy Davis Jr.

[@325diane]

No one more talented...ever.

[@janeofthefamilytaylor7242]

Love Sammy ! He was a legend ❤️

[@kickahaw]

Sammy was the real deal

[@russlambert7020]

I'm late to the party; I just came across this video. I grew up watching Sammy Davis Jr. Along with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, they practically owned Las Vegas. I don't believe Sammy Davis was the greatest singer who ever lived, or the greatest dancer, or the greatest actor who ever lived. But when you combine all of that into one man, he was the greatest. I don't know who would be the second greatest, but it wouldn't even be close.

[@thomasmullins5418]

You have to check Sammy Davis and the rat pack, Frank, Sammy, and Dean, when they do birth of the blues, they were really tight!!!

[@southernwanderer7912]

Wow, Reagan and Ford in the audience. Old actor-turned-president Reagan. You know Reagan appreciated Sammy Davis Jr. That was Reagan's era as well, though Reagan was a B actor.

[@SuperPlacido1]

Great song! Frist time I listening to this song! My request is Rock This Town By Straits Cats. If you like Elvis you will like this!

[@southernwanderer7912]

Definitely the Stray Cats. That band was awesome. I love "The Stay Cat Strut."

[@Keydjes]

Love Sammy, my fave is Mr Bojangles

[@bobsteinzig]

Old Man River will floor ya

[@jonpappaj-son3071]

I just saw you react to Gary Moore, Still got the blues. Try Walter Trout playing Brother's Keeper

[@autumnamber6849]

He is a legend and part of the rat pack.

[@aprilradovic1356]

will try again, could you please do this song (here comes the judge),it was sang bi Sammy and it was a fun song

[@lnl3237]

He left it all on the stage. Remember when he kissed Archie Bunker?!!!

[@RoryVanucchi]

Funny also.. Watch him with Artie Johnson on Laugh-In or all in the Family.

[@risag1274]

You should react to Sammy Davis Jr singing Michael Jacksons Bad

[@johnnybarstow8950]

You have to play and react to the candy man by Sammy Davis Jr.

[@ellenjones7819]

It's okay, I prefer to see him when he was dancing and singing.

[@aussiephotographer]

Hello there new subscriber and love your channel. If you have time I was wondering if you could take a listen to my favorite musician Xavier Rudd and his song Full Circle. It is a long song and my favorite song, but Xavier is a true inspiration to so many with his message of injustice, peace and love around the world including Australia where both he and I originate from. Thank you for your time. Take care. -Paul

[@helgar791]

Better stuff is Sammy doing definitive versions of "I Gotta Be Me" and "What Kind Of Fool Am I".

[@kathleenlock8963]

Dean Martin once said, that of all the Rat Pack, Sammy was the only real singer.

[@ronaldstokes4841]

A Black Jew with one eye and a White wife... Talent overcame all the naysayers in those days.

[@bappppp]

You should review Homesick by the Marcus King band

[@kandacenoelle5265]

Please do Johnny Cash and the Man in Black.

[@russellmorgan5611]

A lost genre. A few seasoned performers from later generations have tried to interpret the Great American Songbook, stars like SDJr.and his ilk were untouchable.

[@natashastarkie3723]

Please react to demi lovato stone cold its amazing song what shows off her vocals

[@caralayne503]

Love me some Sammy! The fact he was one of the coolest of the Rat Pack (Im from NY/NJ, Sinatra is a God to us), he is super talented & truly broke some barriers before it had been done... bless his soul!!

[@caralayne503]

Mainecoonlady ha! As much as I do like Bruce, he was never my favourite, which is a sacrilege, you’re exactly right. He actually was my neighbour, I’m originally from Colts Neck & i got thrown out of the same catholic school in Freehold he did before I went to a diff grade school to complete that before HS lol. He is the nicest guy, we had competing Super Bowl parties annually (my dad & he), & shopped at that same Italian salumeria even, he has great taste in food, but to me, Frank will ALWAYS be the Chairman having been born in NJ (Hoboken) & Bon Jovi is MY Jersey hero... Billy Joel for NYC to me 🙂😬...

[@caralayne503]

Mainecoonlady i totally hear you! Bruce is def a relatable man to so many people 🙂. Ive seen him 5 times now, & was lucky enough to in Jersey @ Giants stadium, so if you think his concerts are legendary, you should his hometown crowd.. his shows all ran way over 4/5 hours, no one could get enough! He is so loved! I saw his kennedy center honours induction, it was great indeed .. I think he is a little too liberal for me, Im not a full blown conservative, but i dont particularly like many performers politics overall... that said, he is for the underdog & working class, which i completely respect! 🖤
