My Grandfather Will Mastin was a great Vaudeville Dancer that I miss so much I remember when we were kids. He was the best grandfather 💙❣️💕

[@tanakaafrica8218]

Wow! Are u able to upload more pics of your grandfather as a young man even before Sammy and any video that may be in your archives?

[@SA_SovereigntyForPatriots]

Oh my word, your uncle was an incredible force of talent, business and love. So happy for you and your blessed family.👏💯

I can’t stop rewinding 2:49.... so good!!

[@AccordionJoe1]

As if his dancing weren't enough, Sammy sang, acted, played drums and vibraphones. Oh yes, he also was a great impersonator of movie stars and other famous people. Some people excel in one pursuit. Sammy excelled in everything he tried.

Sammy Davis, Jr you are surely missed.

[@ShakesTheClown46]

Nothing new under the sun. Sammy took what came before him and made it his own, others took from Sammy and made it theirs. It’s how the world keeps turning.

Legend🙌🏾

[@myklmusic]

I remember a Show remembering Sammy where Gregory Hines kneeled and kissed Sammy's shoes out of respect. Much respect to the Artists of that time.
