Incredible performer and human being. The world needs more people like Mr. Davis.

His phrasing, his musicality....incredible. This is an excerpt from a "Rat Pack" fundraiser show that aired live on my birthday, June 20, 1965. Sammy was a multi-instrumentalist, an incredible dancer, an incredible singer and so much more. He was a child prodigy. He was Sammy....in my estimation, one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century and beyond. He is truly a legend.

Sammy is not "one of" but definitely THE Greatest Entertainer of All Time. God surely did a good job of breaking his mold after he was born because nobody has yet come close to matching the many talents of this great artist. Just my 2 cents.
