Sammy Davis Jr. Impersonations - Because of You

[@marvinmuonekejazz]

The singularly most talented person who ever lived!! Sammy Davis Jr!!

[@gfine2000]

During the days when you could see and feel that talent was truly real. Sammy was absolutely, unequivocally, extraordinarily, magnificently undeniably talented. I just love it!

[@XxXxTwofirstnames69420xXxXx]

That was the greatest Jerry Lewis impression I've ever seen!

[@Katiedid93]

He was really the only one who ever could nail it. Mostly because they were close and he was an excellent mimic.

[@maggidon90]

No doubt!

[@aristology6912]

Heard

[@XxXxTwofirstnames69420xXxXx]

@@aristology6912 he did his mannerisms, too, you pile of shit. Imbecile. You should be ashamed of yourself. You deserve spit on You filthy bastard. Reevaluate your life. Disgusting.

[@torrebrannon8180]

Sammy to this very day, has no peer! He is in my estimation, simply stated, the greatest all around entertainer that ever lived. He could sing, dance, act, impersonate, was a great comedian, could work a gun, played multiple instruments including piana, trumpet, drums & vibes, and was a great television host & theatrical, live stage actor, etc! He is the greatest!

[@cherylfroude9365]

I agree

[@mauricedevoul]

AMEN!

[@carlychoc]

Perfectly said

[@andyhaslam9231]

What a truly talented guy he was.Sad to say we do not have singers of his calibre anymore. Just brilliant

[@rudolftrost3534]

Pure natural genius! They don't make 'm like Sammy anymore...

[@opinionatorX]

Rudolf Trost Rhianna, Beyonce is better. LOL!

[@opinionatorX]

Rudolf Trost Rhianna, Beyonce is better. LOL!

[@rudolftrost3534]

I would like to remove my name from the trollish comment made by Opinionator X. This person clearly lives under a bridge (where he or she belongs).

[@opinionatorX]

Rudolf Trost I was being funny. I know better than that 👍

[@rudolftrost3534]

It sounded that way, but my well-meant comments ave been under serious troll-attacks as of lately. And I'm not one to give in to such people. I should have known that nobody can be serious and compare Sammy with Beyonce. Sorry for the remark about the bridge, but in MY OPINION that's where trolls should live, sheltered from the rest of the world.

[@1mespud]

Today December 8, would have been Sammy's 90th Birthday! I for one would like to thank his once presence for help taming mankind with his gift and talent. When he left, he took showbiz with him.

[@yellinarthur5107]

When Sammy sings I cry every single time if we only had Entertainment like this today, how much more beautiful would the world be? If not for our African American talent this country and world would be asleep and forget the word talent. the most beautiful array of talent ever put together on one planet. I would give my right arm to go back to the 500 club and spend an evening with Sammy Davis Jr and the Rat Pack. those who have never had the joy of listening to good clean brilliant talent must listen to the above before they leave the earth and hope when they do they are all up there entertaining us. you don't have to be my age to enjoy real solid talent.

[@antoniodelrio357]

I agree with you 100 %. born in 88 but would give everything to see and experience life as it once was back then. may the rat pack R.I.P.

[@yellinarthur5107]

I only wish more people would just listen to the Talent that was "Born" and entertained us by so many African Americans such as Sammy.Davis Jr. Clean ,Beautiful entertainment. How I wish we could bring them back and let the Millennials see what real enjoyment feels like! RIP Sammy and "ALL!!!"

[@box5bastard277]

don't leave out the racial barriers though, keep it networth. can't just take the good and leave out the facts. that man was great (my idol even and I'm a younger guy) but the horrors that he went through were fucked up yell

[@awarren92]

His Billy Eckstine was AMAZING!

[@stevencruz3977]

One of the greatest entertainers that ever grace the Television screen. He was magnificent. God Bless Sammy Davis Jr.

[@guidingmike2823]

It almost hurts to see how hard Sammy Davis had to work and how talented he had to be to make it in those days. Imagine that talent in todays world.

[@alexsmuckler8707]

The greatest of the great. Sammy Davis Jr had no equal in show business. He left us much to soon. RIP Sammy.

[@Blood0cean]

holy shit that jerry lewis impersonation, i dont think anyone can do it that well.

[@Katiedid93]

He often used it without context later on. He was really the only one who really could.

[@maggidon90]

My words! ❤️

[@kirby19711]

Simply one of the GREATEST all around performing artists in history!

[@laurenlewis7]

when I think about what we consider talent now - and then I look a this..Wow....#TrueLegend

[@pechever2804]

lauren lewis 0

[@quinto]

Sooooo much talent, it is scary. Sammy like Bobby Darin could do so much. Both could do great impressions as well as sing and act. Bobby could play tons of different instruments and wrote many songs even though he couldn't read music. Sammy was a great dancer with tons of energy ! We just don't have entertainers like that anymore.

[@kpflo123]

Absolutely amazing! When he appeared on Broadway as "Mr. Wonderful," Sammy delighted audiences and cast members as well by never repeating a performance with one similar. Man ... I'd have given anything to have seen him on that stage!

[@lindafurman6288]

Oh my gosh - we had this record when I was about 5. In my little kid brain I decided that Sammy Davis Jr. and Jerry Lewis were the same person. Thank you so much for sharing this video!

[@zackrome6983]

that jerry Lewis impression was perfect!

[@ollarik]

He was the first fullfledged entertainer - and I fear the last. He perfected his art and set the standard, to which noone I'm afraid will quite reach.

[@hispanicfart]

Hahaha great Jerry Lewis impression

[@jimspencer5837]

Jim Spencer. I first heard this great talent in 1956 in a16mm. open ai film theatre whilst serving in the army in cyprus. I have only just found it on u tube .Thanks for the Memories.The played it before every performance.

[@GinaBlythe]

Laughed SO HARD at this! Wish we had talent like this again!

[@TheKalamazoo]

He really was a very talented entertainer.

[@jeffboyardee069]

Sammy has more talent in one finger than all of the singers today combined. I have goose-bumps watching this video.

[@GregoriousGregori9]

We seriously need Entertainers like this again.. celebrities have absolutely nothing on the entertainers of the past. The man could do everything.

[@authoradammient]

Such a wonderful and talented entertainer. The man could do it all. Thank you Mr. Davis.

[@MorrisB3]

Seen this a dozen times and it always makes me smile.

[@gallantguns]

He was the best entertainer there will ever be! A true gift from God,...R.I.P. Sammy Davis Jr.

[@rmoraespinto]

I kept listening to this recording when I was a kid. I loved it so much that I burned the LP! Thank you so much for posting this -- a rare joy!

[@DihelsonMendonca]

*SAMMY DAVIS JR - THE GREATEST TALENT WHO EVER LIVED*

[@jimmeskimen]

A model impressionist, singer and performer. Still impressive, all these years later.

[@waynejones3870]

A legend of entertainment. So sad there is no talent like that today.

[@itzhakmishaeli719]

I can smile just because of you.... Thank you for ever and never to part

[@joelweisberg]

Absolutely. What couldn't he do. Sing, act, dance, make us laugh, cry and more. We won't see his kind again in this life. RIP Samala.

[@DeeDragoon]

Brilliant performance!

[@tedhobgood]

Many people know Sammy Davis as a straight singer or maybe from his comedy appearances in movies like Cannonball Run, but he was so much more! SO many talents all in one man! I remember reading his autobiography and being amazed at the discovery that he had a part of his act where he spun pistols, and how much he loved that. When I read about him doing impersonations, I thought "yeah, he's probably a pretty ok impersonator for a singer," but watching this, I can see he's AMAZING. Dead on!

[@jerryj920]

Throwback Thursday: Sammy Davis Jr. Thank you and God bless. RIP Genius. Thanks for the upload, trumpetboy1955. Blessings

[@cuppajoe1]

Sammy was the entertainer's entertainer. Simply brilliant and always made it look so easy.

[@Classicgirl52]

Sammy always does the best impersonations! They were all spot on! :D

[@maggidon90]

One of the best impersonations of the young Jerry Lewis!!!

[@itzhakmishaeli719]

The greatest artist of all.times. An angel...

[@absoftitanium]

He was AMAZING!

[@sixstrings1490]

His "Colt 45" stunts were amazing, and just added to iSammy's world of Vocals, Impressions, Dancing and acting. " inimitable" best describes his talent. 🎵 Never have I seen better. Love ya Sammy. My Folks had the original record of the impressions, but seeing him alive in video blew me away.

[@Jonanny1]

I love Sammy Davis Jnr, the best entertainer in the world, ever

[@Jay_Kay_Redpill]

Pure genius .... We have nothing close to this today, it's a big shame

[@wddub9075]

Crazy good, packed into a 5’5” body

[@earthlove6908]

He was a GEM!!! 💎

[@mickelnewton846]

Sammie was phenomenal, however it appears that he mainly catered to the white market. unfortunately many of the young black generation has never heard of Sammie. anyway he was tremendously talented. it only shows that an individual can achieve anything he desires in America if he only believes and have faith in himself, and have faith in our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST. Amen !

[@box5bastard277]

huh? smh you Mr Newton are extra! yell

[@blvdjewel2549]

Mickel Newton He did what he could given the times he lived in. Let's not forget he was a present figure in and financial contributor to the Civil Rights movement.

[@pinball1970]

This guy could do anything and I mean ANYTHING. Real talent, genius.

[@lestercanal4758]

2022 still enjoying anybody else

[@TheMusicalJourneys]

Sammy was great at everything, and probably worked hard to be as a survival mechanism back in the day. I've always loved him. It's funny that his best impression was Jerry Lewis, his partner Dean's ex partner. That was spot on! Maybe even better than the actual Lewis lol.

[@zykamania2952]

Bravo.. Ah ah ah.;!! what a voice.. thanks

[@mrartboy1]

Fantastic talent !!!

[@stevencruz5113]

now that was talent not the crap they have today.Sammy you were one if not the greatest entertainers in the world thank you and may god bless you.

[@50sVintage]

Brilliant.

[@RockySunshin8]

I love the Jerry Lewis Impression!! Thanks for uplaoding!

[@bobbrawley4466]

I never thought much of S Davis Jr. till I saw him on these KZbin clipss

[@Gthesofine]

He was just amazing.

[@alexandrocastrodossantos7953]

Era um showman

[@AngelaSzekeres]

I agree, the jerry lewis one was perfect :)

[@510Mrniceguy]

phenomenal!!

[@CountofBeretania]

He was a brilliant mimic in addition to being a great singer and dancer.

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

I miss the days of no auto tune.... back when the biggest stars were actually talented!

[@DeathToBreakfast10]

... and the humor was glorious.

[@chrispy9736]

Sammy lived a good life. So much talent, and he had the best looking women back then, he could've had Marilyn

[@box5bastard277]

he did have a fling with her yell

[@bunnymize]

elegance, wit and pure sexiness and virility - Sammy

[@JEFFYjackass]

Gave me some chills with Jerry Lewis!

[@lordcron]

Love Sammy to the moon and back!

[@mick62mick]

Effortlessly excellent!

[@bobbysoxer97]

Talent oozed from his very being. His imitation of Jimmy is almost freaky!

[@philiphalpenny9761]

Which Jimmy? Cagney or Stewart?

[@binaway]

Jimmy Cagney was a song and dance man. The film 'Yankee Doodle Dandy" was just one example

[@1mespud]

Yes, it's true. Sammy was the greatest entertainer ever in any era. Even the gods and owners of all show business know this. He had to work harder because he was black, short of stature and in the era of Jim Crow. As a production insider, they only hire and cast people that can do it all.

[@gfine2000]

Extraordinarily Extraordinaire!!

[@12sisters1bride7]

He did impersonations too!?!that was the cat's meow,the cat's pajamas.

[@Dreama40]

What can you say about that, i mean geeeeeeeez thats talent folks, 100% talent. what a man he was.

[@deboraalhanati2776]

A great showman!

[@clarehorvath168]

This man was absolutely brilliant in all areas of entertainment a true genius

[@guusbruin8865]

love the impressions of James Steward en Jerry Lewis

[@NancysTreasures]

Pure Genius!!!!

[@deboraalhanati2776]

Sammy: I miss you !!!

[@fredsalfa]

Absolute Legend

[@MarkDrummond_Guitarist]

Greatest Entertainer EVER!!

[@datmeme8967]

GOAT

[@dougobrien4877]

Sammy was indeed great. What’s really sad is that black entertainers of this era couldn’t eat in the hotel dining rooms or sleep overnight n the hotels they performed in.

[@eulaharris3558]

A Superstar was Sammy Davis Jr.

[@joaquimbarros5218]

VI FILM COM ESTE FAMOUSO ARTISTA DO SEU TEMPO QUE HOJE RECORD A FELECIDADE E BOA DESPOSICAO .

[@petermlouis]

i came to find out about vaughn monroe and listen to him through sammy's impersonations of him lol.

[@ilpinza1989]

Jerry lewis was spot on!

[@JEFFYjackass]

Thanks to my grandpa introducing me to The Nutty Professor by Jerry Lewis and then youtube me looking up rat pack and all the great oldies!

[@YusefAliHarris]

AWESOME!!!!!

[@JDKnight65]

One of the best ever in the world.

[@hardballget]

Undisputed Champion of Champions.

[@OpusKingOfficial]

Why do we not revere sammy as much as Sinatra and Crosby? This man was killer

[@snuffysmif9801]

This was before he lost his left eye. And arguably only second to Leonardo Da-vinci, as the most naturally gifted man in history!

[@michaeljackson4538]

nope he better then Leonardo Da-vinci,

[@DAVIDKIDANE]

The best of the best cream of the crop.

[@JamieLandHolmes1996]

The Jerry Lewis impression got me in bits LOL

[@death7800]

too awesome

[@pamiam7511]

Brilliant

[@Aelitaneihausen]

Super!

[@GReYSTOKE2012]

Best entertainer ever? Okay who then?
