Imagine it’s 1969 Germany and your friend says he’s got an extra ticket to a concert so you go and it’s this

[@trishferris7355]

Sammy's version is my favorite.

[@sylviacooper9537]

This man had so much CHARISMA! We miss him.

[@jeffdawson2786]

Masterful.

[@tonyocch1]

THEY DON`T MAKE TALENT LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!

[@fredmFB]

They do not make them like this anymore

[@lindafisher2447]

Just magic. Wonderful guy . Love you Sammy

[@user-fe6bp9qq6b]

One of the greatest performance performances anyone has ever done… he sang with his soul!!!

[@wendellbatts2477]

It's insane to say this, but I'm actually beginning to think Sammy was an even better vocalist than he was ever a dancer.

[@richmedrano6679]

I agree! He was an amazing vocalist and musician. He could play a lot if different instruments proficiently. So much in awe of his talent!

[@yug08]

I’m with you. And saying an awful lot!

[@theresapellicano402]

I know what you mean!

[@juanmonge8]

A lot of his early stuff was done in nightclubs in the 40’s and 50’s, where he paid his dues. Because of his smoking we probably didn’t see him in his prime.

[@jacquieedwards8218]

Sammy knew we here on earth were hurting and missing him, so he sent us Bruno Mars as a substitute till we meet again. Thanks Sammy. Jesus is Love

[@eugenegrewing2587]

He didn’t get enough credit. He was every bit as good as Frank and Dean

[@baileyb8619]

Better!

[@greenboi3458]

Sammy absolutely carried the Rat Pack with the insane amount of talent he had. If it weren't for the era of discrimination he lived in, he would've blown Frank out of the water. Another crazy thing worth noting is how powerful his voice is. Look how far away the mic is during the finale of the song.

[@teodorojaranilla5008]

he absolutely was BETTER than Sinatra..vocal power, range...penetrating intensity of expression IN the voice, not just through interpretative style..and far more powerful timbre...SAMMY had the range and power of TRUE opera singer actually..not "crooner

[@wideawake5630]

Yep. And he didn't have a big barrel Pavarotti chest either.And his dancing. And his acting. And his drumming.

[@williammartin9612]

What an absolutely spectacular voice

[@perlamagbitang3432]

💕💕💕

[@AngelHawks]

Perfection ❤

[@mrstacyj9496]

no syrupy string section - a little dramatic toward the finish - just a clean version of the music and lyrics

[@johnclark7229]

Just the most amazing singer ,unbelievable performer,he didn't even need that microphone. Sadly this sort of talent doesn't exist anymore. God rest your beautiful soul Sammy. I miss you

[@karlhungus5554]

One of the greatest entertainers of all time! God bless you, Sammy. May you rest in peace. Thanks for everything.

[@Lff3333]

Sammy claimed this was the show that made him. His career started here

[@irvinemuscle]

What a wonderful entertainer, sorely missed today, and always. Pure voice, no gimmicks or technical garbage, just a great voice and magnificent band.

[@mannyrodriguez4992]

One of the greatest singer performers of all time..The INCREDIBLE SAMMY DAVIS JR...

[@bwortham565]

Talent!!, kids today need to take notes this is why you should be famous.

[@jolly7728]

What a consummate professional entertainer! He made excellent use of his great tenor voice, to say nothing of his many other abilities in show business. Wow!

[@Aprilhojazz]

wow, I'm speechless. He's the greatest showman!

[@bobisonline]

The guitarist is absolutely smokin'! Sammy's talent goes without saying!

[@TheJazzcritic]

I suspect it is Tony Mattolla who held down the job with Sammy for many years.

[@BillBene67]

Man, Sammy is one of the best ever. RIP little big man

[@jeffarc]

You can tell how strong his voice is.... when he moved the mic away from his mouth you can still hear him strongly

[@MorrisB3]

Talent ❤️✨✨ "Why can't I fall in love till I don't give damn? And, maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am? " (Sammy Davis Jr.)

[@darrencowley6396]

One of the best if not the best entertainer in the business called show business

[@debchancy2304]

That voice is incomparable.

[@sassyone82]

Wow, he was so cool and smooth....very fascinating. The ultimate entertainer and legend.

[@ndoutsider1574]

Gracias señor! Excellente!!

[@AtlasManuelAmante]

Wow!! Just Amazing!!! So moving!

[@pamgrimm8850]

❤

[@hawkrider88]

The greatest showman and entertainer...ever!

[@waterlec8718]

Sammy killed and buried it here, man 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😎👈

[@SarahConnolly63]

Ultimate showman with real talent. A beautiful, sensitive man who withstood so much racism and bad friendships - except for Frank Sinatra whose only fault was insensitivity at times ( those late Rat Pack shows were truly cringeworthy) 😮 Great to have this record and thanks for posting

[@bernmangilaya8322]

was he holding a cigarette while singing?!?!?!? Amazing!!!!

[@YenneyRossi]

✨Mi congratulo di cuore caro Sammy Davis Jr. per la condivisione di questa affascinante canzone straordinaria interpretazione 👍🎤🎶 Complimenti e applausi 🤗

[@stephaniestanley8041]

holy Christ, the finest performance!

[@rubbersoul0854]

What a voice!

[@billybeverweyk6494]

This man beyond the legend

[@tonylilley6611]

George Rhodes was THE premier band leader, in tune with Sammy Davis and absolutely necessary to Sammy's interpretation...

[@wendellbatts2477]

Not easy to follow. What Sammy was doing there vocally was insane. The first half was essentially acapella

[@tejimenez4684]

There will never be another Sammy Davis Jr. - his voice os so good aside from entertaining us! My one regret is I never got to see him sing and perform in person

[@kattrakee]

George was fine as a musical conductor And was with Mr. Davis a long time, ; but George and his wife who was Mr. Davis’s Financial manager cheated him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars throughout their employee with him. Sources say also that Mr. Davis’s wife at the time , Altovise Davis also sold all his assets and cheated him out of most of his money during the time he was gravely ill before his death. It’s a controversy that some of the family disputes and some say is absolute truth, I choose to believe that all these people took advantage of Mr. Davis. When he got his diagnosis of throat cancer, he had a choice as to whether to have surgery or to keep the entertainment dates that he was scheduled for for the next year or two, because he was literally destitute, so he chose to keep on singing even though it led to his death. People took advantage of him horribly, regarding money and he also was reported to have spent Money himself, extravagantly at times, but the fact that his very own wife and his trusted friends would do such a thing to him and pretend to be loving and caring is something I can’t forgive or forget. Mr. Davis‘s son is one source of information Regarding all of those that I have read in past years. Sammy had two children, of course both are grown now and I believe they were young adults when he passed away, i’m not sure if he had a will I believe he did ,but the wife Altovise contested it ,and already has stripped the house of everything valuable while he was comatose and dying at his Woodland Hills home in California in 1989. Very sad ending for a very beautiful person and talented man beyond imagination. Rest in peace Sammy Davis Junior 😢😭🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎵🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶⭐️⭐️

[@valeriecraftkitover4944]

Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. Words cannot express what a Talented....Gracious and giving Performer/Artist this man was....Show-business Personified....in every sense of

[@paulluk7515]

He can be heard miles away without the mic, truly spectacular!

[@sirdavidofthelake]

Remarkable performance by Sammy & the band.....7-7-2020 in the time of the Virus.

[@cricketbat09]

always with a cigarette. great singer

[@woodsman2265]

Wow, i got goosebumps, great version.

[@teresitahermosillo1062]

Una joya. Qué maravilla. Increíble voz.

[@YenneyRossi]

Che bellissima voce e interpretazione ★ Grazie caro Sammy Davis jr.per la condivisione @ Buon weekend!! ★

[@jadezee6316]

[@fhiNkme]

Lalake ba talaga kumanta nito? Ganda pakinggan pag lalaki

[@cankton1607]

Thanks for sharing! I loved him since age 6. I never missed his show.

[@kaylahjasmine]

Incredible

[@paulbrown9009]

That was the performance by the governor of cool what a performance what a great vocalist

[@ssjjggjj5561]

Prefer Sammy's version to Robert Goulet's. RG is like "well this is an issue, I need to fix it." Sammy's is more "this is my essential nature that I cannot change and I am alone for life and screwed."

[@dibujemaestro]

Excepcional en todo. Verlo es un privilegio

[@oskarjimenex7218]

Sammy fue un artista más completo que Sinatra, con una voz más rica en colores

[@catsanddogs1266]

Geneus..

[@buzzcut101]

A great talent only needs a song, mike, and audience. Music optional. Sammy a great talent in his day.

[@billybeverweyk6494]

What kind of fool am I Who never fell in love It seems that I'm thee only one That I have been thinking of What kind of man is this An empty shell A lonely cell in which An empty heart must dwell What kind of lips are these That lied with every kiss That whispered empty words of love That left me alone like this Why can't I fall in love Like any other man And maybe then I'll know What kind of fool I am What kind of clown am I What do I know of life Why can't I cast away this mask of play and live my life Why can't I fall in love Like any other man And maybe then I'll know What kind of fool I am

Al jolson embraced the Black community with his indistinguishable cover of a white Man being Black, Al jolson is a hero of his day, called History. All Lives Matters

[@reginaaroca9747]

Sabe usar o microfone como ninguém.

[@timmy841212]

WOW! He went IN on this performance.
