Sammy Davis on Arsenio Pt 3 of 3

[@grimlock3134]

Sammy would pass on within a year after this interview. A true gentleman, you can feel his love and energy through the computer screen. RIP Sammy

[@Karl671]

Sad man very sad😢

[@63bplumb]

Jesus! When he got up and walked over with ALL his talent and experience and sang that song with the band did Anyone else???? have tears in their eyes? I'm 65 so really have been around and knew SD Jr was a major talent but this guy was at the top of his game! PS: Can you imagine the band went home floating on air--WE played for SD Jr tonight!

[@sheilastockdale6715]

A true entertainer. He’s still one of my favorite singers. Rest In Peace, dear Sammy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kimono7350]

aaaaawwwwww, Sammy telling Arsenio he'd be there for him.....OMG, how sweet and moving❤️💋❤️! Looked like Arsenio was about to cry, and so was I!

[@GrasshopperRDG]

This Man's Voice Is: PASSION, DEPTH, HEART, CONVICTION, AND REVERENCE. "He Will ALWAYS Have My Standing Ovation!" What A GREAT* Mr. SAMMY DAVIS JR. XOXOXOXOXO!!!!

[@hawkrider88]

Amen.

[@inkyguy]

I'm glad we have a record of Sammy Davis Jr.'s talent or the world would scarce believe a man of such talent and grace ever lived.

[@DustySoulLtd]

Wow, just to think he was suffering from throat cancer at the time. Genius! Rest in praise Sammy!

[@thecjb2003]

@rudy2fat He passed in May 1990, so this has to be 89. His battle with cancer from diagnosis to death was for 9 months.

[@Karl671]

😢😢

[@hw5091]

This is probably during initial symptoms, before diagnosis. Always sucks looking back on stuff like this. @@thecjb2003

[@danacoleman4007]

I have chills all over!!!!

[@Channel-cm7yc]

Pure class all the way!!!!!!

[@unknown-p5j5x]

And today we have Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.

[@elizabethpease947]

Last Laff : Pitiful, isn’t it?

[@amandalively1]

Tears of joy..😂😭thanks Sammy ! The band was great too.

[@ccth22]

Stuff like this leaves me at a loss for words. Amazing!

[@beautylee9161]

I seriously believe that Arsenio wanted to cry during this interview.

[@mbrellin]

Well...it was his mentor and personal idol, I believe too that!

[@AngelsTakeMe2Heaven]

Matasha Lee Arsenio did seem touched by Mr. Davis' praise - and rightfully so

[@nomadman2182]

Matasha Lee hey boo

[@Nuevolutionsalsa]

Who wouldn't. Sammy's sincerity was felt. Hell that would make anyone what to cry. Sammy was a class act hands down.

[@vondraehawkins9232]

Matasha Lee they all knew he was sick

[@greenghost3756]

About time y'all got y'all lazy butts up, you should of gave him a standing ovation when he first came out, he's a LEGEND

[@karenperkins106]

Right!!!

[@Channel-cm7yc]

A beautiful human being. His talent and work are unparalleled, through the pain and ridicule people have to suffer through he took the high road and gave us all the love he had and we will never ever see the likes of this again!! You're absolutely right when royalty like Sammy enters the room YOU stand up and show your respect!

[@TheArtezful]

I said that too they ain't even stand up when he first came out I feel like they should have jumped to their feet immediately

[@the60sKid]

Sammy was a class act and an amazing talent and entertainer up to the end. He was the gold standard.

[@2dasimmons]

So TRUE. RIP marvelous Sammy Davis Jr., ICON.

[@TheSuey]

the60sKid a genuine and all around great guy. I wish he was still around

[@2dasimmons]

Don't we all, But his time will come again. This life is truly a testing ground. Wow. I'm listening to Lou Rawls sing IF I COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA and it's just fabulous. And really describes LIFE.

[@gimmeanidicanuse]

Hands down.

[@petedelrio5990]

the60sKid you took the words right out of my mouth. couldn't agree more. may he rest in peace.

[@eEdJones]

Arsenio never gets enough credit for documenting the history of African American classical music and talent. In this Arsenio has few equals and no superiors.

[@hawkrider88]

Real musicians able to sing and play with no prior discussion or rehearsal....The band and Sammy like they had planned it hours earlier. One incredible musician!! And thanks so much Joe Wellington this and many other of your posts have blessed me.

[@tatt2blue]

Thank you for posting these! What a treasure!!!!! I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to see him perform live twice in my lifetime....He had more talent in that little body than most alleged "entertainers" have in their toes!!!!

[@junkboxxxxxx]

🥇🥇🥇 Sammy Davis Jr 🥇🥇🥇 He's been gone from us for 32 years but obviously will never be forgotten. What a man. He did it all. He handled life's ups and downs with class, style, and humour in such a way that he made you feel grateful to be alive and around that. That is a rare ability found in only the top performers.

[@niajacobs9605]

So much respect, So much love. Sammy Davis is to be honored and respected for ever.

[@avrahamyoel7039]

One of the greatest entertainers to ever live! R.I.P., Sammy!

[@DaddyTre65]

Sammy Davis Jr. was an entertainment master! A gifted singer, dancer, actor and musician. And at age 63 he was doing some "A-plus" crooning!

[@MikeyGaming]

Legend. Plain and simple.

[@guaguancos.montunodcubop8923]

Sammy thank u for blessing our lives with your soul and talent. orgullo latino tambien porque la madre de el era boriqua. LONG LIVE SAMMY DAVIS JR!!!!

[@solitarywanderer]

So talented, so gracious, so polite, so moving - they don't make 'em like this anymore. A true show biz legend RIP.

[@eknockeywyharris7243]

This was beautiful to see. I remember watching it live. Sammy was so spiritual and giving.

[@guyfawkes9951]

Even in the face of all those setbacks in life and all that struggle and all that success, Sammy stayed humble, happy and appreciative of what he had. That's a rare talent all in itself.

[@Becauseimme]

Uncle Sammy transitioned when I was seven years old, I’ve heard stories about how great he was. Now as a 40 year old man I can see why my parents and grandparents used to rave about him, he was truly magical, just like all my people are. Shalawam.

[@gaetanpatience2122]

'time after time' ; top rendition of the song added to the right & well deserved interview is just too much**

[@gionncaomhinmorpheagh4791]

Wow! There are these talents and those talents. And then there's Sammy Davis Jr. No-one else even comes close. MsG

[@manufolk]

This was fantastic! I have such a huge admiration for the great man and artist Sammy Davis Jr was...

[@jerrysannan497]

[@Karl671]

True

[@dbrown9495]

A pleasant surprise, excellent impromptu performance! Classy professional and smooth

[@Twan1985]

Damn he promised Arsenio that he would be back but died a year later 😢😢😢

[@WHTT]

Wow. What a man. What a great, great soul. Thank you for sharing this, Joe Wellington. Thank you Sammy.

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

He was a great performer. He was performing on stage since he was very young. I love his impressions of the greats and his thoughtful interpretations of ANY song he ever sang!!

[@johnwalton5147]

Arsenio on Howard Stern made me look for this. Man I teared up watching this. A true legend and gentleman.

[@ruff1draft]

Arsenio Hall watching from the side as Sammy Davis performs is giveing me my grandparents told me about this man I see what they love about him vibes

[@ItiyahIsrael]

@JoeWellington.....Thank you so much for posting this classic episode , (1-3), of Sammy in it's entirety!!!

[@luisalcala2671]

THE GREAT SAMMY DAVIS.........WAS A JAZZ SINGER.....FIRST AND FOREMOST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Truegeeza]

[@AngelsTakeMe2Heaven]

The greatest entertainer of all time - hands down

[@stefunkypunky116]

Awesome interview with a great man. Thanks for sharing.

[@HULUMO]

I can never watch this video only once!

[@artbeau]

Ever the consummate professional, the entertainer, the magnificent. I sure do miss the most talented of the Rat Pack, the most brilliant entertainer of a long gone era. Sammy Davis Jr.

[@michaelpatrick4845]

There isn't anyone cooler than Sammy. First time seeing this. It was so real.

[@muzikman183]

Just so doggon COOL! Sammy killed it! The band stayed right with him! I LOVE how both party's collaborative experience worked together to pull off this impromptu jam.. kudos all around man!!

[@jessiejames7492]

he was u p there with the greatest of the greats in showbiz but yet so humble here with arsenio. thats a great personality

[@zekelucente9702]

So much to love about Sammy. I grew up in the 60’s and my dad was a musician and I was lucky enough to appreciate the standards and people like Sammy.

[@lordcron]

I just feel blessed to have lived in the era of Sammy Davis Jr. What a blessing he was to this planet. What joy he brought to millions during his time on earth when it wasn't easy to do so. He pushed through and got it done.

[@thaproductz]

I love Sammy! Rest. In paradise mr bojangles. This video moved me, we miss U Sammy

[@Spaceghost87x]

Love him miss him ... Sammy this guy right here . ✊🏾❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

[@miralow5727]

Born 8 Dec 1925, and being 63 as he said he was, makes the year either late 1988 or 1989. Wow, these days I remember full well. Going down to Memphis, then San Diego, El Paso and the Frisco Bay. As he pointed out society in the 1950s wasn´t ready for mingling of people. Today it´s possible to an extent not to be even dreamed of then.

[@KIBMELANIN]

Gosh. . .How Beautiful. . .Sammy Davis was a class act!

[@EDM9121]

Same here. He died a year before I was born. What bad timing on both mine and his part. Still I can see the vids of him and still appreciate his incredible talent.

[@josephhardaway3]

Sammy Davis Jr was SHOWBIZ ROYALTY!!

[@jjacks87]

The House Band after the song: dude we just played with Sammy Davis jr. Wtf!

[@valeriekitover7363]

What happened to Show Biz people….Really….Sammy has talent….class and just….everything!…..What a beautiful rendition of a wonderful song….

[@4687878]

I love Sammy like he was my own Father !!!

[@michaelduggan1890]

Sammy was amazing . I wonder if he and the band had even met prior to this song. All amazing musicians . What a treat for the audience .

[@UCKABAH]

No need to be sorry. The fact you put this up at all is fantastic. Thank you.

[@CAMPAZFilms]

"You guys sound too good." Baby, Sammy you sound too good man.

[@Buzz_Kill71]

I did, in fact, shed a tear. Shout out to Sammy Davis Jr. 👍

[@view2see1]

Real Talent....remember when this existed in abundance 🥲

[@LovesTrueSoul]

I was a boy when I first saw this and loved it like you wouldn't believe. When I was in High School I had this on video and played this episode out. I used "Time after Time" as my all-state audition.

[@tweezee]

Sammy Davis Jr! words can never express how i and the millions of fans of his feel about him. he is a really great lengendary man. really one of a kind.

[@leroycedillo8088]

What a humble and great man!! True icon!! What i wouldnt give to see him and the whole rat pack live!! Simply amazing.

[@VisionaryofMirage]

I have to say I'm really not very familiar with Sammy's work, but I keep re-watching this because of his warmth and soulful grace.

[@pogwo1968]

Did Sammy Davis Jr. ever come back to the show as he promised (at 6:35)? He died about a year later on May 1990. Excellent all-around entertainer. RIP

[@busterbiloxi3833]

Arsenio was a jerk and his show was cancelled after only one year on the air.

[@DGot14U]

@@busterbiloxi3833 His show was on for 6 seasons, not 1.

[@AladeenMusic]

@@busterbiloxi3833 not even close arsenals show lasted for 6 successful seasons and years and arsenio himself chose to leave show business to focus on his family

[@busterbiloxi3833]

@@AladeenMusic His show barely lasted a year and his career has gone nowhere ever since.

[@petebest22]

What a great and talented & caring and respectful & sentimental & loving man Sammy was 😊👍

[@debragarner4884]

When you're a class act too began with, it only takes a moment notice. That's what made LEGENDS! Thank you Mr SAMMY DAVIS JR.

[@corbett1970]

What a talent he was.....So dearly missed.

[@victornewman06]

Magnificent!!!!! I honestly got a little watery-eyed after that!!!! RIP Sammy, I know you are jammin' in heaven. :)

[@jaylakes7384]

[@68ElPadrino]

That was a true artist. He was jonzin' to hit the stage like he was fiending for drugs. No money involved. That's the best kinda artist. He was a legend, man. Stone Cold Legend. God bless him.

[@cindyrafn3438]

Amazing wonderful entertainer! So much class loved Sammy 😊

[@Luvie1980]

[@jamesmartin9401]

Gives me the chills. How great is that.

[@jeffkatt]

I wonder if he ever got a chance to come back before he passed. He had such a great stage presence. One of the coolest & classiest guys around. RIP.....🙏🏾🎤♥️😎

[@freddiesoverbite6162]

I heard Arsenio on Howard Stern talking about this. I remember it from when I was a kid but I had to watch it again. Sammy was the coolest of all the cats man.

[@carlosgale6777]

I worked at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles back in the early eighties. I was a Medical Transporter in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. They called me to the station and send me to one of the Doctor's office. When i went to the Doc's Office. There he was. Mr. Sammy Davis Jr. He was in his final months of his life. I sat him carefully (as with any other patient sincerely)...I was a mere 20 something years old guy. As I took him and his wife to their car, I remember well he gave me a $5 Tip telling me...."Here Kid" for a sandwich. He seemed and looked very tired and I remember saying a silent prayer for him. 2 or 3 months later he would die. That day this very humble man showed that sparkle in his eyes tired of feeling pain and physically weak due to cancer. Still he was this noble soul within a broken body. A class act even with cancer upon him.

[@Twan1985]

Wow I would've been in tears

[@spirit3936]

so so so beautiful.what a genius with so a humble persona.who would ever imagine he was a cosmic superstar who was truly loved by all he touched.love you the most mr davis.
